Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about websites, SEO, pricing and what happens after launch. Don't see your question? Ask me directly.
Getting started
What do I need to get started?
A 15-minute call, your logo (or I'll make a simple one), photos of your work and a list of your services and the towns you cover. I write the rest with you.
How long does a new website take?
Most sites launch 7–14 days after we agree on the page plan. Online stores, large sites and custom software take longer, and you get a timeline in writing before we start.
Who will I actually work with?
Me. You talk directly to the person who designs, builds and runs your site, not an account manager passing messages along.
Do you build apps and custom software too?
Yes. Booking systems, client portals, quote calculators, crew scheduling, AI assistants and iOS/Android apps. Tell me the problem and I'll send a fixed quote.
Websites and ownership
Do I own my website?
Yes. Your domain, content and photos belong to you. If you ever leave, I hand everything over.
How fast will my site be?
Sites are built to load in about a second on a phone and score 90+ on Google PageSpeed. Speed is one of the things Google measures, and visitors leave slow sites.
Can I make changes myself?
Yes. The admin panel lets you edit text, upload photos, add services and change prices without touching code. If you'd rather not, send me a message and I'll do it.
I already have a website. Will I lose my rankings?
No. I keep the pages that already rank, set up redirects for anything that moves, and watch Google Search Console after launch.
Do you work with WordPress?
Yes. I build custom WordPress and WooCommerce sites and maintain existing ones. For many service businesses a modern Next.js site is faster and needs less upkeep, and I'll recommend whichever fits you better.
SEO and marketing
Can you guarantee first place on Google?
No honest SEO can guarantee a position, because Google decides rankings. What I do commit to: technically sound pages, new optimized content every month, Google Business Profile work and a clear report so you can see the progress. Local rankings usually start moving within 3–6 months.
How will I know it's working?
Every month you get a short report with calls, form leads, rankings for your main searches and what I worked on. No jargon.
Do you run Google Ads too?
Yes. Search Ads and Local Services Ads, with call tracking so you can see your cost per lead. Ads bring calls quickly while SEO builds.
Do you post fake reviews or buy links?
Never. Those tactics break Google's rules and can get your listing or site penalized. I help you collect real reviews and earn real local links.
Pricing and plans
Is there a contract?
No. Monthly plans are month to month and you can cancel anytime.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep your website. I hand over the code, content and logins, and help you move hosting if you want to.
How do you price custom software and apps?
After a short discovery call I write a clear scope and a fixed quote. If anything changes, we agree on it in writing before extra work starts.
Can I start small and add services later?
Yes. Most owners start with a website and the Care plan, then add SEO, ads or software once the basics are working.
