  • Built to measurable standards: Google PageSpeed 90+ on mobile, WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility, and a 15-point on-page SEO check on every page.

  • One team for marketing and technology. Need email, security or IT support? SupportMax, our sister company, handles it.

What clients say

Clients on working with Telling Marketing

Real feedback from businesses we have worked with, shared with their permission.

We finally knew the total price before we committed.

“We’d gotten vague estimates from other agencies and had no idea what the project would actually cost. Telling Marketing sent a written proposal with scope, timeline and a fixed price within two days.”

Emily JohnsonOwner, Professional Services

They explained the plan before touching the design.

“What stood out was that they agreed on the page plan and keywords in writing before any design started. We weren’t guessing about what we were getting.”

Ashley DavisOperations Director, Retail

We own our site and accounts, and that matters.

“Knowing our domain, website and ad accounts stay in our name has been a relief. We’re not locked in, and that changed how we felt about the whole decision.”

Christopher MillerManaging Partner, Legal Services

How a project works

Six steps, each with a clear deliverable you approve before we move on. A typical marketing website takes 6 to 10 weeks from discovery to launch.

  1. Discovery

    A 60-minute working session on your goals, customers and competitors, plus a technical and SEO audit of what you have today.

  2. Strategy & sitemap

    Keyword research, page plan and conversion goals agreed in writing before any design starts.

  3. Design

    Wireframes, then full designs for desktop and mobile. You review real layouts, not mood boards.

  4. Build

    Development on WordPress or your chosen platform, with SEO, schema, accessibility and speed built in from day one.

  5. Test & launch

    Cross-device testing, a 15-point SEO check on every page, redirects from old URLs and a monitored launch.

  6. Grow

    Monthly reporting, content, campaigns and improvements based on what the data shows.

New: AI search

Be the answer when customers ask AI

More people now ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews for recommendations instead of scrolling search results. These tools favor businesses with clear, structured, well-cited information across the web.

Our AI search and visibility service audits how AI assistants describe your business today, fixes the gaps in your site, schema and listings, and tracks your mentions over time.

What we check

  • How ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity describe you
  • Structured data and entity consistency
  • Reviews and listings AI tools rely on
  • Content that answers buyer questions directly

Frequently asked questions

How much does a website cost with Telling Marketing?

It depends on page count, features and content. Every project gets a fixed-price proposal within two business days of a discovery call, so you know the total before you commit. See pricing and packages for what drives cost.

How long does it take to build a website?

A typical marketing website takes 6 to 10 weeks. Smaller landing-page projects can launch in 2 to 3 weeks; ecommerce and custom builds take longer and are scheduled in the proposal.

Do you only work with Los Angeles businesses?

No. We are based in Los Angeles and love local clients, but we work with businesses across the United States through video calls and shared project boards.

Will my new website rank on Google?

Every page is built to a 15-point on-page SEO standard with schema, fast load times and accessible markup. Rankings also depend on competition and content, which is why we pair launches with an SEO plan.

Do I own my website and accounts?

Yes. Your domain, hosting, website, content, analytics and ad accounts stay in your name. If you ever leave, you take everything with you.
