What Other Agencies Charge Monthly

The optimization baked into your new site isn't just a one-time setup — it's an ongoing technical discipline. Here's what businesses typically pay to maintain what we build in from the start.

Service Agency Average / Month With RMG Monthly Plan
Technical SEO Maintenance & Monitoring $500 – $1,500 ✓ Included
Schema & Structured Data Updates $200 – $500 ✓ Included

The winner's site launches with everything already built in — no monthly agency fees for the basics. The RMG maintenance plan keeps your schema current, your performance sharp, and your AI discovery signals tuned as the landscape evolves. Hosting runs approximately $20/month through Vercel — that's it.

Who We're Looking For

Selection Criteria

We're choosing one business to build a genuine success story around. Not the biggest — the right fit. Here's what we're looking for.

Local or Regional Business

Restaurants, contractors, medical, legal, fitness, retail, hospitality, home services — any business with a physical service area and customers to reach.

Outdated or Missing Website

No website, or a site that hasn't meaningfully evolved in years. Bonus points if you already know it's hurting you but haven't known where to start.

Growth-Ready Owner

You're not coasting — you're actively trying to grow. You understand that your website is a business asset, not just an online brochure.

Willing to Be a Case Study

We document the before and after. Traffic, rankings, performance metrics. Your success becomes proof of what's possible — with your permission and involvement.

Full Transparency — Here's the Fine Print

The website build is provided at no cost to the winner. The monthly maintenance plan ($199/month) begins at launch and is required for a minimum of 12 months — after which it continues month-to-month. Rayburn Media Group retains management of the site infrastructure and hosting environment for the duration of the agreement. Hosting through Vercel is approximately $20/month. Domain registration or transfer, if needed, is the winner's responsibility. Content updates and change requests beyond standard maintenance are available as an add-on service. There are no hidden fees outside of what is stated here.
