Answers to commonly asked questions: FAQ for Website, SEO, Video, and Marketing Solutions.

When you invest in a website it should be based on the likelihood that the site will contribute to your overall success. We’re digital growth experts that do a lot more than just build websites. Our goal is to build you a site that will perform. Think about the bigger picture, and how your website can be used to get you there. A simple site with amazing content is probably more valuable than a feature-rich technically amazing site with weak direction and no strategy. The best thing you can do is start a conversation with us. There are affordable website options at every level. We can help you find the right balance between ongoing and upfront investment to meet your budget.

Fixed Pricing: Some companies charge $7,000 once for a website, while others charge $900 once.

Recurring Pricing: Some companies charge $1000 a month while others charge $30 per month.

Considering that some websites are worth millions and others are worth nothing, or even lose money, it should come as no surprise that people invest in websites at every level.

We can promise you one thing: none of these website businesses are designed to fail. They will all (hopefully), get enough money to pay themselves and their employees and stay in business. We could probably beat any given price on the internet. Do you want the $30/month service? MAYBE. But there is a difference between what you PAY and what it COSTS your business.

We will give you our best advice, and you can take that advice and do what you want. That’s our reason for not automating our website sales process with a fixed pricing model (even though that is easier).

Yes, we do build eCommerce websites in WordPress using WooCommerce. We also build Multisites, Multilocation websites, LMS websites, Event Sites, Microsites, Landing Pages, and a lot more. We have a lot of experience filling those sites with unique content and promoting them as well, so this is very helpful to us as developers since this gives us an advantage over other developers. You don’t need to remind us of SEO, conversion rate optimization, bulk coupon features, multilocation maps, or advanced sales funnels or opt-ins. We know where to put the CTA, how to integrate tracking, and what a good “Lead Magnet” looks like.

Yes, we build websites for Franchisors that allow them to have full control over their franchisee sites or sub-sites. We have years of experience doing this special type of website project. From the Information Architecture, Content Marketing, and the ongoing maintenance and hosting of large international franchise sites, you’ll be in very competent hands when working with us for your new, aspiring, or existing franchise. Just let us know what you need, and we can probably help you.

Typically 3-6 weeks. Some sites take months and others days or weeks. An online learning platform website or e-commerce website or a multi-location website or multisite might be on the longer side. A business startup without logos or brand guides or really much insight into the best user experience should probably take a little more time to think about the way their users interact with the site, and there could be some additional time needed to create content and special features. At the same time, a company that just needs a place to share their information, can work with existing content and wants their site live yesterday, can most likely get away with doing less upfront and adding more pages after the launch date. It’s really flexible, and when possible your website build should not be rushed. Also, websites are never really done. It’s like a house. There’s always something you should be working on or some addition you would love to have. If you ignore either, then it will eventually fall apart, and a good plan followed by a strong foundation is absolutely essential.

Yes, if you would like professional-level hosting and maintenance for your website we have been providing this for our clients for at least 8 years. We also offer cheap website hosting on a shared but powerful cloud server and dedicated hosting for multi-location businesses and franchises with hundreds of websites. Our hosting is typically part of a more comprehensive plan to assure your website stays updated, secure, and backup, but some clients choose to do this in-house if they have an IT person, and that is perfectly fine. In other words, you can get everything you need from us regarding your website project, and you can safely expect the absolute best website hosting and support at more than reasonable rates.

Yes. SEO is a multifaceted area of work that spans many unique skill sets. Quality SEO requires actual experts to do right. We happen to be highly competent SEOs who can proudly wear that title and deliver results.

One of the more difficult challenges in SEO is how to implement technical SEO improvements on the website and how to maintain SEO best practices for new and existing content on the website.

Being developers and content creators for our clients have given us a unique advantage in this regard. We have refined the process of going from strategy to execution over many years, and we have bridged this gap between SEO best practices and actual implementation.

Our business is driven by SEO [and referrals] so SEO is near and dear to us. SEO has allowed us to scale and compete in very competitive markets. It’s one of the reasons we’ve been around for over 10 years.

You need a company that understands content creation, code, copywriting, user experience, and marketing on top of the core skills required for an SEO to do the job well (such as link-building, technical optimization, website audits, site structure, anchor text, schema, semantic SEO, inverted indexes, and on and on).

That said, it’s not that complicated. SEO is simply about making life easier for Search Engines and that means making life easier for the End User. We can help.

No. It’s really hard to affordably outsource SEO services and not risk the health of your site. The people who work on your SEO are professionals, not factory workers from overseas.

Look, we know many highly skilled SEOs who are overseas. If you’re a good SEO you can and should work from wherever you are comfortable. But that should not be confused with discount SEO farms with low or no-skill workers, from anywhere.

So no, we don’t outsource or resell white-labeled SEO services. We also don’t provide discount SEO Disservices. We don’t promise “top #1 position for your keywords or your money back.” Or any service that sounds too good to be true.

We do implement lots of fancy tools which is kind of like outsourcing… Tools like Screaming Frog, Ahrefs, or Sitebulb, are third-party tools run by people much smarter than us, and they are not cheap, but it is important to know that we stay connected to the data when working on your SEO and we are not in a Silo. In this way, we work with many of the greatest SEOs money can buy.

If you want discount SEO and if you really only have a few hundred dollars to invest in SEO, you don’t have the resources to make costly mistakes. Talk to a professional first. We can tell you how to get the most value from your investment. What you don’t want to do is jump into some cheap service that will string you along for months without providing any tangible data or insight.

Yes.

Of course, not everyone can be top of page one for the most competitive keywords. Not everyone deserves to be either. We help our clients become worthy of Page 1 results.

Being top of page 1 means more clicks, more visitors, and possibly more conversions. That position can be worth millions, and the companies who are there know the value. So don’t expect to shake them off the tree that easily. More than likely we’ll need to grow around that tree like a vine and slowly take all the available light.

But you need to be dedicated to the process, the “long game”, and you need to trust the experts. There is nothing worse than investing in SEO for 3 months, not seeing results, and then stopping work. It would be better to invest in your own content for 3 months, and then call us when you’re serious about gaining Page-1 position.

There is a ton of value in showing up where your customers are and answering their questions. You can increase your expertise and trust just by answering one search inquiry at a time. There are hundreds of terms you can rank for on page 1. The trick is how to find them, and systematically get your content moving up the search engine rank position (SERP).

No, because we can’t guarantee your budget, we can’t guarantee your competitors’ effort, and we can’t guarantee what search engines will do next. We can’t do all the work and accept all the risks either.

Want the greatest chances of success? Create an SEO Strategy with a real SEO Consultant, stick with it, be consistent, stay flexible, know your KPIs, and evaluate the ROI of your long-term goals.

If we know your budget, and we know your market, and the competition we can normally take an educated guess as to what we can accomplish per quarter and year.

We have been doing SEO for over 10 years, and we are also really good at creating and optimizing the assets you need to actually rank (websites, blogs, videos, graphics, etc).

So understand that we can’t make any promises or even suggest your best course of action without a detailed SEO audit. So that’s step one: request an audit.

Also, our clients can see their SEO data anytime, and there are no long-term contracts. We work within your budget and we consider ourselves good human beings for whatever that’s worth.
