For the person asked to look into us
If someone forwarded you our email and asked you to check us out, this page is for you. It answers what a careful buyer checks before taking a call: who we are, who we work for, what you get, and how it starts.

The short version
The Clay Media designs, builds and runs websites, Google Ads and SEO for companies that need their website to bring in business, not just sit there. Chris Clay founded the agency in 2009 and still runs it.
We do not ask you to buy anything to find out whether we are any good. We design a new homepage for your company first, free. Your team judges the work, then decides.
Who we work with
Manufacturers and contractors
Steel fabricators, building-automation firms and trades companies, where the website has to win quote requests from serious buyers.
Multi-location and local businesses
Auto service, retail, restaurants and professional practices that need calls, bookings and Google Ads that pay for themselves.

We manage and improve it every month
One team handles design, Google Ads and SEO, so when something is not working there is one place accountable for it, not three vendors pointing at each other.
Questions your team will ask
What does it cost?
It depends on what the site has to do and what we manage afterward. We scope it in writing after the free homepage design, so you see the work before you see a number. For typical market ranges, read our 2026 website cost guide.
Can you work with our compliance, legal or IT review?
Yes. We manage websites for a Nasdaq-listed company and have built HIPAA-compliant work, so review cycles and sign-offs are normal for us.
Who actually does the work?
Our in-house team designs, builds and manages your site, ads and SEO, led by the founder. You are not handed off to a freelancer you never meet.
What if we already have an agency or a site we like?
Then the free homepage design costs you nothing to compare. If ours is not better, keep what you have.
How long does the free design take?
