Rio Grande Valley web design & digital marketing
We build the websites, ads and follow-up that bring buyers in — then we fix what happens after the phone rings. Most businesses aren't short on leads. They're short on a process that catches them.

Three jobs. In order.
Every business we work with needs at least one of these. Most need all three, and they only work in this sequence — there's no point buying more traffic if nobody answers the phone.
Get found
A site that loads fast, says what you actually do, and shows up when someone in your market goes looking.
- Website design & build
- Local SEO & Google Business Profile
- Google & Facebook ads
- Landing pages for offers
Answer faster
The first business to a real conversation usually wins the deal. We make sure that's you — nights and weekends included.
- Instant lead response
- Follow-up by text, email & call
- Missed-call text-back & AI answering
- CRM setup and clean-up
Keep them
The cheapest sale you'll make this month is to someone who already bought from you once.
- Google review management
- Social media management
- Win back past customers
- Monthly revenue reporting
Every budget has a first step.
Cheapest first. Pick the one that fits where your business is today — we'd rather you start small than not start.
Build it yourself, with me on the call
One hour on Google Meet. You share your screen and build your own website while I walk you through every click.
A website, priced as you build it
Static sites from $500; dynamic, multi-page sites with automations from $1,500. Pick what you need and watch the price update.
Ongoing marketing
Search, ads, social, reviews and follow-up — run for you each month and reported in plain numbers.
A–Z Business Development
For teams with a sales floor: we audit the lead flow, rebuild the follow-up process and train your managers to run it.
Where the money actually goes
Four leaks show up on almost every sales floor we walk. None of them appear on a marketing report. All of them appear in the sales numbers.
The lead sits.
A buyer fills out a form and waits an hour for a call. By then they've filled out two more. The first business to a live conversation usually wins, and it usually isn't you.
Two calls and quit.
Most salespeople stop after the second attempt, while many deals need several more touches to close. The pipeline isn’t dry — it’s abandoned.
The CRM is a graveyard.
Half-logged notes, dead statuses, deals parked in stages nobody reviews. If the manager can't see the truth in the CRM, they can't coach to it.
Nobody owns the miss.
When a lead goes cold there's no name attached and no conversation on Monday. Accountability isn't a personality trait — it's a process, or it doesn't exist.
Industries we know.
Anything high-ticket, where a person still has to pick up the phone to close it.
It starts with understanding your business. Everything else follows from that.
Ads, websites, and software are the easy part. What actually moves your bottom line is knowing where your business is losing money and why. That's why the most important hour we spend together is the first one.
Discovery
Book a call online, or meet in person — at your location or somewhere convenient for both of us. We learn how your business actually runs:
- Where your bottlenecks are and where money is leaking
- Your operating procedures, and how your team works day to day
- Your current marketing: what's running, what it costs, what it produces
- How your sales team handles the leads that come in, and how fast
- How your website and search visibility perform
- What your social media presence looks like
The plan
We come back with a plan built around one goal: revenue and return for the owner. Not activity, not vanity numbers. You review it and approve it.
We run it
Once the plan is approved, you let us execute it as designed. Strategies only work when they're carried out the way they were built, so this is the one thing we ask of every client. In return, you get clear, regular reporting on what's working and what it's producing.
An ongoing partnership
After launch we stay on it: refining, reporting, and adjusting as your business grows. The goal is a long-term relationship, not a one-time project.
Sites we’ve shipped
Three businesses, each with a different problem to solve.

Angelic Functional Medicine & Spa
Service menu, practitioner credibility and online booking in one flow.

GMWJCB
Heavy equipment inventory built for buyers who arrive already knowing the spec.

Pronto Test Labs
Fast, plain-language service pages for a business people find under pressure.
I ran the desk before I built the ads.
I'm Trae Sepulveda. Before I started BLK PHNX, I was a BDC director — the person responsible for what happens to a lead after it comes in. I've sat in the chair you're sitting in, watching good leads go cold between the form fill and the follow-up call.
That's an unusual place to come at marketing from, and it's why we work in the order we do. Plenty of agencies will happily sell you more traffic. Fewer will tell you your ad spend is fine and the problem is that nobody called back until Tuesday.
"Marketing gets them to raise their hand. Everything after that is a process — and a process can be taught."
Across the Rio Grande Valley.

Let's talk about your business
A discovery conversation first — what you're spending, what's coming in, and what happens to it after it does. If there's nothing to fix, we'll tell you that.
