FAQ

Do I need to provide my own domain name?

No, but if you already have one and would like us to use it we can move it to our registrar so we can handle everything for you in the future.

The cost and management of your domain is included in your maintenance package but if you ever leave us and want to keep your domain name, we simply transfer it to you.

What is ongoing SEO?

Ongoing SEO (search engine optimisation) refers to the continuous process of optimising your website to maintain and improve its visibility in search engine results over time.

We do this using various tried and tested techniques such as tweaking the text on your pages and building links to your website over time.

This sustained effort helps your website overcome your competitors sites and ensures your website remains relevant and ranks well for the long haul. Ongoing SEO is part of your Advanced and Premier packages.

What is SMS and email automations?

When someone requests a quote via your website form you will receive an email with their details. However, you may be busy or it could be the weekend so we send an automated email letting the potential customer know that we received the quote request and that you will be in touch shortly.

Similarly, when someone sends a message via the text chat widget, we send a text reply back to their phone informing them that you will get back to them as soon as you can.

What is the missed call text back rescue system

Another automated system, this one sends a text message to the caller if you failed to answer or was on another call. The automation waits a minute so as to appear human, before sending. The message reads "Sorry I missed your call, I was with a customer. How can I help you today?"

This is a game changer for home services.

Typically, someone who needs a roofer urgently for example, will quickly move down the Google results to the next company until someone answers or says they have availability. By sending the text message the person will stop what they're doing to reply to the text and then wait for a further response.

This automation sells for £247 a month as a stand alone system and is included in our Advanced & Premier package. It can be purchased on its own and we do offer discounts for it if you rent one our websites.

When will my website be ready?

Once we receive your completed onboarding form we aim to have your website live within 7 working days

Do I need to supply my own photos?

Not at all. We can use our huge library of stock photos to get you live and then if you want us to swap out the images with your own over time we can do that for you.

Do I own the website and its images?

Any photos or other material that you provide to us belongs to you. All other website elements and the code we use to build the site are leased by you from us. You are granted the right to use the website we create and maintain for you as long as you remain our customer.

What happens when I want to update or edit the website?

Just drop us an email and we’ll get it sorted for you. Your service agreement with us includes at least a half hour of content updates (content changes, updates, photos, etc) per month, which we’ve found to be more than enough to take care of everything typically needed to keep your website information up to date.

What if I need additional pages?

We can add additional pages or special functionality to your site on an as-needed basis, and we are always happy to discuss options and costs for whatever you have in mind.

Do you handle software updates?

Yes, that’s all included in your monthly service. We regularly scan your website to ensure it stays safe from hacks, malware and other threats, and we ensure the back end software that powers your website and systems is kept constantly up to date.

Is hosting included?

Yes it is.

Think of us as another utility company. You pay us a monthly fee to take care of everything for you, from your website to your online marketing strategies.
