General
Can you help me choose and register my website name?
Your domain name is extremely important for SEO (Search Engine Optimization). The best option is to include your main business keywords in your domain name. We are willing to help you find the best options for your business.
What are the costs to register my domain?
The cost of domain registration starts at .50 per year. You can choose from several hosting companies.
How long will it take to have my website built?
We can deliver most websites within 2 weeks after all of the content and images are delivered to us.
How many pages can my website have?
We have no limit on the number of pages. Our basic package starts with up to 10 pages.
Do websites come with page sliders or flash programming?
We offer page sliders on websites. However, we do not recommend flash programming as it is not responsive on mobile.
Do you help with the content for my website?
Yes we can, for an additional fee we can help with content or images on your site.
How do I direct more visitors to my website?
We provide SEO (Search Engine Optimization ) packages for our customers. All of our websites are designed to be SEO friendly. After your final approval, we submit your website to major search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.) free of charge. If you do not put basic SEO into your website, potential customers using search engines will not be able to find your site. This is the most crucial role of your website.
Do you offer monthly maintenance?
Our main goal is to keep our customers happy. We offer our customers affordable maintenance packages.
WEB DEVELOPMENT
WHAT IS THE COST FOR A NEW WEBSITE?
It depends on multiple factors, mostly on your wishes and requirements, as well as the complexity of the project. We do not offer flat packages.
HOW LONG DOES WEB DEVELOPMENT TAKE?
This will depend on the scale of your project and the nature of your website. We will discuss timeframes with you prior to starting your project.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO COMPLETE A WEBSITE DESIGN?
This depends on the project in question. For a straightforward website, it typically takes between two and three weeks to customize a design, if the content and images are ready for the site. However, more complex designs, designs that involve considerable custom graphic design, sites that require web content writing, etc. will take longer to complete.
It’s also important to note that communication with and approval from the client will be required at various points in the project and that any delays here will affect the timeframe.

I ALREADY HAVE AN OLD WEBSITE, CAN YOU UPDATE IT?
If you already have a website, but it is out of date, not up to current web standards, or a static site and you would like to implement a CMS, we can certainly do this for you. The cost and timeframe to complete such a project will depend on the specifics.
WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM ME TO CREATE A WEBSITE?
If you do not currently have a website, we require details about your company, what you are looking for in a design, any graphical elements that you would like included, a list of pages that you require, a description of your services and your company, as well as any other relevant information that may be beneficial to the creation of the site.
ARE YOUR WEBSITE DESIGNS MOBILE FRIENDLY?
All of our website designs are responsive, meaning that the website is designed to display properly on various devices and screen sizes, including on mobile devices.
DO I OWN THE WEBSITE THAT YOU CREATE?
Yes. Once the design is completed, you own all aspects of the website, unless otherwise specified during the website development process.
WILL I BE ABLE TO UPDATE THE WEBSITE THAT YOU DESIGN?
All of our website designs utilize CMS (Content Management Systems) , making it easy for you to update the site.
DO YOU DESIGN WEBSITES IN FLASH?
No. Flash is not search engine or mobile friendly and several modern browsers do not support Flash.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
What does SEO stand for?
OK, so this one’s kind of complicated… just kidding. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. You engage in SEO when you attempt to get a page to rank higher in a search engine’s SERPs (search engine results pages), with the ultimate goal being to increase organic (unpaid) traffic to that page.
Which is better, SEO or PPC?
This question is a little like asking: Who’s more important to the Patriots, Carlos Queiroz or Cristiano Ronald? You can probably come up with an argument for either; but the reality is, both are vital to the team’s success. The same goes for SEO and PPC (pay-per-click). You couldn’t establish domain authority, organic brand affinity, and really, a wholly formed online presence without SEO. By the same token, you couldn’t granularly target prospects by demographic, behaviors, or keywords without PPC.
How long does it typically take to see results?
SEO is a marathon, not a sprint, especially if your site is new. So much depends on your overall site's health and content, your site's online competition, and your willingness to produce new, quality content on a regular basis. We sometimes see results the first month and sometimes have to wait several months before we start to see progress.
Do you offer any guarantees?
We do not – if we offered guaranteed ROI we would be sitting on the beach right now 🙂

How do you measure SEO success?
Great question. We look at the increase in your organic traffic and conversions.
When will I be #1 in Google?
Unfortunately, we can't guarantee specific results for any particular keywords. We'll select keywords we think are ideal for your website and your business, and try to influence the search engines so that your content comes up in the searches.
It's great fun to be #1, but you don't have to be first to get more traffic and more customers.

