About Beartooth Labs
Built in Missoula, for the businesses around us.
Beartooth Labs exists for one reason: too many good local businesses are invisible online — and the people searching for them end up somewhere else.
Why we do this
Search has changed. It used to be enough to have a website and a Google listing. Today your customers move between Google Search, Google Maps, AI assistants, review sites, and social platforms before they ever contact you — and every one of those places is either working for your business or against it.
Most local business owners don't have time to keep up with that, and most agencies respond with jargon, long contracts, and reports nobody reads. Beartooth Labs takes a different approach: look at the facts, explain them in plain language, and fix the things that actually bring in customers — calls, bookings, appointments, quotes, and foot traffic.
We practice what we recommend. This website is built the way we build for clients: fast, accessible, structured so search engines and AI systems can understand it, and honest about what we offer and what it costs.
