We're cousins and co-founders who got tired of watching great businesses lose customers to worse competitors with shinier websites. It made no sense. So we built Clamshell Creative to fix it.

We don't hand you a template and call it a day. We research your competitors, study what actually converts in your niche, and build something that works from day one. We work with businesses everywhere. No mockups. No guesswork. No bloated agency fees.

Plumbers, barbers, HVAC, landscapers, salons, delis, cleaners, vets — if you're the best-kept secret in your town, that's the problem we solve.

Owen Schaedel.

I handle the technical side of Clamshell Creative from Amsterdam. Every site I build is fast, responsive, and engineered to perform. I care about the details most people never notice: load times, mobile behavior, the way a button feels.

How our services
work for you.

Real answers to the questions every local business owner asks us. Hover each card to read.

Website

How does a website actually bring me more customers?

Here is how it works

When someone searches "plumber near me" or "best barber in town," Google shows businesses with websites first. Without one, you are invisible. With one, your phone number, reviews, and services are right there. Customers call instead of scrolling past.

AI Chatbot

A customer visits at midnight with a question. What happens?

The chatbot answers, not silence

Your AI chatbot is live 24/7, trained on your services, pricing, and hours. It answers the question, asks a few qualifying questions, and captures their contact details. You wake up to a qualified lead, not a missed opportunity.

Hover away to flip back

Missed Calls

I miss calls while I am on a job. Are those leads just gone?

Not anymore

On AI Pro, every missed call goes to voicemail. AI transcribes it and texts you the summary within seconds. You know exactly who called, what they need, and when to call back. The lead is saved before you even put your tools down.

Hover away to flip back

Reviews

How do I get more Google reviews without asking every customer myself?

The Reviews Agent handles it

After every completed job, AI sends a personalized review request. When a review comes in, AI writes the response and emails it to you to copy and paste. No login, no dashboard, no extra effort. Available on AI Pro ($100/month).

SEO

My competitor shows up on Google and I do not. Why?

They have a site. You do not.

Google ranks businesses with websites, consistent contact information, and active Google Business Profiles. Our AI Growth tier gets you ranking for the terms your customers actually search, and sends you a plain-English monthly report on exactly where you stand.

The full picture

What does it look like when all the AI features are running?

Your business runs itself

A customer finds you on Google, asks a question at midnight, submits a quote request, gets an instant SMS confirmation, leaves a review after the job, and you get a plain-English monthly summary of all of it. You just do the work. AI handles the rest.
