About

We do one thing: get local businesses more customers.

Rhody Websites is a line of business of Own The Box Marketing LLC, alongside Rhody Reviews and the Rhody Showcase. Three lines, one job: turning a stranger searching on their phone into a paying customer.

Getting more customers is a three-legged stool

Being seen isn’t the goal. Being chosen is. Take any leg away and the customer looks at you, hesitates, and calls somebody else — which is the single most common reason a business spends money on marketing and sees nothing come back.

Leg one
A website that makes the decision easy
Five pages that answer every question a customer has in the twenty seconds before they reach out: what you do, what it costs, your credentials, and how soon you can see them.
Without it: they find you, look you up, see nothing that settles the doubt, and go with the next name on the list.
Leg two
A Google profile that gets you shortlisted
The right category, every service listed, the full service area, and the attributes people filter on — free estimates, emergency service, open now. This is where most new customers start.
Without it: you never make the shortlist. Three businesses get shown above everything else, and the customer picks from those three.
Leg three
Reviews that make the choice for them
Every customer automatically gets asked how it went, by text and email. Reviews are the last thing somebody reads before they reach out, and the thing that decides between you and the business down the street.
Without it: you lose customers to competitors with more reviews and worse service, and there’s no argument you can make against it.
Every plan includes all three, because two out of three doesn't win the customer. That's the whole idea: not a website with marketing bolted on, but the complete stool, assembled and maintained.

Why the website is free

For years the standard deal was: charge five thousand dollars up front, hand over a login, and disappear. Two years later the site is stale, the phone number on it’s wrong, and Google has quietly stopped showing that business to anyone.

The website was never the problem. Nobody wakes up wanting to buy a website. They want more customers.

So we stopped selling websites. We build the site at no charge and get paid for the work that brings in customers: the Google profile, the reviews, and pages that reach every town you drive to.

That changes who carries the risk. Charge five thousand up front and we get paid whether it worked or not. Give the site away and bill every 4 weeks, and we keep a client only as long as the customers do. We'd rather be on that side of it.

It also means we're selective. We only take on businesses where we're confident this will work. A client who isn't getting customers doesn't stay one, and that's bad for both of us.

The arrangement
You get the website free. $997 to start, then $597 every 4 weeks, 364 days / 13 payments. We get paid to keep customers coming in. If they stop, you stop paying and we lose a client. Our incentive and yours point the same direction.

Steve Johnson

Founder, Own The Box Marketing LLC · North Kingstown, RI

I like local businesses. The ones where the owner still answers the phone, knows the regulars by name, and does the work themselves. I have watched too many get sold marketing that looked impressive and produced nothing they could point to.

That's the whole reason this exists. Every dollar should trace back to something that happened: a call, a booking, a new patient, somebody through the door. Anything that can't be traced to a result doesn't get sold here.

It's a small shop, and it's run like one. Straight answers, and work you can trace to a result.

How we work, so there are no surprises

You text us. That’s the whole system.
No dashboard, no login, no ticket number. Send the change you want and you get a text back when it’s live.
The urgent stuff never waits in line.
Hours, a closure, a phone number, an emergency notice: done within 24 hours on any plan, and it never uses up a change request.
Your domain is in your name.
Registered on your own card from day one, so it’s never held by anyone else.
We’ll tell you no.
If something you want will hurt your ranking or annoy your customers, we’ll say so and explain why. You can still overrule us. It’s your business.
We won’t guarantee a ranking.
Nobody can. Anyone who does is lying to you. What we guarantee is the work, and that you see the numbers every four weeks whether they’re good or bad.
No fake reviews, ever.
Not written, not bought, not hidden. It gets a listing suspended, and there’s no business left after that happens.
