Drew Edmondson
Drew builds and manages websites, Google Business Profiles, AI phone answering and follow-up systems for businesses in Charlottesville and Central Virginia.
He opened Transcending Health, a Charlottesville wellness center, in 2018, so he knows how fast the business side can crowd out the work you actually care about.
I know the pressure because I live it too.
Running Transcending Health means juggling appointments, staff, questions and follow-up on top of the work people come in for. Everything STANDBY builds is something I'd want in my own business: easy to understand, honest about what it does, and built to give you time back.
STANDBY works best for owners who are already good at what they do. When the work is good, being found is usually the missing piece. That's the piece we handle.
One local partner instead of five vendors.
Your website, Google profile, phone line and follow-up all decide whether a customer picks you. STANDBY looks after them together, so nothing gets lost between vendors who never talk to each other.

We start with whatever is costing you the most customers. Every recommendation comes with a plain reason, a clear price and a way to tell if it's working.
- Honest numbers: we tell you what's measured and what's an estimate.
- You own it: your domain, accounts and data stay in your name.
- A person in charge: automation handles routine tasks; Drew handles judgment calls.
- Tested end to end: from the first search to the call, booking and follow-up.
- No mystery: you'll always know what was built and why.
No fake reviews. No ranking promises.
STANDBY doesn't invent reviews, pass off estimates as results or promise a spot on Google. Client work shows up on this site only with the client's permission, and any number we share says whether it was measured or projected.
