Your Website Should Sound Like You, Not Your Industry
Stop blending in with every other business in your industry. Your website is often the first interaction potential customers have with your business. We consider it to be your digital handshake, your first impression, and your biggest opportunity to build trust before your potential client ever meets you.
Why Every Website in Your Industry Sounds Exactly the Same
We don't build generic brochure sites that look and sound like everyone else. Instead, we create hyper-local, deeply personal websites that capture the authentic voice of your Southwest Florida business and showcase exactly why Lee County and Collier County residents should choose you over your competitors.
"Most websites focus on what you do and what services are offered. We focus on why your business is different and more importantly, how important your customer’s experience is to you." — Jeff Clapp
Here's what we discovered when researching hundreds of websites across different industries: they all looked and sounded exactly alike. We couldn't tell why we should use one Cape Coral plumbing company over another, one Fort Myers HVAC contractor over the next, or one Naples real estate agent over their competition just by reading their websites.
The problem? Many web companies industry specific generic content that sounds corporate and doesn't connect emotionally with Southwest Florida residents. You don't need to sound corporate unless you ARE corporate—and most of us aren't.
"I could not differentiate one company from another by reading their website at all. So I thought to myself, how are people choosing who they work with because they all sound the same." — Donna Clapp
Especially in Fort Myers, where everyone values that hometown feel, your digital presence should reflect the real relationships and community connections that drive your business success. It’s unfortunate, but due to our unique circumstances of living in Southwest Florida where we are often hit by natural disasters such as hurricanes or storm flooding, we get inundated by contractors who aren’t even local and don’t understand our climate and the specialized conditions that should be taken into account. You want people to know you live here locally, and understand our region and community.
Our Revolutionary Approach: The Customer Experience Interview
Every website project starts with something completely different—an in-depth interview with you, the business owner. But here's what surprises our Cape Coral clients: we don't ask about what you do, your services or your industry. We've already researched that thoroughly.
"I'm a journalist to begin with. I was a magazine editor for years, so it just made sense to me to start out with an interview. But I will tell you that my interview often surprises our new clients, because I'm not calling to ask about the services that you offer." — Donna Clapp.
We want to understand your "why;" What makes you passionate your industry and business. Why serving Southwest Florida communities is important to you. Most importantly, what your Lee County and Collier County clients can expect from you, and how you want them to feel throughout their entire experience with your business.
"Your website is your first touch point. It's your first salesperson that people interact with. I want them to get to know you and your company very specifically, not just your industry." — Donna Clapp
These questions catch business owners off guard because most have never been asked to think about their customer’s experience this deeply. But in our competitive Southwest Florida market with thousands of air conditioning companies, roofing contractors, and other service providers, we feel this differentiation is crucial.
Beyond Words: Authentic Visual Storytelling
Great website content is only half the equation. The other half involves authentic visual branding that makes your Naples business feel real and approachable to potential customers.
We incorporate authentic photography of your actual work—not stock images that could represent any business anywhere. We showcase real projects from local Southwest Florida neighborhoods, genuine testimonials from Lee County and Collier County clients, and visuals that speak directly to the specific preferences of local residents.
"We had a client several months ago who had started building his own website and was using all this stock photography and I asked him to put together a group of his own photos of his work. When I got them I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is what people want to see!’ Because the more real your website feels, and the more down to earth, the more people get that you care." — Jeff Clapp
The Trust Curve: From Stranger to Customer
We're living in what we call a "trust recession"—because of AI and generic content everywhere, Southwest Florida consumers feel distrustful of everything they see online. The businesses winning today are brave enough to be real and show they care about their clients and their community.
Here's the magic: when someone lands on your Cape Coral, Fort Myers, or Naples website and it looks and sounds exactly like you and your company’s culture, half your sales work is done before you even meet.
"People will tell you they need X amount of information to buy something, but in the end, they make their purchasing decisions based on how they feel, and whether they know, trust, and like you. I want them to read your website and feel like they know you a little bit so that when you pick up the phone, they feel like they already know you." — Donna Clapp
We've had clients throughout Southwest Florida tell us their customers said, "Oh my God, you sound just like you did on your website, and I am really excited to be working with you for that reason.”
