A website that looks like 2014
Slow, dated, hard to book from. It makes premium care look cheap. Sends ready-to-buy patients and members to the competitor next door.
Taiga rebuilds your website, brand, and Google presence. Then keeps you ranking on Google, the map pack, and AI search every month. Starting at $2,500. Live in 2–4 weeks.
◦ 15 MINUTES · YOU KEEP THE AUDIT EITHER WAY
Taiga is a web design, brand, and local SEO studio for health practices and gyms. Named for 大河 (big river) and the boreal forest that never goes dormant, Taiga rebuilds brick-and-mortar businesses' web presence, then compounds it month over month.
One Rebuild ($2,500) resets the foundation: brand, website, and local SEO in one project, delivered in 2–4 weeks. A monthly retainer ($199–$999) then keeps the site ranking on Google, appearing in AI search recommendations, and converting visitors into booked appointments.
Taiga serves chiropractors, dentists, physical therapists, med spas, CrossFit gyms, yoga studios, and boutique fitness businesses across the United States. Every client gets a site built to earn trust in five seconds and to rank on the searches that bring them in.
Slow, dated, hard to book from. It makes premium care look cheap. Sends ready-to-buy patients and members to the competitor next door.
Someone nearby searches "chiropractor near me" or asks ChatGPT for the best gym in town. You don't come up. The map pack doesn't know you exist.
Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity all pull from the same signals — reviews, website authority, local relevance. Taiga builds both, so you rank in traditional search and get cited by AI.
From discovery call to live site in 2–4 weeks. Then it keeps running.
15-minute speed audit. We pull up your site and local search live, name what's leaking, and scope the fix.
Brand guide in week one. Functioning site on a private cloud link by week two.
Back and forth until it's right. Most clients go live within the two-to-four-week window.
Monthly retainer keeps your site compounding. Geo content, GBP management, terrain reports, and AI-search signals. Never go dormant.
Every step runs on a fixed schedule. You always know what's next and what's yours to approve.
15-minute speed audit. We pull up your site and local search rankings live and walk you through the three things costing you patients or members right now. No deck, no pitch. Just the audit. You keep it either way.
If it's a fit, you put down $1,250 to start. That's 50% of the Rebuild. The remaining $1,250 is due when the site launches. No long contracts, no full payment upfront.
A full brand guide lands in your inbox: logo direction, color system, typography, voice, and a deep audit of your current site with specific recommendations. We walk through it together, take your feedback, and lock in the direction before any code is written.
A working version of your new site is live on a private cloud link. Every page is clickable. The booking flow works. Local SEO structure and AI-search markup are already baked in. You can share it with your team and give notes before anything goes public.
We go back and forth. You give feedback, revisions ship fast, usually within a day. Most clients are live inside the two-to-four-week window. During this period we scope your monthly retainer based on how aggressively you want to compound.
Monthly retainer keeps the site compounding. Credits go toward geo-targeted content, revisions, and landing pages. Active Google Business Profile management, rank tracking, and a monthly terrain report. Search rewards consistency — we stay consistent so you don't have to think about it.
We audit what you have, define your brand, ship a site built to book, and plant you on the local map. Including the AI search your competitors haven't heard of yet.

Chiropractors, dentists, med spas, PT clinics. Premium care trapped behind dated websites. They sell trust. The site earns it in 5 seconds.
CrossFit boxes, yoga studios, boutique fitness. Community-driven, membership-based. They sell energy. The site has to feel like walking in.
Salons, barbershops, wellness storefronts. Appointment-driven, review-dependent, living or dying on "near me" searches.
Born in Japan, raised in Missoula, Montana. I started my first business at fifteen and spent the next decade building startups, co-founding a mentorship platform for founders and investors, and learning — from the inside — what separates the businesses that compound from the ones that stall.
Taiga exists because great local practices and gyms routinely lose patients and members to worse competitors who simply rank first. You get one person, fully responsible, from the audit to launch and every month after. No account manager between you and the work.
We'd been meaning to update our site for two years and never got around to it. Taiga got it done in under three weeks — and not just done, done right. Every revision came back the same day I asked for it. The new site actually reflects what Bloom is: a modern, trusted practice. Our online appointment requests from search went up within the first month. I wish I'd done this sooner.
Founding rate — price increases after more clients.
Search compounds. Pick the pace that fits your business right now.
Most owners don't know their ranking gap is leaking $1,500–4,000 a month. Run your numbers.
