Marketing, websites and software for sawmills and lumber yards
Buyers searching for a species, a grade or a custom cut usually find a broker before they find the mill. We get the mill found, keep the website fixing its own problems, and move the tally off the whiteboard.
What does Imagi-Tech do for sawmills and lumber yards?
Imagi-Tech runs search marketing, AI advisory and websites for sawmills and lumber yards across ten Ohio markets, and builds the inventory, kiln and order software behind them. Search marketing is $800 a month for management. Everything else starts with a free audit and a fixed quote in writing. We are based in Marietta, in the hardwood country of southeast Ohio, and most of the work happens remotely.
Sound familiar?
Where sawmills and lumber yards get stuck
Yard inventory sits on a whiteboard and kiln schedules in a notebook, orders live in a legacy database, and the website hasn’t listed a species in years.
Most of it comes down to two things: customers can't find you easily, and the systems you run on were never introduced to each other. We fix them in that order, one written quote at a time.
We start where the work comes in.
Marketing and AI
Found in search, and in the AI answers above it
Most people search, or ask ChatGPT, before they call. These three are where we put most of our effort for sawmills and lumber yards, and they work best together.
Digital Marketing
Mills sell to buyers who search by species, grade and product: “white oak lumber Ohio,” “custom sawing near me,” “firewood by the cord.” We build pages for what you actually sell, set up your Google Business Profile for the yard, and make the mill easy for AI answers to name. The report counts the calls and quote requests.

Digital Marketing for Wood IndustryAI Advisory
AI can turn a photo of a tally sheet into rows, or draft the species and grade descriptions for your site. It cannot guess yield or moisture you never recorded. We start with what you track today and tell you plainly where AI fits and where a database comes first.
How AI advisory worksWebfresh Autopilot
Webfresh Autopilot keeps a mill’s website in working order without a webmaster. It catches yard hours or directions that differ from Google, product pages that went missing, and photos that slow the page on a phone. Changes to the species list or prices wait for you to approve.
How Webfresh Autopilot worksThe systems we end up in
What sawmills and lumber yards run on
Most sawmills and lumber yards run some version of these four. When more customers start finding you, these are the systems that have to keep up.
- Log and lumber inventory by species and grade
- Kiln schedules and moisture records
- Order entry, tally sheets, and shipping
- Grading, yield, and scale tickets
What changes
- Tally that matches the yard without a walk-around
- Kiln and order schedules visible to the whole crew
- Yield reporting you can set prices from

Questions sawmills and lumber yards ask
Can a sawmill get business from search?
Yes, when the pages match how buyers search: by species, grade, product and town. We build those pages and track the calls they bring in. Management is $800 a month.
We have nobody to keep the website updated. Does that matter?
That is what Webfresh Autopilot is for. It finds and fixes technical problems on its own and sends you anything that needs a decision, like a change to the species list.
Can you replace the whiteboard and the old database?
Yes, in stages, so the yard keeps shipping. The free audit looks at what you track now and puts the cost to move it in writing.
Is AI useful for a lumber yard?
In a few places, like reading tally sheets and drafting product descriptions. We tell you which ones are worth it before you spend anything.
Do you come out to the mill?
When the job calls for it. Most work is remote from Marietta, and site visits are planned as full days.
