FAQ

Questions small business owners actually ask.

Straight answers. No jargon.

What if I want to cancel?

There is a 6-month minimum commitment, which is how long it takes to see real SEO results. After that, cancel anytime with 30 days notice. No penalties. If you leave, I export your entire site and hand it over.

Do I own the website?

Yes, 100%. Your domain, your content, your code, your data. If you ever leave, I package everything up and transfer it to you. No lock-in, no hostage situations.

What does each plan include?

Starter ($220/mo) covers a custom website up to 8 pages, contact form with auto-reply, Google Maps, GBP setup, and basic SEO and security. Growth ($370/mo) adds unlimited pages, 10 suburb SEO pages, full CRM with lead tracking, admin panel, daily lead summary email, and 2 content updates per month. Full Service ($470/mo) adds 16+ suburb pages, full CRM analytics, ongoing GBP management, business email, and priority support.

Why no upfront cost?

I build your site as an investment in the relationship, not a transaction. You pay monthly, I keep your site fast, secure, and generating leads. This model aligns my incentives with yours.

What do I need to provide?

Your business details, a few photos of your work (phone photos are fine), and 15 minutes on a call. I handle everything else: design, development, copywriting, SEO, hosting, and launch.

How long until my site is live?

14 days from our first call. You get a preview link to review on your phone before it goes live. Google typically starts indexing within 1-2 weeks after launch.

Which plan do most clients choose?

Growth at $370/mo. It hits the sweet spot: unlimited pages, full CRM, suburb SEO pages, and the admin panel. hipages charges $419/mo for shared leads. With Growth, every lead that comes through your site is yours alone.

Can I upgrade or add things later?

Absolutely. Start on Starter and move to Growth or Full Service when you are ready. You can also bolt on add-ons at any time, including Google Ads management, blog content, or extra suburb pages.

No Lock-In

6-month minimum, then month-to-month. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice. No penalties, no hassles.

Full Ownership

Your website, your domain, your content, your data. If you leave, you take everything with you.
