I design, build & grow the web.

Custom websites I build, host and look after. Web apps that automate the boring parts of your business. Marketing that makes the phone ring. One person. The whole stack. From napkin sketch to page one of Google.

Point of contact. Me.
(01) — What I do

One person. Every service.

I’m Chris Arock. No hand-offs, no account managers, no "let me check with the developer." The person you talk to is the person who builds it, hosts it, and picks up when something needs fixing.

(02) — Apps

I don't just build for clients. I ship my own products.

Five live web apps — free to try, and designed, coded, hosted and marketed end to end by me. Same process, same obsession with detail. That's exactly what you get when I build yours.

(03) — App making

Got an idea? It's an app now.

If you're doing it by hand, it can probably run itself. I build custom web apps that automate the repetitive work, connect the tools you already use, and grow with you — or turn your idea into a product people pay for.

(04) — Digital marketing

Get found. Get clicked. Get talked about.

Most agencies sell you one channel. I run a three-front campaign — SEO, Google Ads and guerrilla — built around the same story, measured by the same number: customers.

01 · SEOGet found
#1Your Business — Exactly what they searchedyour-business.com · ★★★★★ · Open now
#2Your competitorcompetitor.com
#3Some directory listingdirectory.com

Rank where buyers are already looking.

Technical SEO baked into the build, content that answers real questions, and local SEO that puts you on the map — literally.

  • Technical & on-page SEO
  • Google Business Profile & local pack
  • Content that ranks and converts
02 · Google AdsGet clicked
ConversionsCost per lead

Pay for customers, not clicks.

Tight keyword targeting, landing pages built to convert, and relentless pruning of anything that burns budget without bringing leads.

  • Search, Performance Max & local
  • Conversion tracking that's actually right
  • Weekly optimization, monthly reports

#TOLDYOUSO

Ideas too loud to scroll past.

Street-level stunts, sticker drops, QR treasure hunts, local partnerships and social hooks that make people talk — for a fraction of an ad budget.

  • Street & sticker campaigns
  • QR stunts & scavenger hunts
  • Local partnerships & PR hooks

SEO compounds. Ads accelerate. Guerrilla ignites. Run all three with one playbook and you stop competing — you just win.
