What We Do

Three things, done properly.

When someone is looking for a business like yours, being easy to find and easy to understand matters. A better website, a stronger Google presence or simply having the right information in the right place can help turn that search into an enquiry, a booking or a visit.

Most businesses we audit have real gains available from Google Business Profile work alone.

Need something else? We can probably help.

Websites and Google are often just the starting point. Once we've looked at your business, there may be other opportunities worth tackling — from SEO and analytics to booking systems, lead capture, automation, reviews or better business processes. We don't believe in selling businesses a pile of tools they don't need. We'll recommend what's actually useful and help you figure out the best way forward.

Thoughtful design. Real businesses.

$67 could be all it takes to uncover an opportunity worth far more.

A missed Google search, an outdated website, an unclear call to action or a poor first impression could be costing you opportunities you never knew you were missing. Our audit is designed to find those opportunities and show you what's actually worth fixing — before you spend money fixing anything.

Why Steady Drift Studio

We're not an agency.
We work like one of your team.

We work with few clients on purpose.

Most agencies spread thin across dozens of clients. We deliberately limit how many businesses we take on so that yours gets real attention — not a template and a monthly report nobody reads.

We measure success in bookings, not traffic.

Vanity metrics are easy to produce and hard to explain to your accountant. We care about the number of customers through the door, the number of bookings in your calendar, and the revenue in your account.

We stay engaged long after launch.

Most agencies disappear the day a project goes live. We don't. Digital presence is ongoing work — and the businesses that win online are the ones with a partner who's still paying attention six months later.

Our Process

From first conversation to measurable growth.

  1. Discover

    Understanding your business first.

    A thorough call to learn who you are, who your customers are and what's in the way. We listen before we suggest.

  2. Design

    Strategy before aesthetics.

    We map what you need, and in what order, then design sites, profiles and systems that speak to your customers.

  3. Build

    Precision execution, no shortcuts.

    Professional standards and clear milestones, with you involved throughout. No surprises, no disappearing.

  4. Optimise

    Launch is just the beginning.

    We check how things perform and refine what isn't working, so it keeps improving after launch.

  5. Grow

    Build on what's working.

    Once the foundations are solid, we'll honestly tell you if SEO, automation or a booking system is worth exploring. Nothing you don't need.

Questions

The things people usually ask first.

More answers — Google Business Profile optimisation, SEO, automation and booking systems — are on the Services page

Do you only do websites?

No — three things, done properly: the Digital Presence Audit, website design & build, and Google Business Profile optimisation. Most businesses we audit have real gains available from GBP work alone, before a website rebuild ever comes into it. We start with research, identify what's actually worth fixing, and go from there.

What if I only need one thing?

Completely fine. Start with the $67 audit — it'll tell you exactly which one thing would have the most impact. We scope work clearly, charge for what's actually needed, and don't push anything you don't require. If all you need is GBP work, that's all we'll do.

What does the $67 audit actually include?

A written review of your Google Business Profile, website performance, local search visibility, and review health — delivered within 2 business days as a clear, prioritised action plan. No sales call, no obligation, and a full refund if you don't find it useful.

How long does a project take?

The audit is delivered within 2 business days. Website projects typically go live in 2–4 weeks. Google Business Profile optimisation takes 3–5 days. We're always specific about timelines upfront — no vague "a few weeks" answers.

Do I need a website if I have Instagram?

Yes. Instagram is rented space — the algorithm changes, reach can vanish, and it doesn't appear in Google searches. A website is permanent, owned, and works 24/7 without you needing to post every day. Instagram complements a website. It doesn't replace one.

Get in Touch

Let's talk about your business.

No pitch. No pressure. Just an honest conversation about where you are and where you want to be. If there's a fit, great. If not, we'll tell you that too.
