The trades Atlanta searches for
Restaurants top the list at about 60,500 searches. Among services, house cleaning leads at roughly 4,400 a month, which is higher than in almost any other city we've checked. Plumbers, dentists, lawyers and hair salons follow at about 3,600 each. Roofing, HVAC and therapists sit near 1,900, electricians and real estate agents near 1,300, and landscaping and contractors around 1,000.
This is Google for "web design firm atlanta" from an Atlanta location. The map pack sits on top, then list articles from 10 Best Design, RevenueBase and The Manifest, with a few agencies between them. Big lists help buyers compare, but they rarely show what a small business site will cost.
Here is the map result for a house cleaning search in Atlanta. With so many cleaners competing, reviews and an accurate service area carry most of the weight, and your site should repeat that area clearly.
Inside the Perimeter or outside it
Atlantans sort places by I-285. Inside the Perimeter you have Midtown, Buckhead, Virginia-Highland, Inman Park, Old Fourth Ward, Grant Park, East Atlanta and West Midtown. Outside it are Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Roswell, Alpharetta, Marietta, Smyrna, Decatur, Tucker, Lawrenceville and the south side toward College Park and Peachtree City. Traffic means a customer in Alpharetta often won't call a business based in East Point for a small job. Name the areas you really cover, and give the main ones their own pages.
We've worked in this market: one of the home service sites in our portfolio is a Marietta irrigation company, shown further down this page.
Heat, storms and Georgia clay
Summers are hot and humid, so AC repair and replacement dominate from May into September. Thunderstorms and the occasional ice storm bring down trees and power lines. Red clay drains poorly, which leads to foundation, drainage and lawn problems. Roofers, tree services, plumbers and landscapers can all build pages around those seasonal problems.
Georgia licensing
Georgia licenses electrical, plumbing and conditioned air contractors, as well as residential and general contractors, through state licensing boards under the Secretary of State. Customers can look up a number online, and showing it on your site saves them the trouble. Check the current requirements for your trade.
What an Atlanta site costs
$299 base, $15 each extra page, $630 cap. A cleaning company with five services and five area pages pays $449. A law office with six practice pages pays $389. Savannah, Augusta and Macon are covered on web design in Georgia. For trade structure, see websites for cleaning companies or law firm websites.
Picking a web design firm in Atlanta
Many Atlanta firms build large brand projects, and their pricing reflects that. If you run a cleaning company or a two-truck HVAC business, ask any firm three questions before you sign: what the total price is, who owns the domain and the site, and what you pay each month after launch. Fuzzy answers on any of those are a warning sign. With us, the total is fixed before work starts, you own everything, and the monthly cost covers hosting only if you want us to host it.
Photos and reviews from real Atlanta jobs
Atlanta customers see a lot of polished agency sites, and they can tell stock photos from the real thing. A cleaner's before-and-after kitchen in Kirkwood or a plumber's truck outside a Decatur bungalow builds more trust than any skyline image. Reviews work the same way: ask customers to mention the neighborhood and the job, and we'll place them on the matching pages.
Spanish-speaking customers live across Gwinnett, Cobb and the Buford Highway corridor. If your team answers in Spanish, a few Spanish service pages can reach them.
