Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, direct answers about websites, business formation, and Google Ads for small businesses and startups.
How much does a small business website cost?
A professional, mobile-first starter website typically runs $100–$500 for a clean one-to-three page site that shows up in local search and captures leads. Custom builds with booking, e-commerce, or advanced features are quoted per project based on scope. The goal is to get you online fast and correctly, then improve over time — a fast, SEO-optimized one-page site beats a slow, unfinished "big" site every time.
What's included in business formation services?
A complete formation package — starting around $199 plus state fees — includes LLC, S-Corp, or C-Corp filing with the state of your choice, EIN registration with the IRS, registered agent service to receive official legal and tax mail, and an operating agreement or corporate bylaws tailored to your business. We also guide you on business licenses and banking setup so your entity is ready to operate from day one.
How long does it take to see results from Google Ads?
Google Ads can generate leads within days of launching, but it typically takes 2–4 weeks of optimization to dial in performance. We start conservatively, gather data, add negative keywords to cut wasted spend, and scale what works. The number that matters most is cost-per-lead — not clicks — and that stabilizes after the first few weeks of testing.
How much should I spend on Google Ads?
A reasonable starting budget for a local service business is often $500–$1,500 a month in ad spend, plus a management fee. The right number depends on your industry's click costs and how many leads you need. Your ad budget goes directly to Google — we never mark it up — and we work to lower your cost-per-lead over time.
Do I need a new website, or can you fix my current one?
Both. We build new sites from scratch, but we also audit and improve existing sites — fixing slow load times, adding proper schema markup, improving mobile layout, and wiring up contact forms that actually reach you. If your current site is hurting you in Google search or losing mobile visitors, a targeted rebuild is often cheaper than you think.
