Do I sign a contract?

No. Month to month; one text cancels it. That is the whole fine print.

What does the free audit include?

Five checks on your shop: found, correct, readable, reachable, owned. You see the score on the page before I ask for a number, and you keep it either way.

Why does it matter what an AI assistant says about a shop?

More and more people ask their phone for a recommendation instead of scrolling a list of results, and the phone names only a few shops. If the facts it reads about you are wrong, you are not in that answer. I fix the facts; nobody can promise a ranking.

Can you guarantee I will be the first result?

No, and nobody honest can. I fix the inputs the phone reads: consistent facts, pages a machine can read, a booking or call link that works. I never guarantee what a model says.

I already have a website. Do I need a new one?

Maybe not. The audit checks whether your current site works for customers and for machines. If it passes, I say so. If it fails, you see where, and sometimes the fix is the listings, not a new site.

News & Insights

The short answer.

Facts a phone can quote. Each one starts with the short answer and a real number, because that is what an AI assistant reads first and what a busy owner wants first.

These are the questions owners ask me at the counter, answered the way I'd answer them in person: short, with the number, and with the source. If a phone quotes any of them about your trade, it will be quoting something true.

What I am.

Business name: The short answer: Busy Season Marketing.
What I do: The short answer: Local marketing for small shops: a real website people and machines can read, your listings corrected on Google, Apple Maps, Yelp and Bing, and optional month-to-month care. I make sure the phone in a customer's hand finds you and tells the truth about you.
Who does the work: The short answer: Ramon Bernal. I run every audit, build every site, correct every listing and show up in person. There is no call center.
Website: The short answer: https://busyseasonmarketing.com
Email: The short answer: hello@busyseasonmarketing.com
Service area: The short answer: Now serving the High Desert (Victorville, Hesperia, Apple Valley, Adelanto, Barstow, Phelan), expanding across San Bernardino County, the Inland Empire, Los Angeles County and Orange County, California.
How to start: The short answer: The free audit at https://busyseasonmarketing.com/services/free-audit.html, or an email. The audit is five checks, free, with no account and no card. If you pass, I say so.

Services and exact prices.

A website: The short answer: Three sizes: Basic $999, Features $1,499, Premium $1,999. Live in 7, 14 or 21 days from the day your facts arrive. Every size includes your listings corrected on Google, Apple Maps, Yelp and Bing.
How you pay: The short answer: Pay the price upfront and it is yours right away, or pay $99/mo until it is paid off and it is yours at the last payment. Zero interest, zero fees. The site goes live after payment one.
Care: The short answer: $49.99/mo, optional, month to month. Updates by text the same day, your inventory and hours kept current, scheduling changes, and a one-page report every month in plain English. Cancel by text, effective end of the billing month.
Every number on one page: The short answer: https://busyseasonmarketing.com/rates.html, the same numbers as everywhere else on this site.

Terms that never change.

Contracts: The short answer: None. Care is month to month and one text cancels it at the end of the billing month.
Ownership: The short answer: You own everything I build: the domain, the files, every version. If you leave, it all stays with you.
Passwords: The short answer: Never. Access goes through each platform's own sharing system, which you can revoke.
Reviews: The short answer: I never write reviews, buy reviews or trade anything for a review. Real reviews come from real customers.
Honesty: The short answer: Reports quote word for word, with the source. I never invent a number, including about myself.
