FAQ
Questions We Get Asked
Straight answers to the questions trades business owners ask us most.
How long does it take to build a new website?
Most websites are designed, built, and launched within 2–4 weeks. The timeline depends on how quickly we receive content, feedback, and approvals from you. We keep the process tight and communicate at every stage so there are no surprises.
Can you redesign my existing site or do I need to start over?
Both options are available. If your current site has a solid foundation, we can redesign and optimize it. If it’s built on a platform that limits SEO performance, we may recommend rebuilding on WordPress with Elementor Pro. We’ll give you an honest recommendation after reviewing your current site.
How long does it take to show up on Google Maps?
Google Maps rankings typically start improving within 30–90 days of optimization, depending on your market’s competitiveness. Some clients see movement within the first 30 days. We set realistic expectations and show you progress through monthly reporting.
Why isn't my business showing up when people search for my service?
There are several common reasons: your Google Business Profile may be incomplete or unoptimized, your website may lack the right local SEO signals, or your competitors may have stronger authority. Our visibility audit identifies exactly what’s holding you back and gives you a clear action plan.
What's the difference between Google Ads and local SEO?
Google Ads (PPC) delivers immediate visibility by paying for placement — you show up instantly but stop appearing when you stop paying. Local SEO builds organic rankings that grow over time and don’t disappear when you stop paying. Most businesses benefit from both: ads for immediate leads while SEO builds long-term authority.
Do I need to post on my Google Business Profile?
Yes — regular posting signals to Google that your business is active and engaged, which positively impacts your Maps ranking. We handle this for you as part of our Google Business Profile management service, posting updates, offers, and content on a consistent schedule.
What areas do you serve?
We primarily serve businesses in Ocala, Marion County, and the greater Orlando area. However, we work with clients across Florida and nationally for businesses that need digital marketing without a local geographic focus.
How do I get started?
The first step is a free 20–30 minute intro call. We’ll discuss your business, your current online presence, and what you’re trying to achieve. There’s no obligation — just an honest conversation about whether we’re a good fit.
