Website care, website projects and local visibility for owner-run service businesses
Nobody's watching your website. I will.
I look after your website every month, and repair or rebuild it when it needs more, at a price agreed first. One person does the work.
- Care from $149 a month (not open yet)
- Websites from $995
- Short commitments
- The listingIs the phone number the same as on your website, and does tap-to-call work?
- The hoursThe listing says open Saturday. The website says closed. Which is right?
- The website and its formDoes a message sent from a phone actually reach your inbox?
Three ways to work with me
Ongoing care, a one-off project, or a free look first. Prices are published; larger work is quoted first.
-
Care plans
Your site works, but nobody's watching it.
Hosting, updates, backups and a monthly test of your form and phone links, with a summary by email. Local Visibility adds your Google Business Profile.
From$149/month
-
Website projects
Your site is broken, abandoned by whoever built it, or too old to keep.
A rescue for one broken thing from $349, a three-page starter site from $995, a five-page business site from $2,495, or extra work by the hour against a cap.

Free website check
You're not sure what's wrong, or whether anything is.
One page on what a customer sees: the form, the phone links, and whether your Google listing agrees with your site.
Free
Your website shouldn't be another job you have to manage.
Right now, usually nobody checks these until a customer mentions it. On a plan, each one becomes my job, done on a schedule and reported in the monthly summary.
| The job | With nobody on it | With Barbagallo Digital |
|---|---|---|
| Contact form | Broken until a customer complains. | Tested monthly with a tagged message traced to your inbox. |
| Phone links | A wrong number or a dead link sits for months. | Tested monthly on the pages customers use. |
| Updates | Years out of date, or applied blind. | Applied after a backup, then the site checked. |
| Backups | Nobody's sure one exists. | Regular, kept off the server, with a restore test at setup. |
| Hosting and uptime | Nobody has the login. Customers notice downtime first. | Managed hosting, with uptime monitoring. |
| Google Business ProfileLocal Visibility | Hours changed in one place and not the others. | Agreed fields maintained, and an agreed set of listings checked. |
Also on both plans: up to 30 minutes a month of small changes you send me, and a monthly summary of the work by email. Local Visibility adds technical search work and one existing page improved each month. Full scope on Services.
When the site itself is the problem, I fix it or rebuild it.
The price is agreed in writing before work starts, and you own the result.

Start with a free check of your site.
Send your website address. I check it from the outside, the way a customer would use it, and send you one page.
You send the address
A website address and an email to reply to. Nothing else.
I check it from the outside
The form on a phone, the phone links, and whether your Google listing agrees with your site. No login needed, and a test message only with your permission.
You get a one-page report
Within two business days of receiving what I need
What I observed, what needs confirming, and what I couldn't test. If nothing's wrong, it says so.
Website and contact-path check
Barbagallo DigitalOne page
- Observed
The form fails on a phone
With the owner's permission, a test message was sent from a phone. It showed an error instead of a confirmation.
- Needs confirming
Two different phone numbers
Google and the website show different numbers. One may be a tracking number on purpose.
- Not tested
After-hours calls
Where calls go after hours. That needs a test call you approve.
- First step
Trace the form to your inbox
If a repair is needed, the scope and the price are agreed before work starts.
