This Black Friday: Upgrade the Engine Behind Your Business

You already have a website.

What you don’t have is momentum.


We’ve reviewed over a hundred dealer sites this year — same phrases, same structure, same results: flat.

Call us. We’ll show you the actual Google search results.


If your site could swap logos and still make sense, Google already knows.

And so do homeowners — they don’t look at just one site.

That sameness kills credibility and wipes out the “custom” you thought you paid for or represent.


This Black Friday, we’re helping you be you again — with original sites and affordable rebuild packages built for real dealers, not templates.


Why Your Current Site Isn’t Working

1️⃣ Cloned Website = Invisible Brand

Most “custom” sites aren’t. Agencies recycle the same copy across dozens of dealers.

If your site can swap logos and still make sense — it’s a clone.

Cloned sites don’t rank. That early “traffic”? Probably paid, not performance.


Look familiar?

“5 Benefits of Smart Shades.”

“5 Reasons You Need Automated Shades.”

“5 Features of Smart Window Treatments.”

We’ve seen the exact same blog, on so many “custom” sites.

If everyone’s saying the same thing, no one’s being heard.



Google keyword planner results comparing motorized blinds, automated shades, and smart shades search volumes, showing motorized blinds with highest monthly searches.
Google keyword data shows homeowners search “motorized blinds” up to 10× more often than “automated” or “smart” shades — proving most agencies don’t speak the homeowner’s language.

2️⃣ Wrong-Language SEO

Homeowners don’t search “integrators.”

They search motorized blinds, outdoor speakers, home theater install.

Using trade terms like “automated shades” instead of homeowner language kills real leads.

(Insert example image.)


3️⃣ Add-On Taxes

“Hosting.” “SSL.” “Chat.”

We’ve seen these marked up to $300–$400/year — for what should cost under $25.

You’re not Best Buy. You don’t need bloated software to sell trust.


4️⃣ Too Much Overhead, Not Enough Outcome

Dealers don’t want meetings or tech talk.

You want one login, fast edits, and a simple answer: “Are leads going up?”


5️⃣ No Territory Protection

If your agency works with you and your competitor in the same county — no one wins.

We don’t do that.


Google Analytics chart showing large difference between organic search traffic and minimal traffic from social media, proving search delivers more website visits.
Real analytics don’t lie. In the last 90 days, organic Google search brought nearly 2,000 visits — while social media delivered just 23. SEO builds equity. Social burns budget.

6️⃣ You’re Being Duped by “Social Is King”

Unless you’re spending $3K–$4K a month, social isn’t driving traffic — it’s making noise.

Even with good posts, most dealer sites see < 25 visits/month.

Meanwhile, Google and AI search pull hundreds to thousands to original content.

The difference isn’t spend. It’s originality.

Ask your agency to send over a screen shot of your Google Business Profile with this filled out properly. Each missing service, keyword, or description costs visibility — and it’s often the difference between showing up or disappearing.

7️⃣ Your Google Business Profile Isn’t Complete

Half-done profiles don’t rank in the map pack.

You need: correct categories (primary + supporting), service areas, products/services with prices or ranges, photos (real jobs, updated), Q&A seeded with homeowner language, booking/call tracking, reviews with owner replies, and weekly posts.

Nuance matters. Done right, GBP can outperform your homepage for local intent.
