Also from the shop
Wood River Ranch, online at last.
A 4,600-acre grass-fed beef ranch south of Bellevue, running since 1979 on a dead Wix site where every cut read "out of stock." We rebuilt it around their own ranch photography, with a real storefront for quarters, halves, and individual cuts.

Powered by Wood River Digital
We don't just market the valley. We publish it.
The Bigwood Brief is our weekly newsletter for Ketchum, Sun Valley, Hailey, and Bellevue: council agendas, trail and river conditions, real estate, and where to eat, written by people who actually live here.
It's the same playbook we run for clients. Own the channel, earn the audience, be the answer. And when you advertise with us, your business lands in front of the valley's most engaged locals every week.
How it works
Simple on purpose.
- 01
The 30-second demo
We pull out a phone, ask ChatGPT and Google for the best [your service] in [your town], and show you exactly where you are. Usually it's nowhere. That's the gap we close.
- 02
Fix the foundation
A site that loads in under a second, structured data AI can read, a Google Business Profile that actually works, and reviews flowing in on autopilot. Most of it lands in the first 30 days.
- 03
Own the channels
Search, AI answers, social, ads, and the Brief. One monthly report shows organic traffic, AI visibility, leads, and what it cost. No jargon, no 40-page PDF.
Why us
We build our own before we sell it.
Every service on this page is something we run for ourselves. We publish the valley's newsletter. We wrote the guides. We shot the spots and built the sites. You get a partner who has already done the thing, not an agency learning on your budget.

What does a digital services company actually do for a local business?
Everything between a customer having a need and choosing you: showing up in Google and AI search, a website that loads fast and converts, social that looks like your brand, ads that track to a lead, apparel your crew actually wants to wear, and payments that don't eat your margin. We run it as one system with one report, instead of four vendors who don't talk to each other.
What is AI search optimization (AEO)?
It's making sure your business is the recommendation when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overviews a question. Those tools answer directly instead of listing links, and they pull from structured data, entity authority, and clear answer-first content. Most Idaho businesses have none of it, which is exactly why it works so well right now.
How long until we see results?
It depends where you're starting. The foundation work lands in the first 30 days: Google Business Profile, citations, on-page fixes, and schema. Local search and AI visibility build over the months after that, and competitive statewide terms take longer still. We show you the numbers every month so you can see what is actually moving instead of taking our word for it.
How much does it cost?
Setup runs $2,000 to $3,500 one time, then $500 to $750 a month for hosting, SEO, review generation, and the monthly report. Social, ads, clips, merch, and payments are add-ons priced on the pricing section above. No long-term contracts.
What's The Bigwood Brief, and why does it matter for my business?
The Bigwood Brief is our free weekly newsletter for Ketchum, Sun Valley, Hailey, and Bellevue. It's proof we can build an audience from scratch, and it's a channel: advertisers land in front of the valley's most engaged locals every week.
How are Social Clips made?
We concept and direct each clip, then generate it with Seedance 2.5 from real reference photos and video of your business and the valley, and finish it with a proper edit and end card. Yes, that means AI does the rendering. The point is the result: a short, cinema-grade spot that would have cost $30,000 to shoot, made in days instead of months.
Do you work outside Sun Valley?
Yes. We're based in Hailey and rooted in the Wood River Valley, but the same playbook works from Boise to Coeur d'Alene. We just like being able to drive to your shop.
Can you take over payment processing too?
Yes. We set up modern in-person and online payments with transparent rates, handle the migration from your current processor, and fold it into the same monthly relationship. One partner, fewer surprises on the statement.
