About Capital Growth Studio
Capital Growth Studio is a founder-led web design and local search studio, started in 2024. We focus on Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia, and we also work with businesses outside the region. The person who answers your call builds your site and runs your campaigns, and everything we build belongs to you. We also build custom tools for commercial trade firms, such as hiring systems and office automation.
Why we started Capital Growth Studio
Many business owners have had the same problems with agencies. The agency owns the domain under a monthly website plan, the owner cannot log in to the ad account, and reports show clicks and impressions but no increase in calls.
We started Capital Growth Studio to work differently. Your accounts stay in your name. Reports show calls and form fills, not only clicks. We also tell you what is worth doing for a business your size, including when the answer is "you can do this yourself."
Who you work with
Capital Growth Studio is a founder-led studio, not a large agency. When you call, you speak with the person who builds your website, writes your campaigns and reads your reports, not an account manager.
We take on only a few clients at a time, and one person is accountable for the work on your account.
How is Capital Growth Studio different from a typical agency?
We focus on the DMV
DC, suburban Maryland and Northern Virginia are our home markets, so we study how people here search: the towns they type, the listings that appear and the competitors you face.
You own everything
Your domain, website files, Google Ads account, Business Profile and analytics are in your name from day one. If we part ways, you keep all of it, and every fee, including hosting and your domain, is in your written quote.
You see where your money goes
Each month you receive a report on what was spent, what it produced, what we changed and why. We tell you before we change anything in your accounts.
We tell you what we do not do
We do not manage social media, design logos or make videos. If you need these services, we will refer you to a specialist.
What does local marketing work with us look like?
Timing depends on your needs, and you receive dates in writing before we start.
See where you stand
We review your current website, Google listing and any ads, and show you:
- How customers search for what you do
- Where you miss calls
- Who shows up instead of you
- What to fix first
Fix the basics and launch
- Fix the website problems that cost you calls
- Make sure your Google listing is complete and correct
- Set up conversion tracking for calls and forms
- Start Google Ads, if they are part of the plan
Report and adjust every month
- A monthly report
- A call to review it
- Changes based on what the numbers show
Build over time
Local SEO builds over months, not weeks. Over time we work on:
- More, and more recent, Google reviews
- Pages for the services and towns you want to be found for
- A site that keeps up as your business changes
Your website should be your best salesperson
We build websites that answer a customer's first questions and make it easy to call, book or ask for a quote, at any hour.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who will I actually work with?
The founder, directly, with no account managers or handoffs. The person you talk to does the work. If a project needs a specialist, we will tell you who it is before they start.
How long have you been in business, and can I see your work?
Capital Growth Studio started in 2024. We show real work, not mockups. Ask on the call, and we will walk you through projects we have built.
Do you require long-term contracts?
No. You start with one fixed-price project. Local marketing plans run month to month. After a first project, some monthly plans have a 6-month term, and you see the term in writing before you agree.
Who owns the website, ad accounts and data?
You do, 100%, from day one: your domain, website files, Google Ads and Business Profile accounts, and analytics. If we part ways, you keep everything, and we hand over every login and file within 5 business days.