Most owners we talk to have already spent $10,000–$20,000 on a site that didn't move the needle. Taiga isn't cheaper because we do less. It's $2,500 because there's no 12-person team billing you for account management meetings.
What you were buying from an agency was overhead. A project manager relaying messages. A designer who hands off to a developer who hands off to an SEO contractor who sends a quarterly report you can't read.
Taiga is one person, fully responsible, start to finish. You talk to whoever is doing the work. Not an account rep. Brand guide in week one. Working site on a cloud link by week two. If it's not right, we fix it. That's the whole model.
◦ Taiga vs. the market — what else costs this much (or more)
A professional website rebuild with brand and local SEO runs $2,500 with Taiga. Then from $199/month to keep you ranking. Comparable agency work runs $8,000–$20,000 for the website alone, with brand and SEO billed separately.
Most clients are live in 2–4 weeks. Brand guide is ready by the end of week one. A working site is on a private cloud link by week two. Revisions and launch happen from there.
If it's a fit, you put down $1,250 to kick off. That's 50% of the Rebuild. The remaining $1,250 is due when the site launches. Week one is the brand guide. Week two is a working site on a cloud link. We go from there.
GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization. When someone asks ChatGPT or Google AI for "the best chiropractor in town," those tools cite pages that answer questions directly with clean structure. Taiga builds your site that way from day one. You become the recommendation, not your competitor.
Every Rebuild includes Google Business Profile setup and optimization, map-pack positioning, "near me" keyword targeting, location schema markup, and geo-targeted content structure. Growth clients also get active GBP management, a review-generation system, and monthly rank tracking.
One credit equals one geo blog post or one revision. Credits are used one at a time as you need them. Unused credits roll over one month — so if you don't use December's credit, it carries into January. They don't stack beyond that, which keeps the retainer sustainable on both sides. Need something outside your plan? One-off credits are $199 each — which makes even Roots obviously better math if you need anything regularly.
Roots ($199/month) is the floor — 1 credit plus hosting and basic GBP upkeep. It keeps you from going fully dark and is the natural downgrade path if you ever need to pull back. Steady ($499/month) is 3 credits: one post or revision per week, roughly, with GBP upkeep included — the natural fit for most chiro and dental practices. Growth ($999/month) is 8 credits plus active GBP management, a review-generation system, rank tracking, and a monthly terrain report. Eight credits is more than most clients ever use in a month — it feels unlimited without the liability of actually being unlimited.
No. Monthly plans are month-to-month with 30 days' notice. The Rebuild is $1,250 to start and $1,250 at launch. No ongoing commitment required, though most clients stay on retainer because it's where the compounding happens.
Yes — the Taiga Site Template is $500 one time. It includes the complete HTML/CSS site system, the LocalBusiness JSON-LD schema Taiga wires into every client build, FAQ structure pre-formatted for AI citation, and a 40-item Google Business Profile checklist. You own the files forever, no subscription. If you later decide you want the full Rebuild, the $500 credits toward it — so it's never wasted. See everything at taigalocal.com/template.
Terrain Monitoring is a $99/month stand-alone subscription — no delivery work, no contract. Every month you get a report covering: 5 keyword rankings, map pack position, AI citation status (whether your business is named when someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, or Google AI for the best in your city), GBP calls, review count, and one plain-English sentence on what moved. It's the audit's second option — for owners who want to stay informed before they're ready to commit to a full rebuild. It's also the natural downgrade path if a retainer client needs to pause. And practically speaking: no rank tracker on the market checks your AI citation status. That check alone is worth the price.
A terrain report is the monthly performance summary included with Growth retainer clients and standalone Terrain Monitoring subscribers: keyword rankings, map pack position, AI citation status, GBP calls, and review count — plus one sentence on what changed and what's next. It shows you exactly where you stand so nothing surprises you.
No. Taiga works with health practices and gyms across the United States, fully remote. The speed audit is a video call. Brand work, site builds, and monthly retainer deliverables happen asynchronously with fast turnarounds. Most clients never need an in-person meeting — and many prefer it that way.
Very little at the start. The audit requires 15 minutes of your time and your current website URL. If we move forward with the Rebuild, you'll fill out a short intake form, share any existing brand assets, and join one brand call in week one. After that, Taiga handles the rest — you review, approve, and launch.
Send a chiropractor, gym, dentist, or studio our way. If they become a client, you get 20% of whatever they pay — $500 on a rebuild, up to $200/mo on a retainer. No cap, no expiry. You just send a name.
We'll audit your site and local search presence live and name the three things costing you patients or members right now. If it's not a fit, the findings are yours. Free.
