I’m AJ Martin — a webmaster in Atlanta with over 20 years of WordPress experience.
Something about your website isn’t quite right, or you wouldn’t be here. Find your problem below and then hire me to fix it. Most of them are cheaper to fix than you think. I can help you with a one time issue or on a month to month basis.
Fire me anytime and lose nothing. Ask your current web company to put that in writing.
Odds are you have at least one and probably more than one of the issues listed below. No pressure to find all of them now – scan the list and find the one you feel is the most important to fix TODAY.
Note: many times these issues are interrelated and one fix solves many other “symptoms”.
Sometimes it’s a deep problem. Sometimes your site has been telling Google to go away since the day it launched — and nobody ever noticed. I check the embarrassing stuff first. Then I crawl every inch of your site text, metadata, images, schema, headers, titles, canonicals and many other geeky things you wouldn’t know to ask. You are an expert in your field not a search engine specialist – leave that to me.
Google My Business pages are one of the most important digital assets for businesses that need local search traffic. If these pages are incorrect or not optimized your competition will steal your traffic and ultimately your clients.
That map listing isn’t your website — it’s a separate thing, and it’s probably half-abandoned. Fixes are simple but boring and unglamorous. When somebody actually owns the job and cares this gets the attention it deserves.
AI tools read websites like Google does — just pickier. I build pages AI can actually quote. Almost nobody around Atlanta is doing this for local businesses yet. Current clients are FIRST on ChatGPT chat replies – can’t get better than that.
One page for every town you work in. It’s not glamorous. It works.
Reviews only work when they’re answered, current, and sitting where customers look. That’s a system, not luck.
Pull out your phone and look at your site right now. I’ll wait. Squished? Overlapping? Can’t tap the phone number? That’s what every customer sees — most of them never see the desktop version at all.
Slow sites lose people before they ever see your work. Usually it’s fixable without a rebuild — bloated plugins, oversized photos, cheap hosting.
You do $20,000 jobs. Your site looks like an $800 special. That gap costs you credibility every single day, on every single estimate. You can never know how many people NEVER call you because your initial impression is poor – especially on mobile sites.
If your site runs on WPBakery or another aging builder, it’s not you — the technology is dying under it. I migrate old WordPress sites to modern Elementor without losing your content or your rankings.
Silent lead loss is the worst money you’ll ever lose — because you never know it happened. I submit every form, tap every phone link on a real phone, and check every thank-you page. Then it gets monitored so it stays working.
Ask them for the list of what they did last month. I send that list every month without being asked — in plain English, not a 30-page report that says nothing.
You’re not alone — it’s half of how I meet people. Let’s get you back in control of your own site first, then talk about what it needs.
If you don’t know, the answer is probably “not you.” That’s fixable — and it’s a lot easier to fix before it’s a crisis than after.
With me: nothing. Everything is in YOUR name, backed up off-platform — your site AND your Google Business Profile content. If I get hit by a bus, you lose nothing.
Don’t panic, and don’t pay whoever emailed you about it — that email is usually the scam. Let me look. Real hacks are fixable; I’ve cleaned plenty.
A page that posts regularly, yes — it’s a trust signal, and a dead page looks like a dead business. If you are going to have one it needs to stay updated, not looking like an abandoned building. Also the contact information needs to be correct as these are the most used citations by Google for GMB confirmations.
Boosting posts and hoping? No — that’s donating to Facebook. Done properly, ads are a separate conversation, and I’ll tell you honestly if I don’t think you need them.
I don’t sell them. Ads are a pain. If ads really are your answer, I’ll say so and point you somewhere honest. Most Google ads are swapping money since they recently changed their bidding model to increase their revenues on the back of their advertisers.
For most local businesses, no. Real photos of real jobs beat stock video every time.
Most sites can be fixed. The audit answers that question — and the audit fee credits toward the work either way.
“Blogging,” no. Blogging is for travel sites and mommy bloggers. Anyone selling you blogging services needs to be able to explain WHY. Pages that answer exactly what your customers type into Google and ChatGPT — yes. That’s different, and it’s what I build every month.
It’s starting to. When somebody asks ChatGPT “whats the best company to fix my garage door” you want to be the answer. That’s built into how I write every page.
My prices are right below. If someone won’t show you prices, that tells you something.
A typical agency bills from $1,500 to $4,000 a month to maintain a local business website — updates, a few posts, a report, a monthly call. That’s decent work passing through a lot of hands: account managers, project managers, and somebody’s office lease. I do the same work myself for $1,000 a month. Same deliverables. One person. No org chart, no fancy offices, no break room – all those agency costs eventually show up on your invoice.
I review what you have, what you own, and what your agency actually delivers each month. $250, credited back to you on your first project.
Domain, hosting, and every login move into your name. You own everything from day one.
I take over quietly — your site doesn’t blink, your rankings don’t reset.

I’ve been working with WordPress since it launched in 2003 — over 20 years and more than a thousand WordPress sites, including years running sites for companies with 500+ employees. Now I do it for local businesses that are great at their work and tired of being burned on their websites.
I’m not an agency. There’s no account manager, no ticket queue, no 30-page reports. You get me. I answer my own phone, and if a task takes ten minutes, I don’t bill an hour.
A full-time webmaster on payroll runs about $7,500 a month with benefits. Your website needs one — it just doesn’t need one full-time. That’s the whole idea: $500 to $1,000 a month buys you the fraction your business actually uses. Same expertise, no salary, no long-term commitment — month-to-month, and you own everything.
No hostage holding like some agencies attempt on their clients. I have to earn your business each day.
