Who we are

A small team, building real websites.

Automaton is a small team building websites for local service businesses. We're based at the University of Pennsylvania. We build your site first, show it to you, and only charge if you want to keep it. That's it.

Why it matters

What a website actually does for your business

You're already good at what you do. A website makes sure the right people find you, trust you, and call you — instead of your competitor.

More calls and leads

When someone searches "plumber near me" and finds your site with a click-to-call button, you get the job. Without a site, that call goes to the competitor who does have one.

Instant trust and credibility

81% of people research a business online before calling. A professional website with reviews, credentials, and photos tells them you're legitimate and worth hiring.

Show up when people search

Google ranks businesses with websites higher than those without. A site with the right keywords and your service area means you appear when local customers are looking.

Beat competitors who look more professional

If two plumbers are equally good but one has a clean website with reviews and the other just has a phone number, the customer picks the professional-looking one every time.

A place to send all your traffic

Google Business, Facebook, Instagram, yard signs, truck wraps — they all need somewhere to send people. A website is your home base that converts visitors into calls.

Get business 24/7 — even when you can't answer

Your website works while you sleep, while you're on a job, while you're at dinner. A contact form captures leads at 11pm that you follow up on in the morning.

FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

A fully custom website designed for your specific trade and service area. That includes a mobile-responsive layout, click-to-call buttons, a contact form, SEO-optimized copy, Google Maps integration, SSL certificate, and hosting setup. We also set up your Google Business Profile link. Unlimited pre-launch revisions until you approve it.
No. It's $299 one-time. Hosting, SSL certificate, uptime monitoring, and basic support are included with the site. If you need text or image updates later, reach out and we'll handle those for you.
Most sites are designed and ready for review within 12–24 hours of you completing the survey. Once you approve the design (or we make your requested changes), it goes live the same day. The whole process from survey to live site is typically under 48 hours.
After we build your site, you get a preview link to review it. Request changes to text, images, colors, layout, or anything else — no limit before launch. We don't charge the $299 until you approve the preview. Once your site is live, basic edits are still included — just email or text what you want changed.
Yes. You own all the content — your business info, copy, photos, and branding. The website is built on our platform for hosting and management, but your content is always yours. If you cancel, we can export your content or point your domain elsewhere.
Yes. Every site includes proper meta tags, structured data (schema markup), mobile optimization, fast load times, and content written for local search terms like "[your trade] in [your city]." We also link your site to your Google Business Profile so you show up better in Maps and local results.
Local service businesses — plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, roofers, painters, landscapers, pest control, cleaning companies, contractors, locksmiths, restoration companies, and more. If you serve customers in a specific area and want more calls, this is built for you.
Absolutely. If you already own a domain (like yourbusiness.com), we'll connect your new site to it. We handle the DNS setup so you don't have to worry about the technical side. If you don't have a domain yet, we can help you get one.
Yes, 100%. Every site is designed mobile-first. Over 70% of local service searches happen on phones, so your site is built to look perfect and load fast on any device — phone, tablet, or desktop. Click-to-call buttons work natively on mobile.
We only charge the $299 after you've seen your preview and told us you want it live. If you don't want it, you don't pay. Once the site is live and paid for, your content is always yours — we can export it or help you transition to another provider if you ever want to move.