Technical Excellence That Actually Works
While authentic content and genuine connection drive our approach, we never compromise on technical performance. Every website we develop includes mobile-responsive design, fast loading speeds, search engine optimization, and comprehensive analytics integration.
We also ensure all the technical signals are properly configured so Google and other search engines can easily find and rank your Cape Coral, Fort Myers, or Naples business. Because if you're not getting found online, you're getting missed by ready-to-buy customers.
Your digital assets—including your website, social media accounts, and online directories—are valuable business equity. When developed and managed properly, these assets contribute significantly to your company's overall value.
"We also make sure the backend of the website, the stuff that you never see, has all the right signals for search engines and AI to find you, because everything is signals today for Google. We want to make sure all the right tags and title are in there so that we maximize the opportunity for Google and other search engines to pick you up. Because the obvious thing is if you're not getting found, you're getting missed or skipped over." — Jeff Clapp
Collaboration, Not Just Development
Working with us means joining a partnership, not just completing a transaction. We want to make sure you have a wider view of what you're creating because customer experience is an important part of your brand in today's marketplace.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about Visitivity Inc and our marketing services.
I've been "meaning to update my website" for two years. Does timing really matter that much?
Your competitors aren't "meaning to" steal your customers – they're actively doing it every single day. While you've been thinking about it, they've been ranking for it, capturing leads from it, and banking profits from it. Two years of procrastination equals thousands of lost opportunities and probably tens of thousands in missed revenue. The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is right now. Stop thinking and start dominating.
Everyone says they do "personalized" marketing. How are you actually different?
Because we literally interview you about who you are for your clients, not what services you offer. Most marketing companies ask about your industry – we already researched that before we call you. We ask about your passion, your why, and what your clients can expect when they work with YOU specifically. Then we write your website so it sounds exactly like you, not like every other business in your industry. Your clients should say "You sound just like you did on the website" when they meet you. Can your current marketing company deliver that?
What if my competition starts copying what you do for me?
Let them try. They can copy your words, but they can't copy your authentic story, your genuine personality, or the real relationships you build. Plus, by the time they figure out what we're doing for you, you'll already be dominating search results and building customer loyalty. Copycats always lose because they're playing catch-up while you're setting the pace. We're not worried about your competition – we're worried about making you so magnetic that competition becomes irrelevant.
I'm not ready to commit to a big marketing overhaul right now. Can't I just start small?
You can, and you'll get exactly what "small" delivers – small results. Your biggest competitors aren't thinking small. They're investing big in their online presence while you're tiptoeing around the edges. But here's the thing – we've been in this business for nearly 28 years, and we know that business owners who succeed think differently. They understand that working with us is a partnership, not a transaction. When you're ready to stop playing small and start winning big, we'll be here. But don't expect big results from small efforts.
You keep talking about Southwest Florida specifically. Does location-based marketing really work that differently?
Southwest Florida isn't just our location – it's our laboratory. We understand that people here love that hometown feel, that personal connection. We know there are thousands of every type of business in this area, which means generic marketing gets you lost in the noise. We've seen what works locally and what doesn't work. National marketing agencies treat you like account #47583 and apply cookie-cutter strategies that ignore local personality. We live here, work here, and understand the unique culture that makes Southwest Florida businesses successful. Location isn't just geography – it's psychology.
I want to see results in the first month, or I'm out. Can you guarantee that?
We can guarantee you'll start ranking on Google in the first 60 days– and we track over 3,000 keyword phrases to prove it. But if you're looking for magic overnight success, go buy a lottery ticket instead. Nothing happens in 30 days or less that sticks well. Real business growth takes commitment. We've seen clients get new customers in less than two weeks, but we've also seen impatient business owners quit right before their breakthrough. The clients who dominate their markets understand that building authority takes time, but the results compound exponentially. Are you looking for quick fixes or long-term market dominance?
