A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Let’s clear
things up.

How will we stay in touch?+

You’ll have a direct point of contact for questions, feedback and updates. We can arrange phone calls and scheduled reviews, with day-to-day communication by email. Your proposal explains support availability and response times.

What do I receive each month?+

Your plan sets out the services and amount of work included each month. We choose the priorities with you, complete and test the updates, then send a summary of the work and recommendations. Any work outside your plan requires a separate quote and your approval.

Can you take over an existing website?+

Yes. We begin with a review of your platform, access, performance and current issues. Then we recommend whether to improve what you have or plan a rebuild.

Do I need a monthly plan to work with you?+

No. You can hire us for a one-time project. Monthly support is available when you need regular updates, technical help and ongoing improvements.

How much will my project cost?+

Tell us what you’d like to achieve and share your website address and budget, if you have them. We’ll recommend a starting point and provide a quote before work begins. You don’t need a technical brief, and there’s no obligation to proceed.

What does small-business AI consulting include?+

We help with specific tasks, such as drafting routine replies, finding information in your internal documents or moving information between tools. We assess whether AI is suitable, help set up the process and train your team. You control access to business information and review important results.

Are hosting, ad spend and software included?+

Your proposal lists the services included and any additional costs. Shopify hosting is part of your Shopify subscription. For other websites, we can help arrange hosting suited to the platform. Advertising spend, third-party apps and AI subscriptions are separate costs unless your proposal says otherwise.

Do you guarantee rankings or ad results?+

We track results and use them to guide improvements. Search rankings, traffic and advertising returns depend on many factors, so we cannot guarantee a particular position, sales volume or return on ad spend.
