Our Story

Where We Started

AIM Squad began in 2018 with a problem we kept seeing in our own neighborhoods: good businesses closing, not because the work was bad, but because they had no way to reach customers online.

The mom-and-pop shops we’d grown up around were losing to competitors with worse products and better visibility. One of them was a restaurant we’d been going to for years. The owners told us sales had fallen far enough that they weren’t sure they’d make it through the year.

So we built them a real website, produced a promotional video, set up their social channels, and put genuine offers in front of the people most likely to act on them. It worked. That restaurant has three locations today.

That project defined the company. A website built specifically for one business, designed around how its customers actually make decisions — not a brochure that sat there looking finished. Everything AIM Squad does still starts there.

Where We Are Now

AIM Squad is a full-service web design and digital marketing agency headquartered in Whittier, California. We’ve designed and launched more than 600 websites since 2018 for startups, entrepreneurs, and small to mid-sized businesses across the United States and abroad.

Web design and development remain our core discipline — the thing we’ve done longest and do best. Most of our work is fully custom, built from scratch around a specific business and how its customers make decisions. For businesses that aren’t there yet, we also offer express builds on proven frameworks, so a newer or budget-conscious company can launch something fast and professional now and grow into a custom build later. What doesn’t change between the two is the thinking: the structure, the copy, and the conversion strategy are built for that business either way.

Everything else we offer exists to protect and extend that work — development, hosting, maintenance, SEO, Local SEO, Google Ads, ecommerce, brand and logo design, and AI search visibility — all under one roof, all handled by the same team that built the site.

The name reflects how we operate. AIM stands for Achieving Internet Marketing. The Squad is about working as a single unit toward one goal, rather than as departments passing a project between them.

How We Work

We learn the business before we design anything. What you sell, who buys it, what closes the deal, what your competitors are getting away with. A weak brief sinks more websites than a weak designer ever has.

Built for the business, not from a mold. Whether it’s a full custom build or an express launch, the structure, the copy, and the imagery are yours. No stock photography standing in for your actual work, and no layout you’ll recognize on a competitor’s site.

We design around behavior, not preference. Where attention lands, what earns trust in the first few seconds, what makes someone call instead of leaving. Those are answerable questions, and we treat them as the substance of the work rather than a matter of taste.

The details are the work. Load speed, heading structure, the wording on a button, how a form behaves on a phone. None of it shows up in a screenshot. All of it shows up in whether the site brings in customers.

One team, one goal. “Squad” isn’t decoration in the name. Design, development, SEO, and advertising work as a single unit on your account rather than as separate departments handing a project back and forth.

Straightforward about what we’re doing and why. No jargon standing in for a strategy, no reporting you need a translator for. You should be able to tell whether the work is producing results without taking our word for it.

Who We Work With

Small and mid-sized businesses that depend on their website for real revenue. Roofing and home services. Medical and wellness clinics. Restaurants, caterers, and food businesses. Ecommerce brands. Professional practices, startups, and entrepreneurs.

Some are third-generation family businesses that have never had a website that worked. Some are specialists competing against national companies with far bigger budgets. Some are just getting started and need to look established from day one. What they share is that the website isn’t decoration to them — it’s where the customer decides.

Where We Are

We’re headquartered in Whittier, California, and we design and manage websites for clients throughout the United States and internationally. Most of our work runs remotely, which is how we’re able to take on the right projects regardless of where they are.

Being rooted here still matters. We know the Los Angeles and Orange County markets and what it takes to compete in them, and that experience shapes how we approach local search for every client we have — whether they’re down the street or three time zones away.

Our Mission

Empower Small Businesses, Transform Lives

Most small business owners don't need more marketing advice. They need the phone to ring. We build the website, the search visibility, and the systems underneath — then stay on to keep them working. Since 2018 we've done it more than 600 times, and when the work comes in, everything else gets easier.

Our Vision

To eradicate the internet of ineffective, unprofitable websites

Too much of the web is decoration: sites that look fine and do nothing. We think every small business deserves one that pays for itself — found in search, clear to a first-time visitor, honest about what it costs. One rebuilt site at a time, that's the internet we're working toward.

Answers to Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know I'll be a satisfied customer?

Our track record: 600+ launched websites since 2018, long-term client relationships, and reviews from real business owners you can read on this page.

What's the difference between SEO and Local SEO?

SEO is about ranking in general search results anywhere in the country. Local SEO is about ranking in the Map Pack and local results for people searching near your business — think Google Business Profile optimization, citations, and reviews. Most brick-and-mortar businesses need both, weighted toward Local SEO first.

Do you only work with businesses in Southern California?

Not at all. We’re headquartered in Whittier, CA, and we serve clients across the entire U.S. — meetings happen over Zoom, and every project gets the same process no matter the zip code.

How much will it cost to design and develop my website?

Pricing varies based on your project requirements and goals. After a discovery call, we’ll provide a detailed proposal with a total fixed price — no hourly surprises, no surprise billing.

How long will my website take?

Most projects take 4–8 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on complexity and revision rounds.

Do I have to pay in full, or can I do installments?

We require a 50% deposit to get started; the remaining 50% is due at project completion. We accept electronic payment via invoice — all major credit and debit cards.

Will I be able to edit my website after you build it?

Yes, of course. We record a personal training video showing you how to edit your site and navigate your site. Prefer hands-off? Our monthly care plans handle edits for you.

Am I stuck with you forever for updates?

No — you’ll have full control and full ownership of your website, hosting, and data. Our maintenance plans are optional and month-to-month. We keep clients by performing, not by locking them in.
