I get South Shore businesses found on Google and ChatGPT.
I'm Chris in Cohasset, and I help local shops show up on Google Maps and ChatGPT so you get the call.
Everything your business needs to get found on Google and AI.
From design to SEO and AI answer optimization to lead generation — I take care of your online presence so you can focus on what you do best.
Beautiful, fast, mobile-first websites that make your business look professional online. No templates, no drag-and-drop. Real design that builds trust and converts visitors.
Why South Shore businesses work with me.
I'm not an agency. I'm a product designer who builds real relationships with the businesses I work with. Here's what makes working together different.
Free website, or cancel anytime
Commit to 18 months and I include a free custom website. Prefer flexibility? Month-to-month is available so you can cancel anytime.
You own everything
Your domain, your content, your code. If you ever leave, you take it all with you. No hostage situations, no proprietary lock-in.
Work directly with me
You talk to the person actually building your site. No account managers, no ticket queues. Just me, Chris, and my full attention on your business.
South Shore local
I'm based in Cohasset on the South Shore. I know the market, the businesses, and the community. I'm your neighbor, not a faceless agency.

Hey, I'm Chris.
I'm a product designer living in Cohasset, Massachusetts. By day, I'm VP of Product Design at a startup. On the side, I help South Shore small businesses get found online — both on Google and in the AI tools more and more people are using to find local services.
I started Scanlon Design because I kept seeing local businesses with great services but terrible online presence. They were invisible on Google Maps, nowhere to be found when someone asked ChatGPT for a recommendation, and losing customers to competitors who showed up first.
When you work with me, you work directly with me. No account managers, no offshore teams, no ticket queues. Just a neighbor who knows design, understands SEO and AI visibility, and genuinely wants to see your business succeed.
Currently working with businesses including R. Mullen and Associates, a Hingham construction firm.
More and more customers are asking AI for recommendations.
ChatGPT. Gemini. Perplexity. Google AI Overviews. Your customers are asking AI which plumber to call, which restaurant to try, which contractor to hire. If AI doesn't know about your business, those customers go to your competitors.
SEO gets you found on Google. AEO gets you found in AI answers.
AI answer optimization (AEO) — also called AIO — is the next step in search. I make sure your business shows up when people ask AI for help, not just when they type into Google. Every site I build is optimized for both, so you're never invisible.
Most local businesses haven't heard of AEO yet. Getting ahead now puts you in front of customers your competitors are missing.

Common questions about pricing
- What does "18-month commitment" mean?
- You agree to stay for 18 months at a locked-in rate. In return, I build you a custom website at no extra cost — a $1,500 value. If you need to cancel early, you can either pay the prorated website value or simply let the site go (your domain is always yours).
- What if I want to go month-to-month?
- No problem. The month-to-month rate is higher because it covers the website cost over time. You can cancel anytime with 30 days notice. Your domain and content are always yours.
- What happens if I cancel early on an 18-month plan?
- You have two options: (1) Pay the remaining website balance — $1,500 times the months left divided by 18 — and keep everything, or (2) Let the site go and keep your domain. No hard feelings either way.
- What's included in the monthly price?
- Everything — design, hosting, SSL, security, updates, edits, and support. No hidden fees, no surprise charges. Your monthly price is your total cost.
- Do I own my website?
- Yes. Your domain is always yours from day one. With an 18-month commitment, you own the full site after 18 months. Month-to-month clients can buy out their site anytime for $1,500.
- What's AI search optimization (AEO)?
- It's how I get your business to show up when people ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google AI Overviews for recommendations. More and more people are using AI to find local businesses — AEO makes sure they find you.

I'm based in Cohasset on the South Shore of Massachusetts and that's my sweet spot, but I work with local businesses everywhere. My services are fully remote-friendly.
