Most local jobs start in a search result or a map listing — but that is only how someone finds you. The website is where they decide to call. Frontage builds that site for local service businesses, puts it on a domain you own, and keeps it current every month.
Frontage is a local-service website and Presence Care provider that builds a five-page phone-first site on a domain you own and keeps it current for independent trades in Wilmington, Delmarva, and nearby.
A Frontage preview on a Frontage address, so you are looking at a real page instead of a description. It is not this marketing site, and it is not a domain the business keeps.
A Google Business Profile puts you in the result. What happens next is a decision — whether you look real, whether you do the thing they need, whether calling you is easy. That decision happens on your website.
Your facts live in one place.
Services, hours, service area and the questions customers actually ask get collected once. Every page is built from that record, so the hours in your footer cannot disagree with the hours on your contact page.
Someone has to keep it current.
A site that was accurate two years ago is working against you now. Presence Care is the part where hours, services and answers keep matching the business you are actually running.
What we guarantee: a working, accurate site — built from your facts and kept in good repair.
What Frontage does
Frontage builds the website local service businesses get judged on after a map listing finds them — then keeps that site true month to month. Three pieces make up the offer.
Setup — five-page phone-first site
We collect your facts once and build five pages from that record: home, services, about, FAQ, and contact. The site is phone-first so the fastest thing a visitor can do is call you, and it goes live on a domain in your name. Outcome: a real door after Google Maps or a search result — not a blank DIY canvas.
Presence Care — keep it current
Presence Care is the monthly part: hosting and DNS coordination, uptime and certificate checks, up to one small content edit a month, up to four Google Business Profile post drafts (posted only after you approve), and a short note on what changed. Outcome: hours, services, and answers keep matching the business you are actually running.
Domain handling — you own it
If you already own a domain, pointing it (DNS and HTTPS) is included in Setup. If you need a new domain, we quote the registrar cost as an upcharge — registered in your name, renews on your card. Outcome: you leave with the domain; Frontage does not hold it hostage.
Frequently asked questions
Why is a Google Maps listing not enough?
A Google Business Profile puts you in the result. That is usually how someone finds you. What happens next is a decision — whether you look real, whether you do the job they need, whether calling you is easy. That decision happens on a website, not in the map pin.
The listing can show a name, a category, and a phone number. The questions that close the call — hours, what you actually do, whether you cover their area, who is behind the name — need a page that is yours. Frontage builds that page and keeps it current.
What is a “real door”?
Five pages, built from one record of your facts: home, services, about, FAQ, and contact. Services, hours, service area, and the questions customers actually ask get collected once, so the hours in your footer cannot disagree with the hours on your contact page.
Phone-first: the fastest thing a visitor can do is call you. It goes live on a domain in your name and on your account — yours to leave with.
Harbor Plumbing on a Frontage address is a preview, so you see a real page instead of a pitch. It is not a live client and not a domain anyone keeps.
Should I build it myself or hand it off?
A DIY builder hands you a tool and an empty page. The site is then only as current as the last free evening you had.
Honestly: if you will build it and maintain it yourself, a DIY builder is genuinely cheaper — use one. Frontage is for owners who would rather hand the website to someone than own another chore. We sell a built site plus monthly care, not a login and a blank canvas.
What does it cost? Setup $899 + Care $149, together
Setup is $899 one-time: we build the site and put it on your domain. Presence Care is $149 per month: we keep it live and keep it current. The two go together — we do not sell the build on its own.
If you already own a domain, pointing it (DNS and HTTPS) is included in the $899 and ownership stays with you. A new domain is a quoted upcharge, not inside the $899, registered in your name and renewed on your card.
Do structured content and /llms.txt get me ranked or cited by AI?
No. Structured content and an /llms.txt help search engines and AI assistants read the business. That is hygiene — not a ranking trick, and not a guarantee that any assistant will cite you.
What we guarantee is a working, accurate site, built from your facts and kept in good repair.
Who builds Frontage?
Frontage is built by Tyler Read at Frontage Tech, LLC, in Wilmington, Delaware. You work with Tyler on intake, preview, and the Payment Link — there is no anonymous sales desk.
What is Frontage Tech, LLC?
