What I do

Three ways to grow your studio

Flat prices, and no retainer waiting at the end of any of them. Which one you want comes down to whether the thing holding you back is the site itself or the search presence underneath it.

Not sure? The free audit further down will tell you, and it doesn't ask for your email.

Pick the one that fits

Full Build

The Full Bloom

You're opening, rebranding, or your site is beyond saving.


A new website and the entire local search presence underneath it, built from nothing. The whole job in one go, so there's nothing left to patch later.

  • A brand new website, built for you
  • Mobile-first, booking-ready design
  • On-page SEO & keyword targeting
  • Schema markup & code injection
  • Google Business Profile optimization
  • Google Search Console setup
  • Directory listings & citation building

Site Upgrade

Most popular

The Refresh

You like your site. It just isn't bringing anyone in.


Your site gets a real upgrade. Better design, stronger local SEO, and better performance on Google.

  • Light redesign of your existing site
  • Mobile-first, booking-ready design
  • On-page SEO & keyword targeting
  • Schema markup & code injection
  • Google Business Profile optimization
  • Google Search Console setup
  • Directory listings & citation building

SEO Only

The SEO Tune-Up

The site's fine. Google just doesn't know you exist.


Already have a site you like? Then we leave it alone and fix the reason nobody nearby is finding it.

  • On-page SEO & keyword targeting
  • Schema markup & code injection
  • Title tags, meta descriptions & headings
  • Internal linking structure
  • Google Business Profile optimization
  • Google Search Console setup
  • Directory listings & citation building

Those are the whole prices. There's no setup fee, no hosting markup and nothing that turns into a monthly bill later. If your project needs something outside one of these, I'll quote it before I start it, not after.

After the site goes live

The work doesn't stop at handover

Most of the industry disappears the day the site goes live, which is also the day you stop being able to tell whether any of it worked. So I take the numbers before I start, take them again after, and then keep sending them to you every month.

  1. Before I touch anything

    A baseline, on the record

    I measure every page for speed and technical health, and pull your existing Google Search Console history. It goes into a written baseline so there's a fixed 'before' to hold the work against later. Nobody has to take my word for whether things improved.

    • Baseline report
    • Full site crawl
    • Speed scores, every page
  2. When the work ships

    Two guides that make it yours

    You get the same measurements taken again, side by side with the baseline, and two written guides. The care guide is how to run and edit the site yourself. The design guide is your palette, your type and where each colour belongs, so your Instagram, your printed menu and your signage can match the site without guessing at hex codes.

    • Website care guide
    • Website design guide
    • Completion report, before and after
    • Keyword strategy, from your real search data
  3. Every month after that

    A report that keeps arriving

    I keep pulling your Search Console data each month and send you a plain-English report: what people searched, where you turned up, what moved, and what I'm watching next. It's included with your build, there's no retainer, nothing auto-renews, and it carries on after the project is finished.

    • Monthly performance report
    • Priority searches, scored
    • Included, not a subscription

Not a promise for later: every studio I've delivered is on this already, and Sculpt by Rind has 17 months of month-by-month Search Console history behind it.

How the work goes

Five steps, and the fourth is the one that matters

Steps one to three are what you'd expect from anyone building a site. The fourth is the one that decides whether you turn up in local search, and it's mostly careful setup rather than anything clever.

  • 01

    I Learn the Business Before I Open a Design Tool


    Which treatment actually pays the rent, which one you'd rather stop offering, who walks in on a Tuesday. Without that I'm just decorating.

  • 02

    I Find the Searches That End in a Booking


    Not the ones with the biggest numbers. “facials” is a research search; “facials near me open sunday” is someone with their card out. I build for the second kind.

  • 03

    Everything Points at One Button


    Most studio sites make a ready-to-book visitor take four or five taps to get there. Every one of those loses people who'd already decided. So I count the taps, then get rid of the ones I can.

  • 04

    The Boring Half Most People Skip


    Structured data, a claimed Google Business Profile, your address written the same way everywhere it shows up. It's tedious, it's most of what decides local ranking, and it's usually where I find the biggest gaps.

  • 05

    You Own All of It


    Your account, your domain, your content, plus written guides for running it yourself. Nothing stops working if we part ways, and there's nothing to cancel. If you ever want to take it elsewhere, you can, without asking me for anything.

Before you ask

The questions I always get

If yours isn't here, just ask. I'd rather answer it now than have you wondering.

Do you only work with studios in San Diego?

No. Most of my clients are here and it's home, but the work is remote and local search doesn't behave differently in Sarasota than it does in North Park. The genuinely local part is knowing the ground: which neighborhoods people actually search by, who you're really up against, what a treatment goes for in your market. So for a city I don't know, learning it is the first thing I do, not something I skip.

It's just me, and I'm brand new. Am I too small for this?

You're who I built this for. A new esthetician with one room is the person most likely to be told to wait until she's bigger, or to be signed onto a monthly retainer that eats the profit before there's any. Neither is good advice. You need the fundamentals done properly once, and then to be left alone to run your business. That's exactly what I sell.

How long does a project take?

Two to four weeks for most builds, depending on how quickly copy and photos come back to me. The SEO Tune-Up is usually about a week. I only take a couple of projects at a time, so you're never waiting behind a queue.

Do I own the website afterwards?

Completely. It's your Squarespace account, your domain, your content. There's no retainer, no license, and nothing stops working if we part ways. If you ever want to move on, or hand it to somebody else, everything is already in your name and the care guide says where all of it lives. You shouldn't have to ask permission to leave.

What happens after you hand it over?

You get a walkthrough and two written guides. The care guide covers running and editing the site yourself. The design guide is your palette and type, with hex codes and where each colour belongs, so your Instagram, printed menus and signage can match the site without anyone guessing. You also get a performance report from me each month showing what people searched and where you turned up. Most clients never need to ask me for anything beyond that, which is the point.

Is the monthly report really included, or is it a subscription in disguise?

It's included, and nothing auto-renews. I pull your Google Search Console data at the start of each month and write up what actually happened: the searches you appeared for, where you ranked, what moved, and what I'm watching next. I built the tooling once and it runs across every client, so it costs me very little to keep sending. There's no retainer and no card on file, and you aren't signing up for anything to receive it.

Can you work with my existing booking system?

Yes. Squarespace accepts most booking widgets, and where a system doesn't offer one I can embed or link it directly instead. The goal is always fewer taps between landing on your site and having an appointment booked.

How soon will I see results in Google?

Technical fixes register within days. Real ranking movement usually takes six to twelve weeks, and local competition affects that. Anyone promising page one in a fortnight is either guessing or lying. You'll have your own Search Console login from day one, so you can watch it happen yourself rather than take my word for it.

Why is this so much cheaper than an agency?

Because it's me, and the price only has to cover the work. There's no office, no account manager, no sales team, and no monthly retainer quietly funding all of that. I also built the reporting and audit tooling once and it runs across every client at the same time, so the parts that usually get billed by the hour cost me very little to repeat. That's what lets me do this properly at a price a one-room studio can say yes to.
