About AXF Creative
It’s just me. One person, twenty years of doing this.
Short answer
AXF Creative is not a large agency — it is a solo operation run by Preston Moreau, the founder and operator. Preston started coding websites in 2005, moved into SEO in 2007, and has adapted through every Google update and marketing shift since, including today's race to get found in AI answers. Over 20 years he has managed more than $3.5 million in combined Google and Meta ad spend and worked with everyone from local service providers to SaaS and e-commerce brands. His heart is with local service providers, because helping them means helping families. That is why AXF Creative walked away from $800–$7,000 monthly retainers and now builds five-page websites for $300 — pay for what you need, no retainers, fair pricing for local businesses.
How I got here
From learning to code in 2005 to the AI era now
I’m Preston Moreau, and I founded and run AXF Creative by myself. A lot of agency websites read like there is a big team behind them. There isn’t — and honestly, that is the point. Here is the road that got here:
- 2005
Learned to code websites
It started with learning how websites were actually built — the code, the pages, the structure. Not a marketing course. A keyboard and a browser.
- 2007
Went all in on SEO
Two years in, search became the whole focus. Ranking a local business on Google has been the craft ever since.
- 2007 – today
Adapted through every change
Google has rewritten its rules many times over two decades, and the marketing industry has shifted with it. Every version meant relearning the tactics. Surviving that long means adapting is the job.
- Now
The AI era
AI answers are a stage unlike anything before. When someone asks an assistant for a local company, the businesses named in that answer win the call. This is the race to the top of the AI generative response — and it is won with SEO, AEO, and GEO, built into the site from day one.

Why local service providers
Helping a local business means helping a family
I have worked with a lot of different businesses over the years — local service providers, SaaS companies, e-commerce brands. They all taught me something, and I still take custom-scope projects when they fit. But my heart is with local service providers.
There is a direct connection between helping a local service provider and helping a family put food on the table. When a roofer, a plumber, or a cleaning company gets more calls, a household does better. That connection is why I built this whole approach: make marketing as affordable as possible for the people who keep our towns running.
Walking away from the old model
I used to charge $800 to $7,000 a month. Not anymore.
My rates used to start at $800 a month and run all the way up to $7,000 a month. I am walking away from that on purpose. In today’s economy, local service providers cannot carry those numbers — and I have watched what happens when they try. Inflation squeezes margins, competition gets harder, and the marketing bill is often the thing that pushes take-home pay underwater.
I have also seen the other side of it: agencies that promise so much and deliver so little, taking money straight out of business owners’ pockets. Multiple people have come to me after going through several marketing companies just to find one that was honest. I try to be upfront and true — that is why there are no large retainers here. You pay for what you need, not for things you might use eventually.
The $300 partnership
$300 is a fair starting point and a commitment.
Starting a five-page build at $300 means each finished page costs $60. That keeps the first step affordable while still respecting the work behind a custom, conversion-focused site. The model works because I keep overhead low and build long-term partnerships.
If you need additional web pages, blog writing, or ads management, we add that on when you want it — never before. I believe it should be fair for every business to have affordable marketing. That is the whole idea behind why $300, and it is not changing.

FAQ
Questions about working with AXF Creative
- Are you really a one-person company?
- Yes. AXF Creative is a solo operation — Preston Moreau is the founder and the operator. There is no account manager, no sales team, and no junior staff. The person who plans your site is the person who builds it.
- How much experience does AXF Creative have?
- Preston started coding websites in 2005 and moved into SEO in 2007 — over 20 years in the industry. Along the way he has managed more than $3.5 million in combined Google and Meta ad spend and worked with local service providers, SaaS companies, and e-commerce brands.
- Why did you walk away from the old agency pricing?
- The old rates started at $800 a month and ran up to $7,000 a month. Local service providers simply cannot carry that in today's economy, and too many agencies have promised a lot and delivered little while taking money out of owners' pockets. So the model changed: pay for what you need, no retainers, and prices published up front.
- Why does the website build start at $300?
- Because $300 is a fair $60 per page for a complete five-page website. Hosting is $50 a month starting 30 days after checkout, and pages, blog writing, or ads management get added only when you want them. Fair, affordable marketing should be available to every local business.
- Do you work with SaaS or e-commerce businesses?
- Preston has worked with SaaS and e-commerce over the years, but the $300 offer and the current model are built for local service providers only. SaaS, e-commerce, and national brands can still get a custom scope conversation.
