Your website should bring you calls, not just sit there. Pokwala builds small business websites that are set up to rank on Google, then manages them so they keep working. You own your site, built on Wix or custom-coded, with clear prices and no quotes to chase.

Web design, SEO and website management in one place.

One person builds your site, ranks it and keeps it running, so nothing gets lost between a designer, an SEO agency and a web host.

Website design

A fast, mobile-first website with SEO built in before launch: clear page structure, titles Google can read, and your Google Business Profile connected. Most small business sites launch in 2 to 3 weeks.

Local SEO

A website nobody finds is an expense. Local SEO puts your services, your Google Business Profile and your reviews to work together, so people nearby find you first. You get a plain-English report every month.

Websites for trades
and home services.

When a pipe bursts or the furnace dies, your customers grab their phone and search. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs and contractors win those jobs by showing up first and making it easy to call. I build a page for each main service and area you cover, add click-to-call and a quote form, and put your reviews where customers see them.

Trades Pro websites are $4,495, or $2,995 for the first 5 founding clients.

George Mangala, founder of Pokwala.

I've spent 4 years doing SEO and web performance in-house for a bilingual Canadian tech platform. Pokwala is where I bring that same approach to small businesses: websites that load fast, rank on Google, and turn visits into calls. When you work with Pokwala, you work with me directly.
