Websites · AI · SEO
Websites that get found. AI that does the busywork. SEO that compounds.
Trichome Digital is a small studio for owners who want a site that ranks, tools that save real hours, and search traffic that turns into actual leads.
- Custom code, never templates
- Launch in 2 to 4 weeks
- California and remote clients nationwide
What we do
Three services. One team that connects them.
Most agencies sell one of these and outsource the rest. We plan, design, and build all three, so your site, your systems, and your search presence actually talk to each other.
AI consulting
We find the hours your team loses to repetitive work and build the tool that gets them back.
- Workflow audit with a real ROI number
- Intake, quoting, and follow-up automation
- Assistants trained on your documents
- Guardrails and a human in the loop
SEO & content
Get found on Google Maps and local search, then keep climbing with content written for what your customers actually type.
- Google Business Profile that ranks
- Technical and on-page SEO
- Pages and posts that answer real searches
- Call and form tracking, reported plainly
Most small businesses are one good website away from being the obvious choice in their town. We build that site, put AI on the busywork, and make sure Google can find it. Then we measure whether it worked.

Three things we build, running right here.
These are live demos, not screenshots. Click, drag, and replay them. Every one is the kind of thing we put on a client's site.
Fast enough to feel instant.
Page builders ship code you never use. Our sites ship only what the page needs.

How we do this Built by an engineer
Every site and tool is coded by the same person who plans it. No hand-offs, nothing lost in translation.
You own everything
Your code, your content, your accounts. Leave any time and take it all with you.
Weeks, not months
Most sites launch in two to four weeks. Most AI builds ship in under six.
Measured, not guessed
Calls, forms, and rankings are tracked from day one, so you know what is working.
Selected work
Built for real businesses with real constraints.
A BMW tuning shop, a cannabis event service, a cannabis brand, and an AI design platform we built ourselves. Different industries, same standard.
2026
A parts store that knows which BMW you drive
A custom e-commerce storefront and admin for a BMW tuning specialist, with a fitment engine that tells every shopper whether a part fits their car before they add it to the cart.
2026 A booking site for a service most people have never seen
A mobile cannabis bar for private events needed a site that explains an unfamiliar service in seconds, prices three different models clearly, and turns visitors into booking inquiries.
Rebuild in progress Building a cannabis brand's first site, then outgrowing it
We built the live site for a California living-soil cannabis brand on a page builder to get them online fast. Now we are replacing it with a custom, animation-led site that matches how far the brand has come.
2026
An AI creative director for packaging design
A full AI-powered design platform that turns a product brief into coordinated packaging artwork, with a compliance engine that keeps every label inside the rules.

From the blog
Straight answers, no jargon.
Google deleted thousands of free business websites. Is yours a dead link?
In March 2024 Google shut down the websites it made from Business Profiles. Many listings still point at them. Here is how to check yours in two minutes and what to do about it.
What an AI audit for a small business actually covers
AI consulting sounds vague. Here is the concrete process we use to find the work AI should be doing in your business, and how we decide what not to build.
Why we hand-code websites instead of using a page builder
Page builders are fine until you need speed, search rankings, or a feature they did not think of. Here is when a custom-coded site is worth it and when it is not.
Questions
Things people ask on the first call.
Do I need all three services?
No. Most clients start with one. They connect well: search sends people to the site, and AI tools handle what comes in. But each stands on its own.
Do you run paid ads or social media?
No. We focus on search because it is the channel that keeps paying after the work is done. If ads are the right move for your business, we will say so and point you to someone who does them well.
Can I edit the site myself after launch?
Yes. Growth and Custom sites include an editor for the content you will actually change: text, photos, posts, locations, products. You never touch code.
What does an AI project look like for a small business?
Usually one focused tool: an assistant that drafts quotes from a form, a bot that qualifies inbound leads, or a pipeline that turns your notes into content. We start with an audit that puts a dollar figure on each option.
Where are you based and who do you work with?
We are based in California and work with clients across California and remote clients nationwide. Trades, auto, restaurants, cannabis, and high-ticket services are where we have the most experience.
How does payment work?
Fixed-price projects are split 50% to start and 50% at launch. Monthly plans are billed at the start of each month and can be cancelled with 30 days notice.
Let’s build something that pays for itself.
A free 20-minute call. We look at your site, your listing, and where your hours go, then tell you what we would do first. No deck, no pressure.
