CI Web Group

CI Web Group, founded in 2006 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, builds websites and marketing systems specifically for trades and professional service businesses — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and garage-door companies. The agency serves more than 1,000 such businesses across 48 U.S. states and Canada, working from a niche focus rather than a general client roster.

Work runs through Hydra OS, a proprietary AI-enabled website platform that anchors the agency's approach to web design and development, SEO, AEO (answer engine optimization), GEO (generative engine optimization), and local marketing. Clients can add capability through the Hydra OS Component Store, and engagements operate without long-term contracts, using a 30-day notice arrangement in which clients retain ownership of their assets. Beyond the core platform, CI Web Group also offers AI training and consulting, plus autonomous agent development for businesses looking to extend automation past the website itself.

A team of 47 full-time operators supports this client base, giving the agency enough internal capacity to manage both the platform and the marketing services layered on top of it — website builds, technical and local SEO, content SEO, conversion rate optimization, marketing automation, lead generation, and analytics reporting. The combination of a trades-specific client base, a named proprietary platform, and a no-contract operating model distinguishes how the agency structures its relationship with home-service and professional-service businesses.
