> Prairie Giraffe is Kellee Carroll, a one-person web, search and software business based in Gillette, Wyoming, working with small and mid-size businesses across the US. Kellee builds websites, helps businesses get found on Google and in AI search (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and others), automates repetitive office work, and builds custom software. Ten years in business. Clients talk to Kellee directly, start to finish.

Key facts:
- Owner: Kellee Carroll. Location: Gillette, Wyoming, USA. Serves Gillette, Moorcroft, Casper, Sheridan, the rest of Wyoming, and businesses anywhere in the US.
- Who it's for: owners and teams at small and mid-size businesses, especially trades, contractors, industrial, oilfield service, professional services and local service companies.
- How work starts: (1) Let's talk, free, by form or call. (2) Get The Plan, a paid deep dive for bigger projects that maps the work, the price and the timeline; websites usually just get a quote. (3) Kellee does the work; nothing goes live without the client's OK.
- Pricing: no public price list. Every project is priced before work starts. Free visibility check is free.
- Custom software can be "Managed" (Kellee hosts and maintains it for a monthly fee) or "Own it" (the client gets the code and documentation). Client data always belongs to the client.
- AI use: Kellee uses AI to work faster; a person checks everything, and AI does not talk to a client's customers on its own unless the client wants it to.
