Web design, local SEO and Google Ads in DC, Maryland and Virginia
Capital Growth Studio offers three services for established service businesses in DC, Maryland and Virginia. We build websites that turn visitors into calls, run local SEO to get you into Google Maps results, and manage Google Ads when you need leads sooner. You work with the founder, you own every account and file, and ongoing work runs month to month.
Which service do I need?
Start with the problem you have now, not the service name.
- If people search for what you do and you are not in the map results, start with local SEO.
- If you need calls this month and can fund ad spend, start with Google Ads.
- If people find you but do not call or book, start with your website.
- If most of your work comes from referrals and bid invitations, you probably need a credible website more than ads. See websites for established firms below.
Most businesses use more than one service. On the free call, we will tell you which to start with and which you can skip.
Web design
Fast, mobile-first websites that make it easy to call, book or ask for a quote. You own the domain and the code, with an optional monthly care plan for hosting and updates.

Google Ads
Search ads and Local Services Ads, run in an account in your name. You see every dollar Google charges.
How we manage Google Ads →Websites for established family businesses
Commercial contractors and builders usually win work through referrals, bid lists and long relationships, not ads. Before a property manager or building owner adds you to a vendor list, they look you up.
We redesign websites for multi-generation businesses so the site matches the company: your project portfolio, licenses and certifications, leadership, and a clear way to request a bid. It is a one-time project, scoped and quoted after a free 15-minute call, with an optional monthly care plan after launch.
How we work
- The person on your call does the work. Capital Growth Studio is founder-led, with no account managers or handoffs.
- You own everything we set up: domain, website files, Google Ads account, Google Business Profile and analytics. If we part ways, it all stays with you.
- Local SEO and Google Ads run month to month. Website projects are one-time, with a written quote before work starts.
- Each month you receive a short report on what we did, what it cost and what it produced.
- We focus on businesses in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia.
What do I pay for?
Our fee depends on the services you choose. You receive a fixed price in writing before any work starts, and every fee is in that quote.
Our fee covers
- The work: planning, design, setup, building and changes.
- Hosting and your domain.
- A monthly report, if you have a monthly plan.
You pay directly
- Google Ads spend. Google bills it to your card, apart from our fee.
- Software you already use, such as your accounting or scheduling tool. It stays in your own account.
Projects have one fixed price. Monthly plans are billed each month.
What we do not do
We do not manage social media accounts, run email marketing, write blog posts for clients, design logos or brand identities, produce video, or handle print. If you need one of these services, we will refer you to a specialist.
Questions about our services
Do I need all three services?
No. Many businesses start with one. If your website is missing or outdated, that usually comes first, because ads and local SEO both send people to it. If your site works and you need calls soon, Google Ads can start on its own. We will recommend an order on the free call, including any service you can skip.
Do you require a long-term contract?
No. Local SEO and Google Ads management run month to month. Website projects are one-time engagements with a written scope and quote before work starts.
Who owns the website and the accounts?
You do, from day one. Your domain, website files, Google Ads account, Google Business Profile and analytics are set up in your name or transferred to you. If you stop working with us, you keep all of it.
How much do your services cost?
It depends on the services you choose. After a free 15-minute call, you receive a fixed price in writing before any work starts. Our fee includes hosting and your domain. Google bills any ad spend to your card directly, apart from our fee.
Do you work with businesses outside DC, Maryland and Virginia?
Yes. We focus on Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia, but we also work with businesses outside the region.
