Why Plaza

Less than the cost of doing it yourself.

DIY website builders charge premium subscriptions and still leave you to figure it out. We do the work, support you after launch, and cost less.

01

AI-assisted, human-finished

We use AI to move faster, but every layout, copy choice, and customer detail gets a human's eyes before it goes live.

02

Three days from kickoff to live

Most agencies take 6-12 weeks. We've cut that down to 3 days because we've built our process around small business needs and we don't waste anyone's time.

03

A free 40-minute call with a US designer

Every project starts with an optional 40-minute call — no charge, no pitch — to talk through your business and design the site together. So many sites are built impersonally these days; we'd rather hear your voice. Based in the US.

04

No long contracts. Ever.

Pay month to month. Pause, downgrade, or leave whenever — your site and your domain are always yours.

Who's behind Plaza

Founded with small business in mind.

I'm Matt, the founder — UC Berkeley Economics, born and raised in Los Angeles, with a background in web design and business intelligence. Plaza exists because most local businesses are stuck choosing between $5k agencies and templated builders that all look the same.

Plaza is built for the in-between: real design, transparent pricing, no long contracts, and a team that actually picks up the phone.

By the numbers

Built for real small businesses.

A real example

What your monthly traffic report looks like.

No dashboards to log into. No 40-page PDFs no one reads. Just a plain email the first of every month — traffic, rankings, what we did, what's next.

Hi Maria — month three on Care is in the books. Two priority keywords cracked the top three, and the calls coming through your Google profile drove an estimated $4,200 in custom-cake orders this month based on the average ticket you shared with us. Below: what moved, what we did, and what's next.

🏆

What moved the needle  ·  What's next
What we did
  • Published 4 Google Posts — spring menu launch, two product photo sets, and a Mother's Day pre-order announcement (drove 11 of your 62 calls).
  • Cleaned 6 stale citations — Yelp, Apple Maps, Bing, YellowPages, and two local directories had old hours or your old phone number.
  • Launched the "Custom cakes" page — targeted at "birthday cakes Oakland." Already pulled in 142 visits and pushed the keyword from #12 to #7.
  • Turned on review request emails — sent to 41 customers via your Square receipts; 8 of them left a 5-star review (a 19.5% conversion rate, well above the 5–10% benchmark).
What we're trying next
  • Push "birthday cakes Oakland" into the top 5 — two supporting landing pages ("how to order a custom cake in Oakland" + a kids' birthday gallery) plus 8 new owner-uploaded cake photos.
  • Build a wedding-cakes landing page — "wedding cakes Bay Area" has ~2,400 searches/mo and you don't rank in the top 30. Big upside; this is the highest-leverage move on the table.
  • Seed Google Business Q&A — with the questions we hear most: gluten-free, custom orders, lead time, delivery zones. These show up directly under your map listing.
  • A/B test the review-request email subject line — current is "Quick favor?" — testing "Loved your visit? 30 seconds." against it.
⚠ One honest concern "Croissants near me" has been flat at #6 for 8 weeks. Your croissant photos on the profile are older and the page on your site is thin (one paragraph, no photos). If we don't move it by next month's report, I'd recommend either re-shooting the croissant photos with us or accepting that this keyword may not be winnable against the two French bakeries above you. Want to chat through it?

Common questions

Quick answers before you ask.

Got more questions? We've got more answers.

See all FAQs →
01How fast can my site launch?
Three days from the moment you send your content and photos. We've built our process around hitting that deadline every time.
02What happens if I want to leave?
You take your domain, your content, and an export of your site. No lock-in, no penalty, no awkward conversations.
03Do you guarantee a top 3 Google ranking?
No one honest does. What we do guarantee: your Google Business profile gets optimized, your local SEO gets handled, and you get a monthly report showing real progress.
04What's included in the 3 hours of monthly changes?
Updating menus, prices, photos, hours, adding new pages, swapping content — anything that doesn't require a redesign. Most months we don't even use the full 3 hours.
