Question 1

How much does a new website cost?

Accepted Answer

Our custom web design projects start at $3,500. This covers a fully bespoke design, responsive development, fundamental on-page SEO, and conversion rate optimization. Complex builds with advanced integrations or extensive pages will increase the final scope.

Question 2

How much does SEO cost per month?

Accepted Answer

Our ongoing SEO retainers start at $1,500 per month. This includes technical optimization, strategic content creation, local SEO, and authority building to push your site up the rankings and drive qualified traffic.

Question 3

How much does Google Ads / PPC management cost?

Accepted Answer

Our Meta and Google Ads management fee starts at $2,650 per month. This covers strategy, ad creative, campaign setup, continuous testing, and optimization to drive down your Cost Per Acquisition.

Question 4

Is my ad budget included in your management fee, or separate?

Accepted Answer

Your ad budget is completely separate from our management fee. You pay the ad platforms (Google or Meta) directly for the ad spend, while our fee covers the strategic management and creative execution of those campaigns. We recommend a minimum monthly ad spend of $1,000 to $3,000.

Question 5

Do you charge setup or onboarding fees?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we charge a one-time onboarding and setup fee for new marketing retainers, typically ranging from $1,000 to $2,500. This covers the extensive foundational work required: auditing your current accounts, setting up tracking pixels, configuring analytics, and building the initial campaign architecture.

Question 6

Do you require a long-term contract, or is it month-to-month?

Accepted Answer

We require an initial 3-month commitment for SEO and paid ads to allow enough time for data collection and optimization, after which we move to a month-to-month agreement. We don't believe in locking you into long-term contracts; we earn your business every month through results.

Question 7

What's included in a monthly retainer?

Accepted Answer

Our Full Growth Partner retainers (starting at $4,000/month) include ongoing website optimization, paid ads management, SEO, and strategic consulting. You get a dedicated team actively managing your marketing ecosystem to ensure it consistently generates revenue.

Question 8

How long does SEO take to show results?

Accepted Answer

You should expect to see noticeable movement in rankings and traffic within 3 to 6 months. SEO is a compounding, long-term strategy; the initial months are focused on technical fixes and content foundation, while the subsequent months drive the actual lead volume.

Question 9

How fast will I see results from paid ads?

Accepted Answer

Paid ads can start generating leads within the first 2 to 4 weeks of launching the campaigns. The initial phase involves testing different creatives and audiences, and the results typically stabilize and scale efficiently after the first 30 to 60 days.

Question 10

How long does it take to build a website?

Accepted Answer

A standard custom website takes 4 to 8 weeks from the kickoff meeting to the final launch. This timeline allows us to thoroughly research, design, develop, and test your site to ensure it's built to perform and generate leads from day one.

Question 11

What kind of ROI should I expect?

Accepted Answer

While specific ROI varies by industry and margin, our goal is always to turn your marketing from an expense into a profit center. We aim for a blended return that significantly outpaces your investment, and we model out these expectations with you before we start any campaign.

Question 12

What happens if I'm not seeing results?

Accepted Answer

If a campaign isn't hitting our agreed-upon KPIs, we pivot aggressively. Because we operate without long-term lock-ins after the initial period, the pressure is entirely on us to diagnose the bottleneck—whether it's the offer, the landing page, or the ad creative—and fix it.

Question 13

Do you guarantee first-page rankings?

Accepted Answer

No, and no honest agency will guarantee specific rankings because Google's algorithm is entirely outside our control. What we do guarantee is executing a proven, data-driven SEO strategy that has consistently generated top-page visibility and qualified leads for our clients.

Question 14

How do you measure success, and what will you report on?

Accepted Answer

We measure success by leads generated and cost per acquisition (CPA), not just clicks or impressions. You will receive a clear, monthly report detailing exactly what we spent, what we did, the leads generated, and our strategic plan for the following month.

Question 15

Who actually does the work — in-house or outsourced?

Accepted Answer

All core strategy, design, and campaign management is handled in-house by our team in Bentonville. We do not outsource your brand's voice or technical execution to cheap overseas white-label agencies.

Question 16

Can I see case studies or results from businesses like mine?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. You can view our recent projects on our Portfolio page, and we are happy to walk you through specific case studies, including the exact metrics and strategies used, during our discovery call.

Question 17

Do you work with companies in my industry / of my size?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in partnering with ambitious service-based businesses, local contractors, and boutique firms that are ready to scale. If your business relies on high-value leads and you are prepared to invest in growth, we are likely a strong fit regardless of your specific niche.

Question 18

Who owns my website and ad accounts if we stop working together?

Accepted Answer

You do. You retain 100% ownership of your website, domain, ad accounts, and all creative assets we produce for you. We believe in transparency and holding onto clients through performance, not by holding their digital assets hostage.

Question 19

Should I invest in SEO or paid ads first? Do I need both?

Accepted Answer

If you need leads immediately to sustain cash flow, start with paid ads. If you are established and want to build a long-term, sustainable pipeline that lowers your overall cost per lead, invest in SEO. Ideally, you run both: ads for immediate traction and SEO for compounding growth.

Question 20

Do I need a new website, or can you work with my current one?

Accepted Answer

If your current website is fundamentally sound and built on a platform we support, we can work with it. However, if the site is slow, poorly structured, or visually outdated, we will require a rebuild—sending paid traffic to a bad website is a waste of your money.

Question 21

Why hire an agency instead of a freelancer or doing it in-house?

Accepted Answer

Hiring an agency gives you an entire team of specialists—strategists, designers, and media buyers—for less than the cost of one mid-level in-house employee. Unlike a freelancer who might be a generalist, we bring deep, specialized expertise and a proven system for scaling businesses.

Question 22

What does a web design + SEO + paid ads agency actually do?

Accepted Answer

We build the engine that drives your business growth. We design a high-converting website to act as your digital storefront, use SEO to capture people actively searching for your services, and deploy paid ads to aggressively target and convert your ideal customers.

Question 23

How involved do I need to be in the process?

Accepted Answer

We need your deep involvement during the initial onboarding and strategy phases to understand your business, offer, and tone. After that, we take the wheel, requiring only your feedback on key deliverables and your attendance at our monthly review calls.

Question 24

How often will we communicate, and who's my point of contact?

Accepted Answer

You will have a dedicated account manager as your primary point of contact. We provide asynchronous updates throughout the month and hold a structured, comprehensive review call every 30 days to discuss performance, strategy, and next steps.

Question 25

What do you need from me to get started?

Accepted Answer

To kick off, we need access to your existing digital assets (website, ad accounts, analytics), any brand guidelines or logos, and your time for a deep-dive onboarding call. We handle the heavy lifting from there.

Question 26

Do you offer ongoing website maintenance after launch?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer website hosting, maintenance, and security packages to ensure your site remains fast, secure, and fully updated. This service is typically included in our ongoing marketing retainers.

Question 27

How do we get started / what does onboarding look like?

Accepted Answer

It starts with a discovery call to ensure we are a mutual fit. Once you sign the proposal and pay the initial invoice, we schedule a deep-dive kickoff call, request access to your accounts, and begin our audit and strategy buildout immediately.
