Aspen gets searched every month of the year
Your next customers find you on Google before they get to town: planning a ski week, booking a summer dinner, or looking for someone to take care of a second home. They search in April as well as December, and every search ends in a call or a booking for one of the businesses Google shows first.

They pick from the first names they see
Someone booking a room from another state can't stroll past your front door and compare. A second-home owner who needs a builder or a property manager is in the same spot. They choose from the businesses Google puts in front of them, and the call or the booking goes to one of those.
Customers with no bill per click
Ads can put you on that list too, but you pay each time someone clicks, and the calls stop the day you stop paying. A page Google already shows near the top keeps bringing people in month after month, and nobody sends you a bill when they click it.
What the work actually is
What we fix, what we build, and where you show up
You hear an SEO pitch most weeks. Ours comes down to three jobs on your website and your Google listing, and each one is there to bring in more calls and bookings.
Fix what stops Google reading your site
Slow pages, pages Google can't find, a site that breaks on a phone. Any one of them can keep you out of the results, or send a would-be guest straight back to the next name on the list.
What you get A site that loads fast, works on any phone, and that Google can read from front to back.
Build the pages people actually search for
People type what they need and where: a caterer in Basalt, a gallery in Aspen, a property manager in Snowmass Village. So we build one page for each thing you sell and each town you really serve, from Aspen down to Carbondale.
What you get A page of your own at the end of each of those searches, where a competitor's would have been.
- Carbondale caterer carbondale
- Basalt caterer basalt
- Snowmass Village caterer snowmass village
- Woody Creek caterer woody creek
- Aspen caterer aspen
Get you into Google Maps and keep the listing right
Your listing is the entry that shows up in Google Maps, with your hours, phone number and directions. We set it up or straighten it out, then keep it current all year, offseason hours included, so nobody drives to a locked door.
What you get People who find you on the map can call, book or walk in, and they turn up when you're open.
The longer version lives on our SEO service page.
How long it takes
Weeks for some searches, months for the crowded ones
You want to know when the calls start. It depends on the search. Some respond within weeks of the work going in. The ones every Aspen business wants take longer, and you should hear that before you sign anything.
Weeks
What can move quickly
- Your own business name, so people who already know of you land on you first
- A Google Maps listing that was wrong or missing, once it's put right
- A narrow search few others chase, like one service in one smaller town
Months
What takes steady work
The crowded searches, where every hotel, restaurant or broker in town wants the same few spots at the top of Google. Those take months of building and fixing. Nobody can promise you a position on them, and we won't.
Start in a quiet month, be ready for the busy one
Searches here dip in the offseason, then climb again. Work done during a dip is already in place when the next season's searches climb.

SEO company, Aspen, CO · The price
What it costs to be found in Aspen
It's the first thing every owner asks, so here it is up front.
$1,500 to $5,000
a month, set by how much work your business needs
What moves your number
-
How much you sell, and where
A single restaurant in town needs fewer pages than a property manager covering Aspen, Snowmass Village and Basalt. Each thing you sell and each town you serve gets a page of its own.
-
How crowded your searches are
A narrow search that few businesses chase takes less work than one like “aspen hotels”, where every competitor in town wants the same few spots.
-
How much of your site needs work
If Google can already read your site, more of the effort goes into new pages. If it's slow or breaks on a phone, that gets fixed first.
One fixed plan, yours to read before you agree to anything
Before any money changes hands, you get it on paper:
- What we'll do
- The fixes, the pages and the Google Maps listing work, spelled out.
- What it costs
- One monthly figure from inside that range, written down.
- How long you commit
- Agreed with you and written into the plan, so you know exactly how long you're in before you say yes.
- The searches we go after
- Named one by one, so you can type them into Google yourself and watch.
We commit to the work in the plan. Nobody can promise you a spot on Google, and we won't.
30 minutes on Google Meet
Who you'd be working with
Meet the two people who'd do the work
Bullfinch is two people, Kyle Rutten and Katie Rutten. We're not in Aspen. We're in Colorado, and the two of us do the work ourselves, so the people you meet on the first call are the ones working on your business.
-
The same clock as Aspen
We work on Mountain Time, so a 9 a.m. call is 9 a.m. for both of us.
-
Google Meet and shared documents
We talk on Google Meet. The plan and the work sit in shared documents you can open whenever you like.
-
Nobody in between
No account manager passing messages along. Your questions go straight to Kyle or Katie.

Why hire a local SEO company in Aspen, CO that isn't in Aspen?
Because none of the work happens at your front door. It happens on your website and your Google listing, which we reach the same way from anywhere. We're in Colorado, on Mountain Time, the same clock as Aspen, and every call runs on Google Meet, where we share the screen and show you exactly what changed.
-
Most of my customers don't live here. Does this still matter?
Yes, often more. Google shows Aspen businesses to anyone who searches for Aspen, wherever they are: a family in Texas planning a ski week, or a second-home owner in New York who needs the house ready before the holidays. Those are exactly the people your pages and your listing are built to reach.
-
Do we pay through the offseason?
Yes, for as long as the plan runs. The plan you read before signing sets the term and the work for each month, so nothing about the quiet months comes as a surprise. The dips are when the slow work gets done, like new pages and site fixes, so it's already in place when searches climb again.
-
Do I need a new website first?
Usually not. Most sites can be put right where they stand: faster pages, pages Google can find, a layout that works on a phone. If your site is what's holding you back, the plan says so before you sign, and our web design page shows what a rebuild involves.
-
Can you promise the top spot?
No. Only Google decides the order it shows businesses in. What you get from us is the work, in writing: the fixes, the pages and the exact searches we're after, so you can type them into Google whenever you like and check for yourself.
Something else on your mind? Bring it to the call.
SEO company, Aspen, CO · The next step
Thirty minutes to see where you stand
Pick a time on the calendar and we'll meet for 30 minutes on Google Meet. Bring your website and whatever questions are still on your mind.
What we look at together
- What people type into Google when they want what you sell in Aspen
- Where your business shows up for those searches today, in the results and on Google Maps
- What a plan would take to put you in front of more of those people
If you want to go further, the written plan and price follow the call, so you can read every line before deciding anything.
Why sooner beats later
The next climb in searches is never far off, and the crowded searches take months of work. The sooner it starts, the more of it is done by the time people come looking.
