What a new website should do for your business
Your site won’t be my first. Since 2016 I’ve delivered 154 Upwork jobs for more than 100 clients, and 94 of them were WordPress and Divi websites: new builds, redesigns and rebuilds for NewtonX, Keller Williams Realty Consultants, the Institute of Reading Development, the World Food Travel Association, Website HQ and Arlene P., among others. Every one is listed on my Upwork profile.

Who’s searching in South Lyon, and what they want to see
The 2020 census counted 11,746 people in the city of South Lyon. That number undersells the market. South Lyon Community Schools covers about 83 square miles, reaching into Oakland, Washtenaw and Livingston counties and parts of Lyon, Green Oak and Salem townships. When someone in the district searches “plumber near me” or “pizza South Lyon,” they are a customer you can reach.
The catch is competition. South Lyon sits in the southwest corner of Oakland County, 36 miles from downtown Detroit, with Novi, Wixom, Milford, Brighton and Northville all within a short drive. Businesses in those towns run ads and build pages aimed at your customers. Your site has to give Google a clear reason to show you first for searches that start in South Lyon.
Who’s searching depends on the business:
- Downtown on Pontiac Trail. Restaurants, bars and shops along the downtown stretch of Pontiac Trail live on Google Maps traffic. Diners decide on their phone. Your hours, menu and a working “directions” link need to load fast and match your Google Business Profile exactly.
- Contractors and home services. Roofers, landscapers, HVAC companies and remodelers here compete with crews from every neighboring town for the same jobs. A page for each service, real photos of finished work and a short quote form do more than a generic homepage ever will.
- Family businesses. Daycares, tutors, dance studios, youth sports and pediatric practices draw from the school district. Parents compare two or three options side by side. A site that answers their first questions (ages, schedules, pricing, location) gets the call.
Two things about South Lyon that change how I build
What does "SEO built in" mean on a South Lyon site?
A nice-looking site that nobody finds won’t bring in calls. With Novi and Brighton businesses chasing the same searches, the SEO work has to happen at the same time as the design, not as an add-on after launch.
So every South Lyon site I build includes the local basics from day one:
- Page titles and headings that say what you do and that you’re in South Lyon
- A separate page for each service you want to rank for
- Your Google Business Profile set up to match the site’s name, address, phone number and service list
- Schema markup that tells Google your business type, address and service area
- Pages that load fast on a phone, tested with Google’s own tools before launch
If you already have a site and only want the SEO side, see my Michigan SEO services. If your Maps listing needs work first, Google Business Profile optimization is $400 one-time.
Which local details should my site use?
Generic copy gets ignored. Small local references tell a customer you’re here, and tell Google the same thing. A few that fit South Lyon:
- McHattie Park and the Witch’s Hat Depot. The 15-acre park on the west side of Pontiac Trail holds the Witch’s Hat Depot Museum and Historic Village, built around the 1909 Queen Anne depot that gives it the name. If your business is nearby, say so. “Two blocks from McHattie Park” is a landmark locals know.
- The township names. Parts of Lyon, Green Oak and Salem townships sit inside the South Lyon school district. If you serve them, list them by name next to the city, because a homeowner in Green Oak won’t find a page that only says South Lyon unless Google has been given a reason to connect the two.
- Road names people use. Directions written with Pontiac Trail, 9 Mile and 10 Mile mean more to a local than a map pin, and they tell a visitor coming from Novi which turn to take.

Who you'd work with
The web designer and local SEO consultant you'll actually talk to
I'm Ryan York, and WebPossible is a one-person web design and SEO company in Harrison Township, Macomb County. I learned the work as a scuba diver in the Florida Keys, tired of waiting on the person who ran our website, which is why I think about the phone ringing first and the design second. There's no team to hand you off to. The person who answers your first call is the person who designs your website, builds it and checks your rankings.

Kara D.
I hired Ryan to help improve the SEO of my business website and he has been so easy to work with from the time I submitted my inquiry through the finishing touches. He is extremely responsive, organized in his approach, and thoughtful in his execution. I had many questions that I threw at Ryan, and he was able to answer them all, which made me feel really good about the entire process. Since the initial work started, I have added on more page updates because I am already seeing positive results. I look forward to continuing to work with Ryan and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to other business owners that I know!

FAQ
Questions from South Lyon business owners
You're in Macomb County. Why hire you for a South Lyon site?
South Lyon is a little over an hour's drive from my office in Harrison Township, and all of my projects run by phone, video call and email anyway. What matters more is that I know how search works across Oakland County, where you're competing with businesses in Novi, Wixom and Brighton for the same customers.
Do you do SEO for South Lyon businesses, or only websites?
Both. Every site I build ships with the local SEO basics in place. If you want ongoing work after launch, my local SEO starts at $2,000 a month, month to month with no lock-in.
My customers come from Lyon Township, Green Oak and Salem too. Can my site cover them?
Yes, as long as you actually serve those areas. I'll build a page for each service and mention the townships you work in, so Google can match you to searches from people who live outside the city limits.
What does a website cost for a small South Lyon business?
My sites start at $2,500. A five-page site for a service business sits close to that. More pages, copywriting, booking or a store push it up. You get a fixed written quote before I start.
