Stop missing leads.
Start actually growing.
We build fast websites, set up AI receptionists that answer your phone around the clock, and add chat that texts straight to your phone. Built for small businesses that can't afford to miss a call.
Most small businesses are losing leads every single day, and don't even know it.
We called dozens of local businesses last month. Half didn't pick up. The other half had outdated websites and no way to message them online. Here's what's quietly costing you customers.
The phone rings, you can't pick up.
You're on a job. In a meeting. Eating dinner. The customer hangs up and calls your competitor instead.
Your site looks like 2014.
Slow to load, doesn't work on phones, no clear way to contact you. Visitors bounce in seconds.
Visitors have questions, no way to ask.
People want to message, not call. Without chat, they leave your site and forget you exist.
Three services. One simple goal.
Capture every lead that's currently slipping through. Pick one, two, or all three. They work even better together.

Tell us where leads are leaking. We'll ask the right questions to figure out what's actually costing you customers and what isn't.
We build it for you
We set up the website, train the AI, connect your calendar. You answer a few questions and approve the setup. We handle everything else.
You stop missing leads
Live in about a week. Real calls get captured, real leads get booked, and you get back to the work that pays the bills.
Small businesses, real results.
Great experience start to finish. Really took marketing my business to the next level by having such a professional website! Couldn't recommend enough. I tried using AI myself, but quickly realized I needed help to get my business earning customers. Levi helped me along the entire way!
I've consistently watched my number of customers increase month-over-month and since last year, I've nearly doubled my class sizes. Best money I've ever spent and Levi is amazing to work with!
I had a random idea, and Levi made it happen. I wanted to create a community for people in my industry, a "LinkedIn" of sorts. Not only did it meet my expectations, but it all happened so fast!
Quick answers before you book.
Do I have to use all three services?
Nope. Pick one, two, or all three. They work great together but each one solves a different problem on its own. Most customers start with one and add the others later.
What does this cost?
It depends on which services and your call volume, but most small businesses spend less than the revenue of one missed booking per month. We give flat monthly pricing on the discovery call. No hidden fees, no per-minute charges.
How fast can you actually get this live?
About a week for most setups. We've done websites in 5 days when needed. The AI receptionist takes a few extra days because we train it on your specific business. Here's how the AI receptionist setup actually works.
Are you actually local?
Yes. Built in Hayti, South Dakota. Want to try the AI receptionist? Call (605) 605-1203 and you'll meet it yourself. We work mostly with businesses across South Dakota and the wider Midwest, but we'll happily work with anyone who values that local-first approach.
Built in South Dakota. For real businesses.
Hi, I'm Levi. I started Locust Websites because I kept seeing the same thing: small businesses doing great work, getting beat by competitors with worse craft but better marketing.
I'm not a faceless agency in a city you've never been to. I'm local. Call (605) 605-1203 anytime. If I don't pick up, you'll meet our AI receptionist yourself. Best demo we can offer.
No long contracts. No upsells you don't need. Just websites that work and tools that catch the leads you're missing.
