StarSite by BigStarfish • Missoula, Montana

The Missoula website builder for businesses that live on phone calls.

A brand-new website, designed and written for your business, live in days. Hosting, security, AI-search optimization, and a monthly content update, all handled for $300 a month. Built in Missoula, for Missoula trades and service businesses.

Your website was built for 2015 Google. Your customers ask AI now.

For twenty years, website design meant looking good and ranking on page one. That game is changing. When someone asks ChatGPT, Siri, or Google's AI "who should I call for a plumber in Missoula," the answer comes from what those assistants can read about you. Most local websites are invisible to them: no structured data, no llms.txt, content the crawlers cannot parse.

We audited the websites of established Missoula trades businesses this month. The average scored 77 out of 100 on AI readability. Several scored zero, and a few were offline entirely while Google still sent customers to the error page. Every StarSite ships at 100/100 and stays there: we re-check quarterly as the assistants evolve.

Everything included. Nothing to manage.

Do I own my website and domain?

Yes. You own your domain and your site content. We earn the $300 a month by being worth it.

What is AI-search optimization and why does my website need it?

When someone asks ChatGPT, Siri, or Google AI "who should I call for septic pumping in Missoula," the answer comes from what those assistants can read about local businesses. Most local websites built before 2020 are invisible to them. Every StarSite ships with structured data, llms.txt, and crawler-readable content, scoring 100/100 on AI readability, and we re-check it quarterly as the assistants evolve.

Is StarSite good for trades and service businesses?

It is built for them. Septic, pest control, roofing, plumbing, HVAC, excavation, towing, electrical: businesses whose customers need to call someone today. Every StarSite is built to ring your phone with click-to-call, instant quote forms, and your Google Business profile synced.
