Web studio for local business

You have foresight when you use ForgeSite.

Most of your customers already check online before they call, visit, or buy. ForgeSite builds the website that meets them there — so the business you've already built stops losing ground to the one down the street that shows up first.

Why This Matters

the case for a website

70–81%

of consumers say they research a business online before they ever call, visit, or buy — across the surveys that track this, the number rarely dips below 70%.

Aggregated from multiple consumer research surveys, 2025–2026

~75%

of people judge whether a business is credible partly by the quality of its website — before they've spoken to anyone.

Stanford Web Credibility Research

20–35%

of referred customers — people already told to use you by name — quietly drop off at the "let me just check them out first" step if there's nothing to find.

Consumer research cited by Google on local business discovery

~40%

more revenue, roughly, is reported by small businesses with a website compared to similar-sized businesses without one, in industry analysis of the segment.

Widely cited in web-industry research (Verisign-linked analysis)

These figures come from industry surveys and market research rather than a single controlled study, and estimates vary by source — treat them as directional, not exact. The consistent thread across all of them: going unfound online costs real customers, and the gap is easy to close.
