The digital arm of businesses built the hard way.

Presence Pulse runs strategy, custom web, AI search, advertising, and lead systems for companies that earned their reputation in the real world. When a buyer researches you, everything they find works in your favor.

The presence behind Rykman Realty, Atlantis Pools & Spas, Pro Araiza Painting, and General Energy Corporation.

Strategy, site, search, ads, and systems.
One partner, not five vendors.

Six lanes, run together. Every card goes deeper on the services page.

01

Strategy & Positioning

The read before anything gets built.
Buyer research, competitive mapping, offer structure, and the decision journey, mapped before a pixel moves. The plan comes from the questions your buyers actually ask.
For owners who want a partner that thinks past the homepage.
02

Custom Web Design & Build

Hand-built sites that carry a reputation.
Designed from zero for your brand and your buyer. Hand-built in Next.js, deployed on Vercel, and owned by you from day one. No templates, no page builders, no lock-in.
For businesses whose site should be their best sales call.
03

AI Search & Answer Content

Built to be the source AI engines cite.
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews answer buyer questions directly now. We research what your buyers ask, then publish structured, sourced answers built to be cited, with your name on them.
For brands whose buyers research before they reach out.
04

Google Ads & Paid Search

Senior paid search, sharpened with AI.
Senior Google Ads management and high-level account consulting, run with AI-driven query mining and testing. Every click lands on a page built to convert it.
For businesses already paying for clicks that deserve better landing pages.
05

Lead Systems & AI Automation

Every lead answered in minutes, not Mondays.
With our partners at Mass Market AI, we wire the rails behind the site: instant lead routing, follow-up that never forgets, AI assistants trained on your real knowledge, and a CRM your team actually uses.
For teams tired of leads going cold in an inbox.
06

Client & Proposal Experiences

Proposals your clients click through, not PDFs they skim.
Web-native proposal pages and project dashboards for high-ticket work: scope, visuals, plain-language numbers, and credentials in one branded link your client can share.
For businesses closing five and six figure projects.
Who we work with

Where the proof runs deepest.

We work with businesses whose buyers research before they reach out, whatever the industry. These are the rooms where we have already built.

Real Estate

A brand that holds at every price point.

Brokerages, teams, and top producers. We launch and rebuild real estate brands with the presence to match the operator: custom builds, property search experiences, selling systems told properly, and follow-up that answers in minutes. Built right for the top of your market, it carries everywhere below.

Luxury Outdoor Living

Presence that sells like the work deserves.

Pool builders, design-build studios, and premium contractors. Six-figure backyards get researched for months before anyone calls. We build the digital showroom that carries a luxury studio through that research: real projects, real credentials, and answers to the questions buyers are already asking.

Manufacturing

The story of the operation, told right.

Family-owned and specialty manufacturers. The site is not a lead machine here. It is the pride of the operation made visible, and a working resource for the people you already serve: customers find answers in real time, your team stops repeating itself, and what still needs a person arrives ready. More personal service, not less.

Home Services

Direct, fast, and built to book work.

Roofing, painting, lawn, and the established trades. Sites that load fast, answer the questions that win the job, and route every lead to your phone while the competition is still checking voicemail.

Why we exist

Most agencies sell activity.

Hours. Meetings. Vague SEO retainers.

Your buyer does not care how busy the agency was.

They care who answered the question first.

That is the work: publish the answer, prove the authority, and make the next step obvious.

The audit is a real promise.
Not a sales call in disguise.

Most agencies ask you to imagine the outcome from a slide deck. When you get my audit, you get real query research (Perplexity, SimilarWeb, the full nine) stacked against the top five competitors in your market. Want to name your own five? We'll run those too.

Then we build an example new homepage, plus three key pages, in your brand, so you can see the fix instead of imagining it. The audit earns the strategy conversation. The tailoring happens after we talk.


Then we make the source easy to find and cite.

The way customers find businesses is changing. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews now answer serious buyer questions directly. They need clear entities, structured pages, and useful answers to cite.

