Built for the small businesses that keep this town running. 15 years on the ground here, 25 in the business. Real office on Jerry Street. Real phone that a local team member answers.
Castle Rock is a strange town to build a business in, and we say that as people who've done it for 15 years. The population doubled in our time here. The downtown went from sleepy to slammed on a Saturday night. The Outlets keep pulling regional traffic up and down I-25. New subdivisions keep going up in Founders Village, The Meadows, Crystal Valley, Castle Pines. Demand for local trades, restaurants, dental, salons, contractors, and just about every other small-business category has not stopped climbing.
And yet most of the agencies our local business owners try first are out of Denver or out of state. They treat Castle Rock like an afterthought zip code on a generic "Denver metro" campaign. The result is a thousand small businesses paying $2,000 a month for SEO that ranks them in Aurora and Westminster but not the place they actually serve customers.
We started this shop to fix that. Local web design, local SEO, local paid ads, local social, all run by people who live here and understand the rhythm of the town. If you're a Castle Rock small business, you should not need to drive to Denver for a meeting about your website.
Modern, mobile-first websites built to convert local search traffic. Every site we ship is ADA accessible (WCAG 2.1 AA), multilingual-ready, fast on mobile, and optimized for the kind of local queries Castle Rock customers actually type. The bundled Marketing Packages include the website free starting at $2,500 in value — you pay for the marketing services, the site comes with it.
Rank for the searches that produce calls: "plumber Castle Rock," "dentist Castle Rock CO," "Castle Rock CPA near me," "best brunch downtown Castle Rock." We handle the Google Business Profile rebuild, citation push to 50 to 100+ directories, on-page tuning, location pages for the neighborhoods you serve (Castle Pines, Founders Village, Plum Creek, Crystal Valley, The Meadows, The Pinery), and monthly content targeting the long-tail queries your bigger competitors ignore. See the Local SEO tiers.
Google Ads, Meta, and Connected TV scoped tight to Castle Rock zip codes (80104, 80108, 80109) instead of bleeding budget on broader Denver-metro impressions. Geofencing for the Outlets, downtown Wilcox Street events, and competitor lots. Retargeting that pulls back the 96% of visitors who bounce. See the paid ads breakdown.
Meta and TikTok campaigns aimed at Castle Rock and the surrounding Douglas County footprint. Content built around the calendar your customers actually care about: Outlets sales events, Starlighting, downtown art walks, Philip S. Miller Park weekends, Castle Rock Adventist health events. Quoted on the discovery call once we see your goals.
Most local businesses lose money at 9 p.m. on Sunday when no one answers the phone. Our AI Agents book the appointment, qualify the lead, and hand off a clean ticket to your team for Monday morning. Bundled inside the Pro and Premium Marketing Packages, or available standalone from $49/mo.
A few things every local owner already knows but a Denver agency probably does not:
72 Hour Web Design is a subsidiary of Sympler, a marketing firm with offices in Castle Rock and Boise, Idaho. The 72HWD brand is the productized arm built specifically for small-business price points. Same craft, packaged so a local owner can buy a real website and marketing stack without sitting through a 6-week sales cycle.
Office: 610 Jerry Street, Suite 200, inside the Thrive coworking space, three minutes from downtown Castle Rock. Mon–Fri 8am to 6pm Mountain. (303) 625-6300 rings to a real team member. Voicemail outside hours returned within one business day. Or send a message.
Three Marketing Packages, each with a free website included:
Don't want a package? Buy a website outright at $2,500 or $3,500, or run standalone SEO from $359/mo. 12-month commitment on Marketing Packages, 30-day notice on à la carte services. No refunds (MSA §6).
No, but Castle Rock is home. We've been here 15 years, work out of 610 Jerry Street in the Thrive coworking space, and most of our walk-in clients are Douglas County operators. We also build for businesses across Colorado and the country — it just happens the local rate of new clients is the highest because we're neighbors.
Most agencies pitching Denver SEO bolt Castle Rock onto a zip-code list and call it covered. Castle Rock has its own search behavior: Outlets traffic from up and down I-25, seasonal hail-driven roofing demand, new-construction trades cycles, downtown Wilcox Street foot traffic, plus distinct neighborhoods (Founders Village, The Meadows, Plum Creek, Castle Pines, Crystal Valley) that each shop differently. We build campaigns around those patterns, not a generic Denver overlay.
Yes. Drop in at 610 Jerry Street, Suite 200 (inside Thrive coworking) during business hours, or call (303) 625-6300 to set a time. We do free 30-minute consultations on-site, no pitch deck, just an honest read on whether we're the right fit for your business.
Founded by Sean Hakes — 26 years of small-business marketing experience including Fortune 500 work at Amazon, Home Advisor, Lending Tree, Chipotle, and Waste Management. The company has been operating in Castle Rock for 15 years under the Sympler parent brand. 72 Hour Web Design is the productized arm built for the small-business price point.
Most local small businesses run a Marketing Package between $349 and $549/mo, which bundles the website + SEO + AI chat + hosting + listings. A few add paid ads ($2,500/mo total invest minimum) when they need volume fast. A handful run standalone SEO at $359-$895/mo on existing sites. The right number depends on your industry, your service area, and how aggressive you need to be.
Yes. We're active in the local business community, contribute to community causes the founder cares about, and prioritize hiring locally when we can. Sean Hakes is a longtime Castle Rock resident, business owner, and philanthropist. The shop is local, not a logo on a billboard owned by someone in another state.
