THE QUARTERLY GIVEAWAY

Big help.
All on me.

One business gets the website. One gets the audit. One gets a year of SEO. Here’s what I’ll actually do for each.

GIFT 01 / ONE BUSINESS

A new website.
Or a full redesign.

Your first website, or a complete redesign of the one you have. Show people what you offer and make it easy to visit, book or get in touch. Completely free.

What’s in the gift

I handle the design, build and launch. We’ll use your business’s own character, photos and information, make it work well on a phone, and give customers a clear next step.

Design, build, launch and hosting are free, with a full year of support after launch. The website and files are yours. Prefer your own host or service? I’ll hand everything over.

Free hosting + 1 year of support.$0
GIFT 02 / ONE BUSINESS

A deep online
business audit.

My research, a personal walkthrough and a plan you can use: how customers find you, where you could cut costs, and which repetitive jobs could be easier.

What’s in the gift

I check your website, Google presence and the steps customers take to contact or buy from you. We’ll also look at tools you pay for and tasks that keep eating up your time.

You get the findings, examples of improvements and a prioritized action plan. I’ll walk you through what I’d change first, what it would help with and what can wait.

Research + walkthrough + plan.Your cost: $0
GIFT 03 / ONE BUSINESS

A year of help
getting found.

Twelve months of SEO: hands-on work to help people find you on Google when they search for what you sell or do. I handle the research and improvements.

What’s in the gift

I review where you stand, make a plan and work on the website content, local search information and technical issues that matter for your business.

We’ll track progress and talk in plain English. This covers 12 months of agreed SEO work; rankings and customer numbers aren’t guaranteed.

OKAY, WHO’S THIS GUY?

I’ve helped big companies.
Now it’s your turn.

I’m Josh. I run Go Cedar Valley. I like working with the person whose name, livelihood and late nights are wrapped up in their business.

I’ve helped big companies that went on to get bought by even bigger companies. These days, I want to put that experience to work for more of the people running businesses around here.

The grocery. The crystal shop. The family business. The owner who knows something could work better but hasn’t had the time, budget or right person to tackle it with. I want to be that person.

My Christian faith is a big part of why I want to put my skills to work for my neighbors. This is one practical way I can do that.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO GET BACK?

More customers.
Less admin.
An evening off.

Maybe you want more people walking through your door. Maybe you’d like customers to find answers without calling you, or appointment requests that don’t take five messages to sort out.

You don’t have to be chasing a bigger business. Getting some of your time back counts, too.

FAIR QUESTIONS.

Yes, really.
Here’s the deal.

Still wondering about something?
Give me a call: (319) 214-2026

Is it actually free?

Yes. I cover the work and costs of the gift. The website includes free hosting and one year of support. The audit includes my research, walkthrough and action plan. The SEO gift includes 12 months of work. No required purchase or obligation to hire me afterward.

Why are you giving this away?

I want to meet local owners and do something useful for them. I run a web business, and I hope good work leads to good relationships. You don’t owe me paid work, a review or a referral in exchange.

Who is this for?

Small businesses across the Cedar Valley, in any industry. Shops, groceries, restaurants, makers, trades and the businesses that don’t fit neatly into a category. You can have an existing website or no website at all.

What if I don’t need any of this?

Then you may be right! You know your business. If you do have something you’d like to improve and time, knowledge or budget has stood in the way, that’s where I’d like to help.

Already have a website?

The website gift can be a complete redesign of your existing site. It can also be your first website. Both are included in the offer.

How and when will you choose?

I’ll review the businesses that get in touch and choose one recipient for each gift. My target is October 31, 2026. Depending on the response, I may close interest earlier or extend the date. I’ll contact the selected owners directly and agree on the work before we begin.

Who owns the website? What happens after a year?

The website and its files are yours. Hosting with me is free, and support is included for one year after launch. If you prefer your own host or service, I’ll hand everything over. The separate SEO gift covers 12 months of work. There’s no automatic paid plan; any extra help later is your choice.

Will this turn into another job for me?

I handle the research and the agreed work. You confirm the business details, provide anything only you have, and approve changes. I’ll explain what I need and take care of the technical steps.

Your business has a person behind it.
So does this offer.