We build the site so your best expertise is legible to people, Google, and answer engines. The same architecture supports organic search, local visibility, paid landing pages, and sales conversations.

01
Query research
Full research on what your buyers are actually asking, on Google and in AI search, plus where the current site is losing them.
02
Competitor stack-up
Your site measured against the top five competitors in your market, or the five you name yourself.
03
Example pages
A new homepage plus three key pages, built in your brand, so you can see the fix, not imagine it.
04
Strategy conversation
We walk through the audit together and tailor the build to your sales motion, your team, and your buyers.

Presence Pulse is not selling marketing motion for its own sake.

01

Named deliverables, not hours

Every engagement has work you can point at: shipped pages, published guides, citation checks, campaign improvements, proposal experiences, and clear next actions. Hours are not the product.
02

Strategy first, design in service of it

The site is the visible part of a sales system. Research, positioning, proof, and buyer questions decide the structure before a color or animation gets touched.
03

Credibility surfaced, never invented

We do not manufacture authority. We surface the reputation, proof, craft, and operational advantage the business has already earned, then make it easier for buyers and answer engines to understand.
The practical difference: we build the path from buyer question to qualified conversation, then make sure the question gets answered with your name.

Founder / Strategy / AEO / Web
Built by Drew Mays,
operator first, designer second.

Real estate sales first. Then commercial energy: the content behind the South Carolina SREC market site, an inbound engine built on grant-program authority that closed a multi-million dollar pipeline, and origination for General Energy Corporation, a 40-year Illinois contractor. Presence Pulse brings that operator playbook to businesses whose buyers research before they buy.

The partnership

Founder-led, partnered with specialists who run their own firms at the top of their lanes.

Paid Search / Google Ads
Award-winning Google Ads operator, 10+ years on enterprise accounts. Paid acquisition lands on the foundation we build.

Pre-answered, so you don't have to ask.

We start with a 30-minute call to learn your buyer and your sales motion. Then we run full query research and stack your site against the top five competitors in your market (name your own five if you want). From there we build an example new homepage plus three key pages, in your brand, so you can see the fix instead of imagining it. You review all of it before you commit.
Named deliverables, never hours. A typical month can include published articles, shipped pages, schema and AI-search upkeep, citation checks across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, local visibility work, paid search improvements, and a plain-language report.
It depends on scope, and scope is set after the discovery call. What we can promise: you see the audit and a live demo in your brand before you commit a dollar, every project is a fixed price agreed up front, and there is no hourly billing and no lock-in. If we ever stop working together, the work is still yours.
Most builds ship in 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff, and we have launched in less when a season demanded it. Strategy-heavy engagements run 6 to 8 weeks. The 12-week agency timeline usually measures meetings, not work.
Both, and they are better together. Senior Google Ads management sharpened with AI, and lead systems built with our partners at Mass Market AI: instant routing, follow-up sequences, AI assistants trained on your real knowledge, and CRM setup. The site is the foundation; the systems turn attention into booked work.
Answer Engine Optimization. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews now answer buyer questions directly. They cite sources that are clear, structured, useful, and credible. AEO is the work of making your expertise legible enough to become one of those sources.
Yes, from day one. Every project ships to a GitHub repo you own. We manage hosting for the first six months at no charge, then a small flat monthly fee, or you can take it in-house anytime. No vendor lock-in. If we ever part ways, your site keeps running and you can hand the codebase to anyone.
Most of our best clients have someone in the seat. We work as a partner, not a replacement: code, documentation, and playbooks your team can run with. The strategy and content work usually fills the gap nobody inside has time to own.
Businesses whose buyers research before they buy. The rooms we know best: real estate brokerages and top producers, luxury outdoor living and design-build studios, family-owned manufacturers, and established home-service companies. If buyers compare, read, and ask questions before they call, we can make you the answer they find.
Optional, and most clients keep us on. Monthly engagements cover strategy, content, AI search, Google Business Profile, Google Ads, and lead systems. No lock-in, ever: every month has named deliverables, and you can stop whenever the work stops earning its keep.

Bring the site, the offer, or the problem.
We'll show you where the opportunity is.
