Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
I work primarily with service-based small businesses such as dentists, lawyers, limos/transportation companies, roofing companies, and other professional service providers. If you’re a small business needing a stronger online presence, we’re a great match.
What services do you offer?
I offer website design/redesign, SEO, local SEO & Google Business Profiles, content marketing, social media management, hosting & care plans, website maintenance, branding assistance, and marketing consulting.
How quickly can we get started?
Once we’ve had our discovery call and signed the agreement, we can begin planning right away. Smaller projects often start within the week; larger builds follow a clear timeline we create together.
Do you work with clients outside Illinois?
Absolutely! While based in Illinois, I work with clients throughout the U.S. Everything can be done remotely through calls, email, and shared tools.
Website Design & Redesign
Do you only build new websites, or can you update an existing one?
Both. I can refresh an existing site, fix SEO issues, update design elements, or build a brand-new site from scratch — whichever best supports your goals.
Will I own my website once it’s done?
Yes. After project completion and fulfillment of the agreement, you own your site and its content.
How long does a typical website redesign take?
Timelines vary based on size and complexity, but most small-to-mid-sized redesigns take 4–8 weeks from kickoff to launch.
Can you help with website hosting?
Absolutely. I offer hosting and website care plans that include updates, backups, security, and support so your site stays healthy long-term.
SEO & Local Visibility
How long does SEO take to see results?
Some improvements happen quickly (better site structure, faster speed, Google Business Page updates), while ranking and traffic gains usually take several months. SEO is a long-term investment, and I set honest expectations from the start.
Do you guarantee first-page rankings?
No credible marketing company or consultant can guarantee a specific Google ranking. What I do guarantee is strong strategy, clear reporting, and SEO best practices that improve visibility over time.
Can you optimize my Google Business Profile?
Yes — I can manage or update your GBP, fix inconsistencies, improve your listing, and help strengthen your local presence.
Do you offer ongoing SEO services?
Yes. Monthly SEO is available for businesses that want sustained growth, continued keyword development, and regular content updates.
Support, Maintenance & Care Plans
What happens after my website launches?
I don’t disappear — you can choose ongoing hosting, site maintenance, and/or monthly marketing support so your website stays secure and updated.
Do you offer website maintenance even if you didn’t build the site?
Yes, as long as the website meets certain standards and is built on a supported platform like WordPress or Drupal.
What’s included in a website care plan?
Care plans typically include updates, backups, security monitoring, uptime checks, performance tweaks, and priority support. Plans vary based on your needs.
Working Together
How often do you communicate during a project?
You’ll receive updates at key phases, and I try to reply to emails the same day. For monthly services, we can schedule regular check-ins.
How much involvement is required from me?
You’ll provide initial information, share goals, and review drafts — but I handle the heavy lifting. My process keeps things simple and organized.
How do payments work?
Projects follow a standard proposal, agreement, and payment schedule. Monthly services are billed on a recurring basis.
What if I need something small updated later?
I offer hourly support and care plans, so even small changes or updates can be handled quickly.

Social Media & Content
Yes. I provide monthly content creation, posting, and strategy tailored to your business and audience.
Absolutely. I offer SEO-friendly blog writing, service page copy, homepage rewrites, and brand-aligned messaging that feels natural and authentic.
I ask questions, review your existing content, learn your style, and write in a tone that feels like you — not generic or “agency-sounding”.
