Do I need to be tech-savvy to work with you?+
Not at all. Most of my clients have never had a website before. I handle everything — you don't need to know anything about web design, SEO, or Google. I'll explain what I'm doing in plain language, and you just tell me about your business.
How long does it take to build a website?+
Typically 1–2 weeks from when we start. Since I build a free demo first, you'll see a working version of your site before we finalize anything. Once you're happy, I can usually have it live within a few days.
What if I already have a website?+
No problem — I can either rebuild it from scratch or improve what you have. I'll take an honest look at your current site and tell you whether it's worth fixing or better to start fresh. Either way, I'll show you a demo before you commit to anything.
How much does it cost?+
It depends on what you need, but I'm priced for small local businesses — not agency rates. Most projects start around $500–$800 for a full website with SEO included. Monthly maintenance and SEO packages start around $150/month. I'll give you a clear number after our first conversation — no surprises.
What's included in local SEO?+
Local SEO means making your business show up when someone in your town searches for what you do. I handle keyword research, on-page optimization, Google Business Profile setup, local citation building, and monthly reporting so you can track your rankings.
What is a Google Business Profile and why do I need one?+
It's the listing that shows up on Google Maps and the right side of search results when someone searches for your type of service nearby. It shows your hours, phone number, photos, and reviews. Without it properly set up, you're invisible in local search — even if you have a website.
How long before I start showing up on Google?+
For Google Business Profile, you can start showing up in Maps within a few weeks of setup. For organic website rankings, SEO typically takes 2–4 months to kick in — but it compounds over time. I'll be upfront with you about realistic timelines.
Do I own my website?+
Yes — 100%. Your site, your domain, your hosting. I don't hold anything hostage. If you ever want to move on or manage it yourself, I'll hand everything over cleanly.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?+
Mostly local businesses in Perth County and surrounding area — trades, contractors, shops, restaurants, service businesses. If you're a local business that needs to be found online, I can help.
What happens after the site is live?+
That's up to you. Some clients hand it off and that's it. Others keep me on for monthly SEO, updates, and Google Business management. I offer maintenance packages if you want ongoing support, or I can train you to manage it yourself. No pressure either way.
