Before you ask
Cost questions, answered straight
Yes. It covers speed and mobile checks on your current site, Google visibility and Business Profile status, and a short written report naming the three fixes that matter most. There is no obligation, and it is the place most clients start.
Full builds are 40% to start and 60% at launch — a deposit books the build and the balance is due when the site goes live. The One-Page Starter is $59/month with a 12-month minimum, or $499 one-time plus a care plan. Quotes are fixed in writing before work starts and valid for 14 days.
Copywriting, a mobile-first build, and the SEO foundation: Search Console set up, sitemap submitted, titles and meta written, local schema, and indexing checked. Google Business Profile setup and analytics are included on Launch and above.
The live targets are 10 business days from content intake for Launch, 15 business days for Growth, and 20–25 business days for Commerce.
Care plans cover hosting, SSL and domain renewal management, security monitoring, backups, uptime checks, platform updates and a monthly allowance of content edits. Plans are month-to-month after any initial term; cancel with 30 days' notice and your site files and content export are handed over.
No. Every build includes the SEO foundation — the site is indexed, submitted to Google, and structured for local search — and ongoing SEO runs through the care plans, because rankings are built over months. We never guarantee rankings.
