About ChegTech
A one-person web design and SEO agency in Auburn, WA, building custom sites for small businesses across the Seattle area.
What ChegTech is.
ChegTech is a one-person web design and SEO agency based in Auburn, Washington, serving small businesses across the Seattle area and the broader Pacific Northwest. I founded it in June 2025 to give local service businesses a third option between a stale template site they can't update and a $15,000 agency build they shouldn't have to pay for.
Every site I ship is custom-built — no WordPress, no Squarespace, no Wix. The distinguishing claim is the one I'm willing to put numbers behind: I build sites to actually rank. Pinnacle Air Control, an HVAC company in South Hill, went from an average Google rank of 70 to 9 in four months after I rebuilt theirs.
What ChegTech does.
Six core services, all delivered by the same person.
Web design
Custom websites built from scratch — no templates, no page builders. Designed around your actual business and shipped on a clean, fast tech stack you'll own outright. Most service-business builds start at $2,000 flat.
Service detailsWebsite redesign
Rebuilds for sites that aren't ranking or converting. I keep what's working, fix what isn't, and ship on the same modern stack as a from-scratch build. Most redesigns launch in 2–3 weeks.
Service detailsSEO & AEO optimization
Local SEO and Answer Engine Optimization for the places customers actually search — Google, Google AI Overview, ChatGPT, Perplexity. Schema, content, Google Business Profile, and the structural work that compounds month over month.
Service detailsMonthly content
SEO-driven articles written for your business and your customers. Topic research, writing, schema, and publishing — handled monthly without you needing to think about it.
Service detailsHosting & maintenance
Managed hosting, daily backups, security monitoring, and ongoing edits. $150/mo, month-to-month, no contracts. You still own the site — cancel any month and walk away with everything.
Service detailsGoogle Ads
Campaign management for Greater Seattle service businesses. Real conversions tracked back to real leads — not vanity clicks. Ad spend paid separately to Google.
Service detailsLocal service businesses across the Puget Sound.
Service businesses already winning on the ground — losing ground online to bigger or older competitors with worse websites. I'm the third option between a stale template and a $15k agency build.

Background in software engineering, B.S. in Computer Science from Bellevue College, and enough miles on real projects to know what's worth doing and what isn't.
