What does Studio Reidel do?
Studio Reidel is a design-and-build studio in Manila that does three things: websites and landing pages, AI chat agents, and the search work that gets both found by Google and by AI assistants. All three exist to do the same job, which is to turn the people already looking for your business into customers who actually book. Every project is designed, written, and built in-house, so the person who replies to your email is the person doing the work.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
Mostly Philippine small businesses that live or die on first impressions: bars, gyms, barbershops, clinics, and property developers. The portfolio covers a rooftop cocktail bar in BGC, a gym in Malate, a barbershop in Makati, a pre-selling condo showcase, an AI front desk for a dental practice, a self-serve 3D-printing quote tool, and a Manila DJ collective whose site also runs its reservations and door check-in. Four began as concepts built to prove the approach; three are live and in use.
Who will I actually be working with?
Reidel, the founder. Studio Reidel is a one-person operation on purpose, so the person you message is the person designing and building your site. You are not paying for an account manager to forward your emails. Work starts the week you say yes, rather than after a month of discovery meetings.
How much does a website or AI chatbot cost?
A one-page site starts at ₱20,000 if you bring the words and the photos. At ₱30,000 we write it and art-direct it, and that tier is where the AI chat agent and the AI-answer setup come in. A five to ten page business site is ₱70,000, and larger jobs, a multi-page site for an established business or a set of sites for one group, are quoted on their own and start around ₱115,000. On a site you already have, an AI chat agent is ₱45,500 to set up plus ₱7,500 a month to run. Three things move the number: how many pages the site needs, whether we're also writing the copy and art-directing the photos, and whether an AI agent only answers questions or has to book appointments too. Tell us what you're making and what it has to do, and you'll get an honest recommendation and a straight quote back, usually within the day, and it costs you nothing.
How much does the SEO and AI search work cost?
Three ways in, depending on what you need. If we build the site, the search and AI-answer foundation is included, because it is how we build anyway. If you only want the search work on a site you already have, it is ₱16,000 to set up and then ₱5,000 a month to keep it current, which covers the technical side staying fresh and a couple of small content edits. If the site itself is dated, the retrofit is a one-off ₱42,000: we audit it, then modernise the markup, the structured data, and the pages that answer the questions people actually type. Anything past what the monthly covers gets quoted before it starts, so the bill stays predictable for both of us. What none of it buys is a promised ranking, because nobody can sell you that honestly.
Can you get my business to the top of Google?
No one can promise that, and any vendor who does is guessing with your money. What can be promised is the part that is actually in anyone's control: a site Google and the AI assistants can read properly, with clean markup, structured data, honest dates, and pages that answer the questions people are really typing. That is what makes a site eligible to rank and easy for ChatGPT or Perplexity to quote correctly. Position itself comes from that foundation plus a verified Google Business Profile, real reviews, and mentions building up over months. For a brand-new site, expect three to six months before local traction means much.
What is GEO, and why does it matter now?
GEO is generative engine optimisation, which means being the business an AI assistant names when someone asks it for a recommendation instead of searching. More customers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI answers for a bar, a clinic, or a gym, and those tools quote sites they can parse. That means structured data, question-shaped content, a readable llms.txt, and text that exists in the HTML rather than appearing after JavaScript runs. This site does all of it, which is why it can be used as the sample.
How do I know it will be worth the money?
You don't have to take our word for it. Every project on this page links to the live site, so you can open them on your phone and judge the work before you spend a peso. The quote is free and specific to your business, you see real screens before the build starts, and the site goes live on a domain in your own name. If the honest answer is that a new site is not what your business needs right now, you will be told that instead of sold something.
Do you work with businesses outside Manila?
Yes. The studio is based in Manila and works with clients across the Philippines, including Taguig, Makati, and Quezon City, as well as remotely. Briefing, drafts, revisions, and launch all run over email and Messenger, so where you are rarely comes up.
