Chinook is a small town of working businesses — fishing, trades, and the services a community relies on. The goal here isn't a flashy website that needs constant attention; it's a simple, accurate online presence that does its job in the background. When someone searches for what you do, you should show up with the right information and an easy way to get in touch.
Built for working businesses that don't have time to fuss
For trades and services, the website and Google profile are tools, not hobbies. They should be accurate, low-maintenance, and set up so a missed call or a slow afternoon doesn't cost you a job. We focus on the essentials that move the needle and skip the complexity you don't need.
On the river road
- US 101 comes through Chinook. Coming off the Astoria-Megler Bridge on the Washington side, the highway passes through a tunnel under Fort Columbia State Park on Chinook Point, then through town on its way to Ilwaco and the Peninsula. A lot of your customers are passing through, searching from the car.
- Fort Columbia guarded the mouth of the Columbia from 1896 to 1947, and the park's trails look out over the river and the bridge. Visitors who stop there are a few minutes from you.
- The Port of Chinook marina on Baker Bay is home to commercial and sport fishing boats, and the work around them: boat repair, gear, and the trades that keep a fishing town running.
What we help Chinook businesses do
- Show up with the right information — Google Business Profile cleanup, accurate hours and service details, and local keywords so customers can find and choose you.
- Stop losing jobs to slow follow-up — missed-call text-back, faster inquiry replies, and a single automatic nudge on quotes. (See our guide to plugging lead leaks.)
- Keep it simple — a clear, low-maintenance website that works on a phone and doesn't need constant attention.
- Save time with practical AI — simple tools that answer the same repeat questions about availability, service areas, and pricing.
- Get the paperwork off the truck seat — a focused tool for jobs, quotes, and customer records, so the details don't live in a notebook. (When that makes sense: our guide to custom software.)
Businesses we work with in Chinook
Fishing and charter operations, contractors and trades, and the local services that keep a small town running. The job is the same for each: make it easy for people to find you, choose you, and reach you. See how it's shaped for contractors and trades and charters and outfitters.
Where a Chinook business usually starts
Most working businesses here need the simple version: the Website Plan at $99 a month, with an accurate Google profile and a way to reach you that works on a phone. Trades usually add the Contractor Lead Capture package so a missed call becomes a text with your estimate form, and fishing operations add online booking so trips can be requested while you're out.
The free check-up tells you which of those, if any, is worth it for you.
