Why Choose The Real Social Company
Two decades in Columbus, 200+ businesses served, and a 4.9-star Google rating. We build fast websites, include the search work most agencies bill separately, and price it so a small business can actually say yes.
What Actually Makes Us Different
Here Since 2002
We have watched three eras of search come and go from the same city. That is a long track record to check, and we invite you to check it.
Search Is Not an Upsell
SEO, AEO, GEO, schema, and accessibility are built into every site we ship. Most shops build the site, then quote you again to make it findable.
Speed as a Standard
Server-rendered React on edge hosting, no plugin bloat, and Core Web Vitals measured before launch — not promised and never checked.
Two Prices, Published
Website Design at $300 setup + $100/month, or Website + Growth at $300/month. The same numbers appear on every page of this site.
You Own Your Website
Your domain, your content, your build. Locked-in pricing and no hostage situations if you decide to move on.
Real Local Proof
49 Google reviews at 4.9 stars, plus published client results you can read before you ever call us.

What Working With Us Looks Like
- Step 1
A Real Conversation
Twenty minutes on the phone or in person. We ask about your customers and your numbers, not your favorite shade of blue.
- Step 2
A Written Scope
You see the page list, the timeline, and the price before anything gets built. No moving targets.
- Step 3
Build and Review
You review the site on a staging link and give notes before it ever touches your live domain.
- Step 4
Launch and Grow
After launch we keep the site healthy and, on the Growth plan, keep publishing and optimizing every month.
Simple, Fixed Pricing
Two plans. No setup surprises, no per-hour billing, no long-term contract.

$300 setup + $100/month
Up to 10 pages, hosting, security, and ongoing website care. You own your website.
Website + Growth
$300/month
Everything in the website plan plus SEO, AEO, GEO, blogging, and monthly reporting.
Questions About Working With Us
How long have you been in business?
The Real Social Company has been serving Columbus, Ohio since 2002. Our history page walks through how the company evolved from early web work into AI-era search.
How many clients have you worked with?
200+ businesses, concentrated in Columbus and central Ohio, across med spas, medical practices, wellness clinics, trades, and professional services.
What does it cost?
Two plans only: Website Design at $300 setup plus $100/month, or Website + Growth at $300/month with SEO, AEO, GEO, blogging, and reporting included. Those are the only price points we publish because they are the only ones we charge.
Do you work with businesses outside Columbus?
Yes. Columbus and central Ohio are our home market, and we also serve clients in other metros. The work is the same; the local research changes.
What if I already have a website?
We audit what you have and tell you honestly whether it should be refreshed, migrated, or rebuilt. Sometimes the right answer is the cheapest one.
Are you a WordPress agency?
We support WordPress when a client needs it, but we recommend and build React sites by default: faster, no plugin maintenance, and far easier for AI crawlers to read.
