Do I own the site after?

Yes. After the flat fee is paid, the site, the domain, and the code are yours. If you ever want to take it to another developer, you can.

What if I already have a domain?

No problem. We can use your existing domain. If you don't have one, we'll register it for you (cost passed through, usually $12–20/yr).

What about hosting after year 1?

$25/mo gets you hosting + small edits (changing a phone number, swapping a photo, etc.). Or you can self-host on Cloudflare Pages or GitHub Pages for free. We'll show you how.

Can you redo my existing site?

Yes. Most of our work is replacing 10-year-old WordPress sites that nobody can edit. Send us your current site URL with the quote request and we'll quote a redesign.

Do you do e-commerce / online stores?

Not yet. We focus on local service businesses where the website's job is to make the phone ring. If you need to sell products online, Shopify or Squarespace will serve you better.

What if I don't like the result?

You only paid 50% upfront. If you genuinely hate it, you walk away. You don't pay the second half. I keep the deposit for the work done. This has not happened yet, but the option is there.

Are you using AI to build these?

Sort of. I use modern AI tools to write code faster, the same way most developers do in 2026. But every site is reviewed, customized, and finished by hand. The end result is a real, hand-tuned site, not a template that AI spat out.

SEO for ice cream shops in Palo Alto — FAQ

Common questions

How much does SEO for ice cream shops in Palo Alto cost?

Plans start at $497/mo, month-to-month with no contract and no setup fee. For most ice cream shops in Palo Alto, the Starter plan ($497/mo) is the right starting point.

How long until my ice cream shop business ranks in Palo Alto?

About 90 days for your Google Business Profile and map rankings to start moving, and 4 to 6 months for organic search rankings. Anyone promising page one in 30 days is selling fake traffic.

Do you guarantee a #1 ranking for "ice cream shop near me"?

No. Nobody can ethically guarantee #1 — Google's algorithm changes constantly. We guarantee the work: the audits, content, citations, reviews, and reports. That work compounds over time.

Do I need a new website to do SEO in Palo Alto?

Not always. We'll do SEO on your existing site. But if it's slow or outdated we may recommend a rebuild first, because site speed directly affects rankings.

Is there a contract?

No. It's month-to-month — cancel anytime. Most agencies lock you into 6 to 12 months. We don't.
