What we do
The process
We learn your business, your goals, and who you're up against. Then we build a plan for your market specifically.
Design, development, SEO, and ads come from one team working one plan. Nothing gets lost in a handoff between agencies.
Launch day is the start. We track results, run tests, and keep improving the site and campaigns month after month.
Who we serve
Pick the one that sounds like you.
Sounds like you?
“I need a professional online presence that actually brings in customers.”
Word of mouth got you this far, but more of your customers are looking for you online. We build a site that works around the clock and turns visitors into calls and bookings.
Sounds like you?
“We're getting traffic but nobody's buying. We need conversions.”
Traffic doesn't pay the bills. Sales do. We audit your funnel, fix your product pages, and run Google Shopping campaigns aimed at people who are ready to buy.
Sounds like you?
“Our ad spend is out of control. We need efficiency and real ROI.”
You're spending thousands on Google Ads and can't point to the return. We take over the account, rebuild the campaigns, and send you a clear report every month.
About
Gooden Design Co. builds websites, runs SEO, and manages Google Ads for businesses in Michigan, Texas, and across the US.
We write real code instead of using drag-and-drop page builders, and we handle SEO and Google Ads ourselves. Design, development, and marketing come from one team working one plan, so your site is built to bring in business from day one.
Over 20 years we've shipped more than 200 projects, for everyone from heavy civil contractors and engineering firms to a SaaS product and a township government.
Real results
Gooden Design completely transformed our online presence. We went from page 5 to ranking #2 for our main keyword in just 4 months — and our Google Ads now deliver a 4× ROAS.
I was skeptical about SEO, but 6 months in with Gooden Design and organic traffic is up 280%. The transparency and communication alone made it worth it. Best investment I've made.
Our website was collecting dust until Gooden Design rebuilt it. Now it's our #1 lead source. The conversion optimization paid for itself in month two. Game-changer.
