Hiring M. Curtis McCoy’s team starts at $2,500 for setup and $3,500 a month. That covers a new website or a full rebuild, hosting, server administration, SEO, AEO, content and link building. No contract. No page limits. No separate hosting bill.
Plus a one-time $2,500 setup, so your first month is $6,000. Priced per website.
If one new client is worth more than $3,500 to your business, one new client a month pays for everything. It costs less than hiring separate agencies because there are no account managers or sales staff, and we run our own servers and tools.
No contract. Month to month: you stop paying, we stop working. We just ask for 30 days’ notice so your website, hosting and files hand off cleanly.
M. Curtis McCoy is a web design, SEO and AEO expert based in Fruita, Colorado. He built his first website in 1995, three years before Google existed, and he leads every project his team takes on.
He meets Western Slope clients in person and works with established businesses nationwide. His team built and ranks Pencil Log Pros, and our server administrator has worked with him since 2006.

Every web designer sells SEO. Few can rank their own website. Web design agencies have hired M. Curtis McCoy to rank theirs. Before you hire anyone for SEO, search for their business, then ask for a Search Console screenshot from one of their clients.

There is no page limit in our website management services. Our team writes and publishes professional SEO and AEO content regularly, because a steady stream of useful pages and articles is one of the strongest signals Google and AI assistants use to decide who to recommend.
If a web designer quotes you a specific number of pages, run. A five-page quote is a quote for a website that stops growing the day it launches.
Your website runs on a high-end, multi-processor server with high bandwidth and memory, managed by a server administrator who has worked with M. Curtis McCoy since 2006. You don’t get this level of hosting without a server administrator.
This is not the low-cost shared hosting sold for a few dollars a month, where your site shares a server with many others and nobody is watching it. The comparison below shows what each option really costs.

You never manage a vendor list. M. Curtis McCoy manages the project and stays your point of contact the whole way.
Most new ideas fit inside your website management services. Additional pages, articles and many custom tools are included. When you ask for something new, it takes the place of the work planned for that block, and the planned work moves to the next open slot. You choose what matters most.
Want the new project and the original timeline? We add a work block. For a project much larger than we agreed on, or one that needs rush delivery or more hands, we may bring in additional specialists. You see the scope, timeline and investment in writing before any of that work starts.
“If I get hit by a bus tomorrow, your website keeps running.” Trained specialists are already in place to take over, so your website never depends on one person.
Hiring M. Curtis McCoy’s team starts at $2,500 for setup and $3,500 a month per website, so your first month is $6,000. The monthly investment covers hosting, server administration, 24/7/365 monitoring, updates, SEO, AEO, content creation, link building and outreach.
Yes. Your site runs on a managed high-performance server with a server administrator, at no added hosting charge. You stop paying a separate hosting company.
There is no page limit. Additional pages and articles are included, and professional SEO and AEO content is written and published regularly because it is one of the strongest ranking signals. Larger projects, like a custom tool or software for your business, are often included too. You decide whether a new project runs alongside your monthly work or replaces some of it.
No. You pay month to month: you stop paying, we stop working. We ask for 30 days’ notice so your website, hosting and files hand off cleanly. Payments are made by automatic bank transfer on the first business day of each month.
You give 30 days’ notice and you stop paying. You keep your domain and the public-facing pages, copy, images and content created for your website, and we hand off the files so another host can run it.
You hire the Assertive Holdings, LLC team, led by M. Curtis McCoy, as an independent contractor. You pay Assertive Holdings, LLC, and M. Curtis McCoy manages your project and is your point of contact by phone, text, email or video call.
No. A staff copywriter earns a median $76,910 a year and a server administrator earns $99,130, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Together that is about $14,670 a month in salary before taxes and benefits. Website management services from M. Curtis McCoy include both, from $3,500 a month.
Yes. You own your domain and the public-facing pages, copy, images and content created for your site once your account is paid. Internal systems, templates, server infrastructure and software licenses stay with the team.
A website without ongoing SEO and AEO rarely brings in customers. M. Curtis McCoy won’t put his name on a good-looking site that nobody finds, so every build comes with ongoing management.
Work outside your website: paid ads management, social media management and video production. Third-party subscriptions specific to your business, such as MLS/IDX listing feeds, are paid to that provider directly. Additional pages, articles and most custom tools are included.
No honest provider can. Google and AI assistants change constantly. What M. Curtis McCoy controls is the work: depth, structure, authority and speed that compound month after month.
Expect compounding gains over the first 12 to 18 months, then continued growth. Technical fixes and new pages often show movement sooner.
