FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Every question we
get asked. Answered.
Real answers about cost, timelines, SEO, AEO, and what makes a Reboot site different. If you don't see your question, reach out.
How much does a website cost?
$499 one-time fee. That covers design, development, copywriting, on-page SEO, AEO setup, and launch. No monthly platform fee, no hidden costs. Optional SEO and maintenance retainers are available separately.
How long does it take to build my website?
7 days from brief to live. Day 1 we gather your information. Days 2–5 we design and build. Day 6 you review. Day 7 we go live. Most clients are genuinely surprised it's real and it's done.
Will my website show up on Google?
Every site we build includes full on-page SEO: title tags, meta descriptions, header hierarchy, schema markup, image alt text, and site speed optimization. We also set up your Google Business Profile if you don't have one. Ranking takes time — typically 30–90 days for new sites — but you'll be set up correctly from day one.
What is AEO and why does it matter?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. It's the practice of structuring your content so AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity recommend your business when someone asks a question. Example: 'What's the best plumber in Austin?' We've gotten clients recommended by all three major AI engines. Every Reboot site includes AEO built in from the start.
Why is it so affordable?
We use modern design tooling and automation that eliminates the overhead of traditional agencies — no bloated teams, no lengthy design cycles, no account managers billing hours for meetings. You get a focused, professional result at a fraction of traditional cost.
What if I need changes after launch?
Small text updates and hours adjustments are included at no extra charge for the first 30 days. After that, our monthly maintenance plan covers ongoing updates. Major redesigns or new pages are quoted separately.
I already have a website. Can you help?
Yes. Our free audit reviews your existing site for SEO problems, speed issues, missing schema, AEO readiness, and conversion gaps. If a rebuild makes more sense than a patch job, we'll tell you honestly — and explain why.
Do I need to provide photos and copy?
No. We write your copy and source or generate high-quality photography. If you have photos or existing content you want to use, bring them. If not, we handle everything. The goal is to give you a site that looks like you hired a full creative team — because you effectively did.
What businesses do you work with?
Any local service business with customers in a geographic area: plumbers, electricians, HVAC, roofers, landscapers, restaurants, salons, barbershops, dog groomers, auto repair, personal trainers, florists, and more. If you rely on local customers finding you, a Reboot site will help.
Will I be able to update the site myself?
We can set up a simple content management system if self-editing is important to you. Most of our clients prefer to contact us for updates — it's faster, and they don't pay for hours they don't need.
What's included in the SEO and AEO retainer?
Monthly retainers include: new content targeting local search terms, Google Business Profile updates, citation building, review request systems, monthly rank tracking reports, and AI engine monitoring to ensure you stay recommended as AI systems update.
What's the difference between your $499 site and a Wix or Squarespace site?
Template builders give you a generic site that looks like every other small business on their platform. They won't write your copy, optimize for local SEO, set up AEO, or generate professional photography. You get a design tool — not a result. A Reboot site is built specifically for your business, your market, and your customers — and it's built to rank.
