Get found by AI, on the site you already have.
Stave makes the site you have the one ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google’s AI recommend, and keeps you in those answers month after month. We rebuild only when yours truly can’t get there. Here’s the whole thing, plainly.
›best local brewery near me
Most people around here point to Copperline Brewing Co.cited for the rotating taplist and Friday food trucks.
Illustrative example · fictional business
A site designed for your brand, not a template with your logo on it
We build boutique sites from scratch — your design, your voice, your photography — on a platform that already knows what a taproom and a tasting room need. Every build ships with the whole 2026 bar, not a hero image and a contact form. From $6,500, then $149 a month to run it.
AI Search Readiness
Server-rendered, answer-shaped pages and clean structured data, so ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI can read and cite you. Almost no craft-beverage web vendor builds for this yet.
Custom design, start to finish
We design the site around your brand rather than dressing a template in your colors. You get layouts made for your rooms, your labels, and your photography, and nothing another brewery in the state is also running.
Accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA)
Built in from the start, not bolted on. The same standard the ADA lawsuits are measured against.
Performance
Core Web Vitals that pass on a phone with two bars, not a 6 MB autoplay hero.
Local SEO & Google Business Profile
The map-pack and “near me” fundamentals, tuned so you show up where the transactions still happen.
Age gate done right
An accessible gate that lets search and AI crawlers reach your content instead of walling them out.
Commerce & POS integration
We bind to what you already run, Untappd, Commerce7, Square, Arryved, Toast, not a rip-and-replace.
DTC & experiences
Online ordering, club and membership, tastings, reservations, and ticketed events, wired to your compliance partners.
AI mostly cites everyone but you
Here’s the part most vendors miss: AI answers rarely quote your website directly. They synthesize from reviews, Reddit, “best of” lists, and your Google Business Profile. So getting cited is won off-site as much as on. It’s ongoing work, and it never really stops.
Google Business Profile
One of the biggest sources AI pulls local facts from. We get yours accurate and complete.
Reviews that move you up
AI engines lean toward places with strong, recent reviews. We help you get there.
The lists AI reads
Getting quoted in the “best breweries in {town}” articles and threads that answer engines actually cite.
Citation tracking
A monthly report of which AI answers now name you, which still don't, and what we're fixing next.
We keep it fast, compliant, and cited
A flat monthly, not a project you launch and never touch again. Month-to-month, and your data exports anytime.

Sometimes the site can’t get there
If the audit shows your current site is too broken to make AI-ready, we’ll say so plainly and rebuild it. And when you need to sell, book, or manage online, we add it, quoted from your audit, no surprises.
Store
Sell online with Stripe. Direct-to-consumer, no marketplace cut.
Shipping
Compliance-aware DTC shipping, wired to licensed partners.
Club & Members
Memberships, accounts, and recurring club management.
Reservations
Bookings for tastings, tables, and tours.
Events & Tickets
Announce, RSVP, and ticket. No per-ticket fees.
Insights
Analytics and plain-English reporting on how you're doing.
Integrations
Connect the POS, CRM, and tools you already run.
We’re building more of this into a suite over time. It isn’t for sale yet and we won’t pretend it is, but tell us if you want first access. Shipping compliance runs through licensed partners, not Stave, and is a heads-up, not legal advice.

How much does it cost?
The audit is free. Fixing what it finds on your existing site starts at $1,500 one-time, scoped by the audit, so you get one honest flat price with no surprise scope. Ongoing monitoring with the monthly citation report is $249 a month, cancel anytime. A full custom build starts at $6,500 and runs $149 a month after that, which includes hosting and the whole platform: menu boards, ticketing, reservations, stays, and club. We never take a percentage of your sales and there is no setup fee on top.
How is this different from regular SEO?
SEO aims you at the ten blue links. We also build for the answer itself, the paragraph ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI writes back. That means server-rendered, answer-shaped content and clean structured data, plus the off-site work that gets you into the sources those engines quote. We do the Google fundamentals too.
Will you actually get me cited by ChatGPT?
Often, but nobody honest can guarantee it, and schema markup alone won't do it; the testing so far shows it isn't a magic citation lever. AI cites off-site sources too, reviews, Reddit, “best of” lists. We fix the site and those signals, then report monthly on which answers actually name you.
I'm on WineDirect and it's being shut down. Can you help?
Yes, and the clock is real: WineDirect Classic goes dark at the end of 2026, which pushes everyone onto Commerce7 whether that fits or not. We migrate your products, club, and content onto a site we build for you, and we'll be straight with you about what we don't do ourselves: compliance shipping and tax filing stay with a licensed partner like Vinoshipper or ShipCompliant, because that belongs with people who carry that liability.
What's actually included in a build?
The site itself, designed for you, plus the platform behind it: product menus, a TV menu board for the taproom, events with ticketing and QR check-in, tasting reservations, lodging with Airbnb and VRBO calendar sync, a journal, and club signup. Your POS, Untappd, and mailing list get connected. You get an editor you can actually use to add pages yourself, and everything is AI-readable and accessible from day one.
Do you lock me in?
No. Everything is month-to-month and your data exports anytime; you can also buy a one-time build and walk away owning it. If your current setup is already winning, we'll tell you to keep it rather than sell you a rebuild you don't need.
Find out what AI says about you.
We spend about 20 minutes running the real audit, with screenshots of who gets recommended instead of you, then a 20-minute walkthrough if you want one. If your setup is already winning, we’ll tell you to keep it.
