Our Story

Building the web since 2005.
Building it better now.

2005

Local Marketing US founded. We started building websites, running SEO campaigns, and managing Google Ads for local businesses across Southern California.

2005–2022

Spent 17+ years in the WordPress trenches. We got good at it. We also watched it get slower, less secure, and increasingly expensive to maintain properly. Plugin bloat. Constant updates. Hacked sites. Monthly maintenance fees that never ended.

The shift

Astro changed our thinking. A framework that ships zero JavaScript by default, generates pure HTML, needs no database, costs nothing to host on Cloudflare — and scores near-perfect on every speed test we ran. We rebuilt everything around it.

Today

We build Astro sites exclusively for businesses that are tired of overpaying for underperforming websites. Every site comes with a verified performance report. Every price is listed upfront.

Why we do this

Some "SEO companies" charge $15,000–$20,000 for a website — and another $3,000+ per month for SEO that amounts to a PDF report you can't decipher. We've seen it happen to good businesses that trusted the wrong people.

We're not here to be the cheapest option on the internet. We're here to give businesses of all sizes access to the same quality that enterprise companies get — at a price that actually makes sense for a real small business.

That means transparent pricing. No hourly billing surprises. No "maintenance retainers" that never touch your site. No PageSpeed scores that quietly slide back to 60 three months after launch.

We build Astro sites because Astro is genuinely better for most business websites — faster, more secure, cheaper to host, and easier to score well on the metrics Google actually uses to rank you. It's not about using the trendy new framework. It's about using the right tool for the job.

What we stand for

Speed as a standard, not a feature

Every site we build targets 95+ on Google PageSpeed. It's not an upgrade — it's the baseline.