Frontage Tech, LLC is the legal entity behind the Frontage brand and withfrontage.com. Invoices, Stripe, Payment Links, and contracts use Frontage Tech, LLC; the public brand remains Frontage.
What it costs
The two go together. We do not sell the build on its own — a site nobody maintains stops being true within a year.
Setup
$899one-time
We build the site and put it on your domain.
Five pages: home, services, about, FAQ, contact
Phone-first calls to action — the fastest thing a visitor can do is call you

Not unlimited edits — a bigger change gets quoted first
How payment works. We talk first. When a Frontage preview looks right and you approve it, Tyler emails you a Payment Link for Setup $899 + Presence Care $149/mo (sold together — we do not sell the build alone). You pay there, then we lock facts and publish. There is no self-serve checkout on this site.
Whichever domain you go live on, it ends up in your name and on your account. It is yours to leave with.
See it before you buy
Free to look at
We can put a preview matched to your trade on a Frontage address, so you are looking at a real page instead of a description. It is not a domain you keep — it is how you decide.
Most owners do. We point it at the site and handle DNS and HTTPS. Nothing changes about who owns it — it stays your domain, on your account.
You need a new domain
Quoted upcharge — not inside the $899
We help you register one, in your name, on GoDaddy. What it costs is what the registrar charges, and we quote it to you before anything is bought.
Year two and after
Renews on your card
The domain renews on your own card. Presence Care coordinates it and tells you when it is due — we do not quietly pay for your domain forever and then hold it.
How it works
01
Intake
We collect the business once — services, hours, service area, and the questions your customers actually ask. That record is the only place your facts live.
02
We build the door
Five pages, built from that record rather than typed one at a time. Every heading and every answer traces back to something you told us. There is no builder for you to log into and no template to maintain.
03
Your domain, then Care
It goes live on a domain you own, hosted and monitored by us. From there Presence Care keeps hours, services and answers current as the business changes.
What this is not
Not a DIY builder
Those hand you a tool and an empty page. The site is then only as current as the last free evening you had.
Not a profile with nothing behind it
A map listing on its own gets you found and then offers a phone number. The questions that decide the call go unanswered.
Not a ranking service
We sell a working front door and a monthly retainer to keep it true. We do not sell positions, traffic, or guarantees about either.
What makes Frontage different
Built site plus monthly care — not a login and a blank page
DIY builders hand you a tool and an empty canvas. Frontage sells a finished five-page door plus Presence Care so someone else keeps facts current. If you will build and maintain it yourself, a DIY path is genuinely cheaper — use it. We are for owners who would rather hand the website off than own another chore.
Sold together on purpose
Setup $899 and Presence Care $149/mo go together. We do not sell the build alone, because a site nobody maintains stops being true. That is an honesty constraint on the SKU, not a discount gimmick.
Conversation-first — no public Buy button
There is no self-serve checkout on this site. We talk, you see a Frontage preview, and when it looks right Tyler emails a Payment Link for Setup + Care. You decide with a real page in front of you, not a cart.
Not a ranking or map-pack service
We sell a working front door and a retainer to keep it accurate. We do not sell Local Pack positions, traffic promises, or AI-citation guarantees. Structured content and /llms.txt are readability hygiene — not a ranking trick.
Local product, not a national SEO agency
Frontage is built in Wilmington, Delaware, for local service businesses in Delmarva and nearby — trades that get most work by phone. The goal is a site that turns map-listing visitors into calls, not a campaign desk.
Who it is for
A good fit if
You get most of your work by phone — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and trades that run the same way
You work in Wilmington, the Delmarva area, or nearby
You would rather hand the website to someone than own another chore
Probably not, if
You want to build and run it yourself — a DIY builder is genuinely cheaper, and you should use one
You want the build without the monthly — we do not sell it that way, for the reason above
Who is behind it
Frontage is built by Tyler Read at Frontage Tech, LLC, in Wilmington, Delaware.
Technology and AI product background, pointed at something small and concrete: a front door for a local business that actually works.
The goal is value you can see — a site that turns the people a map listing sends you into phone calls.
Independent businesses should look online the way they look in person. That is the whole reason this exists.
Hosting and DNS keep a live site running without one person at the keyboard; if Frontage ever needed a handoff, that is a conversation, not a vanishing act.
A local product for local service businesses — not a national SEO agency.
