The Good Work Giveaway

Win a website as good as your work.

For the holidays, we’re picking one trade or home-service business and giving it a new website plus six months of our Google Maps, SEO and GEO work (getting found on Google and in ChatGPT answers), free. It’s worth about $7,500.

Entries are open Nov 4 to Nov 10. It takes about ten minutes, and Cole Mays, who runs Byword, reads every one.

Built from your own job photos and your answers to our questions.

A page for each service you do
Forms that reach your phone
A review system that asks after every job
Five extra SEO pages at launch, each written for a search people in your town make

Six months of our monthly work

Your Google profile set up right and kept right, with your job photos posted to it every week
A review request after every job
A reply to every review in your voice
A new page on your site each month for a job you want more of, so you show up in Google search and in ChatGPT answers (that’s the SEO and GEO)

Yours to keep

Your site, domain and Google profile stay yours, whether the monthly keeps going or not.

Worth about $7,500: the $3,500 website, $1,000 for the five extra SEO pages, and six months at $500.

Why free? We want our next case study to be a trade business that does good work and is hard to find.

What to know before you enter.

How we pick: Cole scores every complete entry on three things, and the highest score wins. Nothing is drawn at random. See how we score
Who can enter: Trade and home-service businesses in the U.S. open at least a year. Not current or past clients of Byword Studio or Neuma Creative.
Your time if you win: A call to start, then quite a few questions about your business and your jobs, since that’s what we write your site from, and your best photos of your work. Then about ten minutes a month: tap “job done” on your phone and send a few photos.
After the six months: The monthly only keeps going if you say yes, month to month at our regular price, which is $500 a month today. If you stop, we move your site into an account in your name and show you how to make changes to it with ChatGPT or Claude.
Not included: Ad spend, printing, photography, a new logo, and custom extras like booking that works with your job software.
Taxes: Ask your tax person how a prize like this is treated for your business before you accept.
Who’s behind it: Byword Studio is part of Neuma Creative, the brand studio Cole runs from Kona, Hawaii. Call or text him at (808) 480-4863.
