Causory

Based in San Diego, Causory works with home service businesses and trades across the United States, offering a subscription-based alternative to traditional web design projects. The agency's model, called Website as a Service, pairs a one-time setup fee for a custom-designed website with an ongoing flat $200/month Website Care Plan covering hosting, security, and support, aimed at avoiding the common pattern of sites that go stale after launch. Services include custom website design built around conversion rather than appearance alone, with service-area pages, quote forms, and trust signals tailored to trades businesses. Hosting comes with SSL and daily backups, and SEO is built into the package through on-page foundations, Google Business Profile setup, and more advanced SEO on higher-tier plans. An AI chatbot option is available, configured on a client's actual services, pricing, and FAQs to answer visitor questions outside business hours and capture leads for handoff to the client's team; this is included at no extra cost on the Authority plan. The stated process begins with a discovery phase to identify what the business and its customers need from the site, followed by design and launch within two to four weeks. After launch, the monthly plan covers content changes, technical support, security patches, SEO content, and reporting on an ongoing basis. Causory also lists AI consulting and AI development among its declared service areas.
