Who's searching
A town of 2,607 that Google searches like a city
Telluride is small. The crowd searching Google for it isn't. In July 2026, telluride hotels was searched more than twice for every person in town.
Most of those searchers aren't here yet. They're planning a trip on a phone and picking from the handful of names Google Maps and the search results put in front of them. Then there are locals and second-home owners looking for a builder, a cleaner or a property manager.
Those searches end in a booking or a call, for whichever business shows up.

What changes on your site and in Google Maps
No mystery bill. Three jobs, each one something you can see on your own site or Google listing, and each one there to bring in bookings and calls.
-
Clear what keeps Google from reading your site
A site that's slow to open, pages Google never finds, a layout that breaks on a phone. Trips get planned on phones, so these come first.
Google can show your pages, and a visitor on a phone can book without giving up.
-
Build the pages people search for
A page for every service or product you sell, in the words people type. Then pages for the places visitors use, like Mountain Village, where you really serve them.
You show up when someone searches for what you sell, not only for your name.
-
Get you into Google Maps and keep the listing right
Plenty of Telluride businesses cut hours or close between seasons. We keep the hours on your listing in step with yours.
Nobody drives to a locked door, and nobody skips you once you've reopened.

Some searches move in weeks
Your own business name. A Google Maps listing that's been put right. A narrow search few others chase.
The competitive ones take months
The searches every restaurant, lodge and shop in town wants. Nobody can honestly promise you a date for those.
So the quiet months do the work
New pages, site fixes and your Maps listing get done in a quiet stretch, so they're in place when the next busy season's searches arrive. The competitive searches can take longer than one season.
The price
$1,500 to $5,000 a month, and why it isn't one number
What moves it
One monthly fee, set by how much work your business needs. Three things decide where you land.
- How many things you sell, and where
- Nearer $1,500: A few, in one town
- Nearer $5,000: Many, in several places
- How crowded those searches are
- Nearer $1,500: Few others chasing them
- Nearer $5,000: Half the town wants them
- How much of your site needs work
- Nearer $1,500: A few fixes
- Nearer $5,000: Lots to fix or build

Still wondering
Mud season, small towns and other fair questions
What's usually left once you know the price and who would do the work.
Telluride is small. Is there enough searching to pay for this?
Your customers mostly aren't from here. They're visitors searching from home before a trip, and there are far more of them than there are locals.
Whether that's enough for what you sell is a fair thing to check, so on the call we look up the numbers for your business before you decide anything.
We close or slow down in mud season. Do we pay through it?
You'll know before you sign. The written plan sets the term and lists what gets done each month, the quiet ones included.
Those are the weeks for the jobs that take longest, like new pages and site fixes, so they're in place when visitors come back.
Do I need a new website before any of this?
Usually not. Most of the work happens on the site you already have.
If your site is what's holding you back, the plan says so plainly. We also do web design for Telluride businesses.
Can you promise us the top spot on Google?
No. Google decides the order, not us. What you can hold us to is the work written into your plan, month by month.
