Who, what, and where
- Who
Mark Kendrick
Mark Kendrick started Kendrick Mountain Consulting to help San Bernardino Mountains businesses get found online and turn that attention into customers. Local, in person, with boots on the ground. About Mark.
- What
Websites and search
Website development, SEO, AEO, and GEO — clear, useful information for people searching in Google and AI-powered tools.
- Where
San Bernardino Mountains
Most of the week in the mountains, with a strong focus on Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead, plus the Rim communities on the service area page.
- Who it is for
Mountain businesses
Mountain businesses that need to be found: lodging, dining, retail, contractors, and other local services — whether they serve year-round residents, seasonal visitors, or both.
Turn what you know into pages customers can actually use.
Owners already have the stories, examples, and lessons customers need. Mark draws that out, then uses it for service pages and answers. AI can organize a draft. You confirm the facts.
Keep reading. You can see how that conversation works on the about page and on turning owner knowledge into website content. The bigger search plan is SEO for Google, with AEO and GEO beside it. Read about it on SEO, AEO, and GEO. If you want to know how your business shows up in AI tools, that work is called AI search optimization. You can see the monthly plans on the pricing page.
Work you can look at
These notes cover two client websites shown with permission, Mark’s own site, and projects already described in his record. No rankings or lead counts are added.
The notes cover Cyndi Sells SoCal, Land Development Specialists, this website, a buyer’s guide for people considering a mountain property, on a client real estate project, and golf-course service pages.
How to schedule an in-person meeting
Mark is available year-round and can communicate seven days a week. He is generally in the San Bernardino Mountains Tuesday through Friday, with a strong focus on Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead. In-person consulting sessions are by appointment. A meeting is a chance to sit down, listen to what you want to grow, and look at the website you already have.
Phone care is on every monthly plan, from Plan 1 through Plan 10. You can call in with knowledge-base questions. No writing is needed. Full Care — Plans 7 through 10 — includes one in-person website review each year. Plan 6 includes one yearly in-person review as well. On Plans 1 through 5, that review is $200 per session.
Everything your business needs to be found
The website and the search plan should share one purpose: help the right people find you, understand the business, and take the next step. If you already have a site, a review of what is getting in the way can come first. SEO for San Bernardino County mountain-town businesses is the work for nearby customers. What’s the bottom line: rankings are not promised. The work is.

Site review details
Built for mountain businesses
Seasons, residents, and visitors change what people search for. Some businesses depend on a short busy window. Content should be ready before that window — not after it has already started.
Someone planning a trip from home, down the hill, needs different information from someone who already lives on the mountain. Marketing to visitors planning a mountain trip from home covers that.
San Bernardino Mountains service area
Local marketing works better when the page is actually about that town. Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead are the strong focus. Big Bear has pages for Big Bear web design, local SEO, and digital marketing. For search help in that town, see SEO in Big Bear. Lake Arrowhead does too: Lake Arrowhead web design and local SEO. Crestline, Cedar Glen, Arrowbear, and Green Valley Lake each have their own page, written about that community. You can find every town on the service area page. Lodging has its own page for hotels, lodges, and resorts. Cabin owners can read websites for vacation rentals. Plumbers, electricians, and heating and cooling companies can read websites for mountain trades and home services.

Questions
Who is Kendrick Mountain Consulting?
Mark Kendrick runs it from Big Bear and works with local businesses there and in Lake Arrowhead.
What services do you provide?
Website development plus SEO, AEO, GEO, local search, a review of the site you already have, and turning owner knowledge into website content. They are meant to work together so people searching in Google, on the map, and in AI-powered tools find clear information and a next step.
What are GEO and AEO?
AEO is organizing clear answers to the questions people ask. GEO considers how that information may show up in generative AI answers. SEO still matters. Rankings and AI mentions are not promised.
Where do you work?
The San Bernardino Mountains. He is based in Big Bear and serves San Bernardino Mountains businesses. Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead are the main towns. The site lists service towns. Big Bear feels more like a tourism hub; Lake Arrowhead feels more connected to residential life and second-home ownership, with visitor activity too.
Who is this for?
Mountain businesses that need to be found. Lodging, vacation rentals, ski and activity companies, and visitor shops often depend heavily on tourists. Plumbers, electricians, heating and cooling, auto repair, and other everyday services often depend more on year-round residents and property owners. Many businesses serve a mix. The site should match the customers that owner actually wants.
How does a project start?
By listening. Which services do you want to grow? Who are you trying to reach? How do customers find you now? Then a review of the website: is it accurate, current, and easy to call, visit, book, or ask for more information? That review can be the first step if you already have a site.
How will I know what work was done?
A log of completed work tied to the agreed strategy: what changed, why it mattered, and what comes next. Rankings can help understand progress. The larger goal is attracting customers. The longer answer is on how you know what work was done.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No. No one can promise a certain ranking, placement in an AI answer, or a specific number of customers. The commitment is research, a clear plan, documented work, and honest communication.
How do I get my business to show up on Google Maps in Big Bear?
Verify your Google Business Profile, set Big Bear Lake or Big Bear City as your service area or town, choose the most specific category, and make your website say the same name, town, and phone. Kendrick Mountain Consulting does this for mountain businesses.
Do I need separate pages for Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead?
If you serve both, yes. Each page should say what you do in that town in plain words, so Google and AI tools can match you to searches there.
Why does ChatGPT recommend other businesses and not mine?
AI tools name businesses that several sources agree on: your website, Google, Bing, and local directories. If those disagree or are missing, you are easy to skip. Kendrick Mountain Consulting checks and fixes them.