Do you follow white hat techniques?
Yes, we only use Google approved and recommended tactics.
Do I have to add new content to see results?
We can optimize your website to let Google know what your pages are about, but if you aren't adding new, quality content on a regular basis, your site probably won't skyrocket in the rankings. Adding new, quality content on a consistent basis is one of the fastest ways to drive new traffic to your website.
SEO CONTENT WRITING
WHAT IS SEO CONTENT WRITING?
It is writing website content to be appealing to both search engines and human users. The goal of SEO content writing is to drive traffic to your website by improving your search engine ranking and to increase conversions through calls to action, detailed writing, etc.
HOW WILL YOU WRITE ABOUT MY COMPANY?
We start by taking the information on your company that currently exists (existing website content, brochures, etc.) and then adapt this content to be SEO-friendly. We may also ask clients questions about their business or request additional information from you depending on your particular situation.
CAN YOU GUARANTEE LEADS WITH SEO CONTENT WRITING?
While our goal is to improve your search engine ranking, increase traffic and turn more visitors into customers, we cannot guarantee a certain number of leads with our SEO content writing services.
WEBSITE HOSTING
What is Web Hosting?
Web hosting is the service of storing data that keeps websites up and running for users. Every single website that is online has a host server, and almost all use a web host to manage that storage. Not all web hosts provide the same level of quality, though. Uptime, and data speed and quantity of transfer are the best measures of a host’s success. You can often pay more to get data transferred in higher quantities, faster. Most web hosts offer unlimited bandwidth and disk space at a speed that is perfectly fine for small-to-moderate sized businesses or individuals. For companies with burdensome websites, they may need to seek out a more advanced web host.
What is a domain name?
A domain name is the actual name of a website, and every single website has a domain name. To obtain one, you need to purchase it through a domain registrar. Domains can cost anywhere from a few dollars a year to hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, based on the contract and popularity of the domain. Every domain name is actually pointing to an IP (Internet Protocol) address, which is a series of numbers. Because most people can’t remember 10 digits in perfect order, domain names serve as easily-remembered alias for visitors. Probably the best known domain name is google.com, and Google’s IP address is 173.194.79.99… which is easier for you to remember?
What is SSL security?
This is an abbreviation for Secure Sockets Layer. This is a common protocol used to communicate information securely online. This protocol provides a safe path that runs between two Internet-connected machines or two machines on the same internal network. It is an extremely handy tool used by web browsers who need to connect securely to a web server, given the wild insecurity inherent in the Internet. SSL usually operates and sets up a secure session with little or no interaction from the person actually visiting the web site. You may notice the browser displaying a padlock or the address showing a padlock and a green bar – those are the hallmarks of SSL doing its magic.
DO YOU OFFER WEB HOSTING?
Yes, we certainly do. We have a promotion offering the first year of web hosting 70% off, if you choose us to create your website.
Google Ads
Do you offer guarantees?
We stand by the value and quality of our work, but we can’t guarantee specific results. However, Google has officially named us a Premier Partner because we’ve shown our strategies work.
How does Google Ads work?
Google Ads is PPC advertising, also known as pay-per-click advertising, is a popular type of online advertising.
In PPC advertising, your business instructs a host (such as Google or Amazon) to display an advertisement on relevant search results or product pages. When a user clicks on your ad, your business is then charged an appropriate cost-per-click (CPC) fee.
To keep spending under control, advertising platforms allow businesses to set campaign budgets for just about everything, including cost per click, daily spend, weekly spend, and lifetime spend.
The purpose of PPC advertising is to get users to click on your ad — and then perform another desirable action, such as making a purchase, subscribing to a blog, or contacting your business.

How do you charge?
Since every project we take on is tailor-made for each client, we can’t offer general pricing information. Feel free to get in touch with us to get a better idea of what high-impact PPC advertising will cost you.
What makes you different from other Google Ads agencies?
