Richie Kastl · Your tech partner
The tech partner your business is missing.
I run your website. I get you found on Google. I set up AI to do the busy work. Something new goes live every week, for far less than a $400K hire.
I work with companies doing $5M to $50M a year. I take five at a time, and one spot is open. See if you qualify.
$33M+
in sales leads and deals for my clients
27M+
times my clients showed up on Google in the past year
173K+
visitors my clients got from Google in the past year

The real problem
Your business runs on tech. Nobody on your team is in charge of it.
It shows up in four ways. Underneath, it's the same problem every time.
All talk, no work
You paid someone for advice. You got a slide deck. Nothing got built, and you're still stuck where you started.
A new bill every time
Every job is a new quote. You can't tell if the price is fair. So you pay it and hope.
A website nobody finds
It cost a lot. Google can't find it. People who do visit don't call. And you think it's working.
Everyone says "use AI"
Nobody tells you how, or which tools are worth the money. So you wait, and watch others move ahead.
All four have one fix: one person who owns all of it. That's the job I do.
Who I am
I've been the one people call when the tech has to work.
For 14 years, I've been the person on the hook when a website has to stay up, show up on Google, and bring in sales. I know how it feels to depend on tech you can't see inside.
That's the job I take off your plate. I handle the plan, the tools, the website, the AI, and the results. I don't just give advice. I build it myself. I can do this for you too.

How it works
-
Step 1
Apply
Fill out a short form. I reply in one business day. If we're a fit, we start with a Tech Audit. In two weeks I look at all of your tech, and you get a one-year plan you keep no matter what.
-
Step 2
We get to work
I run your tech and put something new live every week. You have one person to call, not five different companies.
-
Step 3
It keeps getting better
More people find you on Google. More busy work runs on its own. Your tech starts making you money instead of costing you money.
Why it works
Three things change the week we start.
You see progress
Something new goes live every week. It's in writing. If a week goes by with nothing new, that month is free.
Tech is off your plate
I handle the plan, the tools, and the tech companies you pay. You stop being the one who has to figure it all out.
You own everything
Your website, your accounts, and your data are in your name from day one. If you ever leave, you take it all with you.

Your website and online store. Getting found on Google. AI that does the busy work. Ads, plus a clear view of where every customer came from. Someone to make the big tech calls.

Hire a full-time tech leader
$300–500K/yr
Salary, benefits, and a six-month search. And they still pay outside companies to build things.
Working with me
A small part of that
Everything for one flat monthly fee, with something new every week. We start with a Tech Audit, and its full price comes off your first month.

Costs the most
Every month you wait, competitors with better tech take your customers. And your website keeps losing leads.
I work with companies doing $5M to $50M a year. I take five at a time, on purpose, and one spot is open.

Good questions to ask
Why not just hire someone full time? +
A full-time head of tech costs $300K to $500K a year. It can take six months to find one. Then they still pay outside companies to do the building. I do the thinking and the building, for a small part of that cost. The Tech Audit shows you the math first.
What if I want to stop working with you? +
Everything is in your name from day one, and I write down how it all works. So anyone can take over at any time. That's in our contract, not just a promise.
How do I know it will work for my business? +
I've done it before. A website I built brought a manufacturer $23M in sales leads. Another helped a manufacturer win a $10M deal with a Fortune 100 company. A site I rebuilt serves 398,000 people. The Tech Audit shows what I can do for you before you sign up.
Why only five clients? +
Each client gets me, not a junior helper. One person can only do that for a few companies. So I cap it at five. One spot is open right now.
How do we start? +
With the Tech Audit. For two weeks, I look at your website, your Google traffic, your ads, your tools, and what you spend on tech. You get a one-year plan you keep no matter what. If we work together, the full price of the Audit comes off your first month.

One spot is open. Apply.
If we're a fit, we start with a Tech Audit: two weeks, one flat price, and it comes off your first month if we work together. Worst case, you keep a one-year plan that pays for itself.
