What Edwardsville buyers expect on your site
Edwardsville searches mix campus traffic, Madison County residents, and Glen Carbon commuters. The site should separate those audiences only when your offers truly differ.
- A specific headline that says who you help in Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, or Troy.
- Service pages that match how people search, not one long paragraph of everything you do.
- Directions or service-area language that mentions Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, or Troy when true.
- Contact options that work after hours for students and commuters browsing on a phone.
- Published prices or starting points when you already quote them publicly.
Questions Edwardsville owners ask
Questions Edwardsville owners ask about SIUE-related traffic, Madison County pages, and the same fixed pricing published on decent4.com/pricing/.
Can you write for both residents and SIUE traffic?
Yes. I agree on the audiences that matter, then structure pages and CTAs for those searches without inventing claims.
What is included in Starter?
Starter is $1,500 for up to 5 pages: home, services, about, reviews, and contact, with mobile layout, fast load, Google-ready setup, a contact form, click-to-call, and a Google Business Profile check.
When does Growth make sense?
Growth is $3,000 and includes everything in Starter, plus a page for each service and each town you serve, a quote form that texts you the lead, review requests after each job, and call and form tracking.
How long does a site take?
A focused first version can launch in 1 to 3 weeks when the content and feedback are ready.
