Frequently asked questions

Repetitive, rules-based work: replying to new leads, logging them to a sheet or CRM, following up on quotes, sending appointment and invoice reminders, building the same weekly report, and sorting a busy inbox. At the audit we tell you honestly which tasks are worth automating and which aren't.

Email, web forms, Google Sheets, calendars, and accounting or CRM tools are the common ones. If yours isn't listed, ask us; we confirm what's possible during the audit.

Usually not. We build the workflow in the tools you already use wherever we can.

No. You keep your current business number and set up call forwarding. We walk you through it during setup.

Missed-call text-back typically goes live in about a week. A new website usually launches within 2 to 3 weeks from the kickoff call, depending on how quickly we get your content and feedback.

Managed hosting, SSL, routine maintenance, and up to 60 minutes of content updates a month (photos, text, pricing, promotions). Unused time doesn't roll over. Extra work beyond that, including new pages, redesigns, and integrations, is billed at $100/hr, only with your approval.

Yes — we take steps to minimize disruption. Every indexed page gets strict URL mapping, and a redirect is put in place whenever a URL changes. We preserve existing URLs where practical and follow technical SEO best practices designed to minimize disruption during a redesign. Rankings depend on many factors outside our control, so no specific ranking outcome is guaranteed.

Every Websteadly website is built on SEO foundations such as search-friendly site structure, page titles and metadata, technical SEO essentials, mobile optimization, structured data where appropriate, and sitemap and indexing readiness.
