Jeremy Anderson Tech is a web development, SEO and cybersecurity business in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, on the east side of Lake Quinsigamond from Worcester. I build and look after WordPress websites, help local businesses get found on Google and in AI search, and secure sites for small businesses across Worcester County.
Getting found in a county of 60 towns
Worcester County is the largest county in Massachusetts by area, with 60 cities and towns. That shapes how your customers search. Someone in Grafton types “web designer Grafton” or “near me” and Google answers with businesses it can tie to Grafton, not just to Worcester. A site that only says “Central Massachusetts” gives Google very little to go on.
So for local clients I start with the basics that connect a business to its towns:
- A Google Business Profile with the right categories, services and service area, plus a website that matches it.
- The same business name, email and service area on your site, your profile and the directories Google and AI assistants read.
- Pages and structured data that name the towns you actually serve.
That is the work in Local SEO Setup ($550). For the wider work on rankings and AI answers, see SEO and AI search optimization.
Towns I serve around Shrewsbury
- Shrewsbury: my home base, on Route 9 between Worcester and Westborough.
- Worcester: just across the lake, and the second-largest city in New England.
- Westborough and Northborough: next door to the east and northeast.
- Marlborough: a short drive east, off I-495 and Route 20.
- Grafton and Boylston: next door to the south and north.
I also work with businesses elsewhere in the county, in Greater Boston and MetroWest, and across New England. Most ongoing work happens remotely, so the list above is about who I can meet easily, not who I’ll work with.
Meeting in person
Local clients can have discovery sessions and kickoff meetings in person. Workshops and training at your office are billed at the normal hourly rate, with no travel surcharge within 50 miles of Shrewsbury. That covers every town on this page.
Websites for local businesses
Website work for local businesses usually means one of three things: a first proper website, a rebuild of a slow or outdated one, or someone to take over a site the last developer left behind.
- Business Site: a flat $3,500, delivered in 3 to 4 weeks, with up to 8 pages, on-page SEO, a contact form and map, security hardening and 30 days of support.
- WordPress development: $115 an hour with a two-hour minimum, for fixes, plugin conflicts, WooCommerce changes and taking over existing sites.
- Site migrations, performance optimization and WordPress training so your team can update the site themselves.
Security and Massachusetts data rules
Massachusetts businesses that keep personal information about Massachusetts residents fall under the state’s data security regulation, 201 CMR 17.00, which requires a written information security program. Your website is one of the places that information gets collected, through contact forms, bookings and online orders.
- A security audit ($850, 5 business days) gives you a written report on what’s at risk and what to fix first, or the Hardening Package ($2,400) does the fixes too.
- An MDPA compliance review ($675) checks cookie consent, plugin data collection and how your forms store submissions.
- If the site has already been compromised, hacked site repair starts with a free assessment call.
These are technical reviews of your website, not legal advice. Your attorney decides what the law requires of your business.
AI tools for small teams
An AI readiness assessment finds where AI would actually save your team time, and custom AI tools or AI integration put it to work with the systems you already use.
Why work with someone local
You work directly with me, the person who builds and maintains your site, not an account manager. I’ve been building for the web since 1998. If something breaks, you’re emailing someone a short drive away. See About Jeremy Anderson Tech and recent projects.
