Jeremy Anderson Tech is a web development, SEO and cybersecurity business in Shrewsbury, about 45 minutes west of Boston. I work with small businesses in MetroWest and Greater Boston on WordPress websites, SEO and AI search optimization, and website security, mostly remotely and in person when it helps.
Where I work in Greater Boston
MetroWest and the Route 9 corridor
Route 9 and the Mass Pike run straight from Shrewsbury into Boston, so the MetroWest towns along them are the easiest to reach: Framingham, Natick and Wellesley on Route 9, and Marlborough and Hudson near I-495.
Inside Route 128 and Boston
Closer in, I work with businesses in Newton, Waltham and Boston itself. Waltham sits on Route 128, the stretch of highway long known for Boston’s tech companies.
Standing out in a crowded market
Search for web design or IT help in Boston and the first page is full of agencies with big marketing budgets. A small business in Natick or Newton rarely wins by going after “Boston” searches head-on. It wins on the searches its own customers type: the town name, the specific service, and the questions people now ask AI assistants.
- Local SEO Setup ($550): a Google Business Profile that names the towns you actually serve, local schema markup, and consistent details across your site and the directories search engines read.
- SEO and AI search optimization: fixed-price work, combined into one quote, that makes your pages easy for Google and for AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews to understand, trust and quote. No ranking guarantees: nobody controls Google.
- A Technical SEO Audit ($575) when the site looks fine but doesn’t rank, and schema and AEO markup so search engines understand what you offer.
Working directly with the developer
With an agency, you usually explain your business to an account manager who passes it along. Here you talk to the person who writes the code. Pricing is published, and fixed-price work has a written scope agreed before it starts.
- Business Site: a flat $3,500, up to 8 pages, delivered in 3 to 4 weeks with 30 days of support.
- Custom Platform: $7,500 for custom post types, custom plugin features and team training, delivered in 5 to 7 weeks.
- WordPress development: $115 an hour with a two-hour minimum, including taking over a site another developer or agency built. I audit what’s there first, then keep or replace what makes sense.
Protecting customer data
Businesses around Boston collect plenty of personal information through their websites: contact forms, bookings, patient or client intake, online orders. In Massachusetts, a business that keeps personal information about Massachusetts residents falls under 201 CMR 17.00, the state’s data security regulation, which requires a written information security program.
- A security audit ($850, 5 business days) with a written, risk-rated report and a debrief call.
- An MDPA compliance review ($675) of cookie consent, plugin data collection and how form submissions are stored.
- Cybersecurity consulting and hacked site repair when something has already gone wrong.
These are technical reviews of your website, not legal advice. Your attorney decides what the law requires of your business.
Meeting in person
Most ongoing work happens remotely. For clients in Greater Boston, discovery sessions and kickoff meetings can be in person, and workshops or training at your office are billed at the normal hourly rate. There’s no travel surcharge within 50 miles of Shrewsbury, which covers Boston and every town on this page.

Common questions
Is Shrewsbury too far away for a Boston business?
Usually not. Most ongoing work is remote, and Boston is about 45 minutes away for the meetings that are worth having in person. There’s no travel surcharge within 50 miles of Shrewsbury.
Can you take over a site another agency built?
Yes. I audit the existing WordPress site first, then keep or replace what makes sense. Hourly work is $115 an hour with a two-hour minimum, and a defined rebuild can be a fixed-price package.
How much does a small business website cost?
The Business Site package is a flat $3,500 for up to 8 pages, on-page SEO, a contact form and map, security hardening and 30 days of support, delivered in 3 to 4 weeks. Larger builds are scoped and quoted.
Can you help us show up in AI answers, not just Google?
Yes. SEO and AI search optimization covers both: technical fixes and structured data that search engines rely on, and pages that are easy for AI tools to understand, trust and quote. It starts at $475, with no ranking guarantees.
