Company helps pumper build website
Problem: For 30 years, Teller County Septic Company served the Colorado Springs area with a steady, low-tech approach and a single 3-by-3-inch Yellow Pages ad. After Yellow Pages stopped publishing in Teller County seven years ago, and with no online presence or modern marketing, work dwindled to less than one septic pumping job per week. The owner, living with a flip phone and no digital payment options, viewed the internet as a leap beyond his comfort zone, leaving the business vulnerable to competitors who could reach customers online.
Solution: SepticCompanyMarketing.com partnered with Teller County Septic to establish a simple, low-budget digital presence. They created a clean two-page website focused on clear service descriptions, local credibility (Pikes Peak area) and prominent contact options. The site was designed to be easy to navigate for prospective customers, with prominent call-to-action phone and contact details. They could not set up online contact capabilities and a pay-invoice option, ensuring the business could start accepting modern inquiries without
disrupting his workflow, because the owner did not want an email account, a bank debit card or a modern phone that would allow him to search the internet.
Result: Within months, Teller County Septic Company started to get inquiries and new customers, driven by online visibility in the Pikes Peak region. The owner now recognizes the internet as a powerful customer channel while continuing to operate with his preferred, simple processes. The case demonstrates how a minimal online footprint can revitalize a long-standing local septic business.
