BKND Development services for New Jersey businesses.

Small-to-mid businesses doing $500K–$20M in revenue. Most active clients are in home services (roofing, HVAC, plumbing, paving, cleaning, auto repair), professional services (law, accounting, consulting), healthcare admin, real estate, and small ecommerce. The common thread is they're operating-led businesses where the owner is the bottleneck and they need software to scale without hiring more people.

We're based in Elizabeth and work in person with NJ clients across Union, Essex, Middlesex, Hudson, Bergen, Morris, and Monmouth counties when it helps. Beyond the region we work remote with clients across the U.S. The AI automation, websites, and SEO are software — they don't care about geography. The on-site sessions are an option for NJ clients who want them.

Three pricing tiers: Pilot projects $1,500–$3,500 fixed scope (AI automation), Custom website builds $5,000–$25,000+ depending on scope, and SEO/marketing retainers $2,500–$5,500/month based on the work. Most clients start with a pilot to prove ROI before retainer. We don't take retainers from businesses where the math doesn't work for them — your retainer should pay back inside 60–90 days or it's not worth doing.

Traditional agencies hire a junior account manager, a junior copywriter, a junior designer, and bill you for their time. We're three people using AI to deliver the output of a fifteen-person team. You talk directly to the founder. The work ships faster, costs less, and the senior-level strategy doesn't get diluted through three layers of junior staff.

AI automation pilot: first workflow live in 10–14 days from kickoff. Custom website build: 4–8 weeks depending on complexity. SEO retainer: first wins in 60–90 days, compounding from there. We don't promise rankings in 30 days because nobody can ethically promise that — but we'll show you the work shipping every two weeks.

Yes. Our /case-studies page has detailed breakdowns of two clients including verifiable Google Search Console screenshots and traffic data. We have 15+ active NJ clients but not all are public — some prefer to stay anonymous. We'll share private case studies relevant to your industry on a discovery call once you sign an NDA.

Totally fine. We do standalone website builds. We do standalone SEO retainers. We do standalone AI automation projects. Most clients start with one and add the others as they see what's working. We don't require a bundle.

We work remote with clients across the U.S. Most relationships are remote-first anyway — we run regular video check-ins, share progress through a project portal, and use Loom + Slack for everything that doesn't need a call. The Elizabeth office is for NJ clients who specifically want in-person sessions, not a requirement.

Book a 30-minute intro call via the contact form. We'll have a real conversation, look at your current state, and tell you whether we can help — and if so, what the first 90 days would look like. If we're not the right fit, we'll point you to who is. No pitch deck.
