Website Design & Digital Marketing FAQs for Small Business Owners

Wondering how long it takes, what it costs, or if we’re the right fit?
We answer all that plus the big questions about SEO, web design, and growth strategies that actually convert traffic into paying clients.
Clear, honest answers. No fluff.

Common Problems We Solve

  • Traffic alone doesn’t pay the bills, conversions do.

    If your website isn’t generating leads, it’s usually because the content, calls-to-action, or user flow aren’t optimized.

    Our Growth Strategy fixes this by combining SEO, blogging, and conversion-focused design so the right visitors become paying clients.

  • Many service businesses set up a Google Business Profile but don’t optimize it.

    Incomplete info, weak descriptions, and a lack of reviews keep you from ranking in the Local Pack.

    We manage your profile monthly, adding posts, updating info, and building reviews, so you show up when customers search locally.

  • Most blogs fail because they’re not built around keyword research or customer intent.

    Random content won’t attract buyers.

    Our blogging strategy targets the exact questions your ideal clients ask Google or AI tools, positioning you as the solution and turning blog traffic into leads.

  • Social media often underperforms when posts aren’t tied to a clear strategy.

    Today, Likes, followers and views don’t equal leads as they once did.

    We create consistent, targeted content that supports SEO, builds trust, and drives people back to your website, where conversions actually happen.

  • SEO and online growth aren’t one-and-done.

    Algorithms change, competitors keep investing, and rankings shift.

    A monthly Growth Strategy ensures your SEO, content, and online presence stay ahead, making your website a consistent lead magnet instead of a digital brochure.

General Questions

  • Most projects take 1–2 weeks once we have your information, photos, and materials.

  • Projects kick off with a quick onboarding process; agreement, simple questionnaire, and a discovery call.

    Once we have your information, we aim for a 1-2 week turnaround on the first draft. Every package includes two rounds of edits so the final product is spot on.

    How We Work

  • We understand your time is valuable, so we offer a brief online questionnaire that covers essential information such as your services, operating areas etc. There’s no need for lengthy answers, just the basics. We’ll handle the rest.

  • Your feedback is a key part of the process. We want your website to feel like you, so we build in time for collaboration. After the initial design is delivered, you’ll have two rounds of revisions included to refine things based on your input.

    We make it easy to share your thoughts — big or small — and we listen closely to make sure the final result fits your vision and goals.

  • We keep it simple with clear packages designed to fit your budget and goals. Whether you want a basic SEO-ready site or a full digital growth strategy including social media management, we offer options that work for you.

    Our Pricing

  • You’ll have full control of your website.

    With Empire Builder I & II, our team handles the updates to keep it optimized.

    If you skip monthly maintenance, we offer a daily rate ($275/day) to do all your edits and SEO updates when you need them

    IMPORTANT:
    Yes, we provide full access to your website’s backend—but that doesn’t mean everything should be moved, added, or removed. Every element we place is carefully designed for SEO, user experience, and conversions. Making changes without guidance can unintentionally hurt your results.

    If you want to update content or tweak layouts, let us handle it—or at least run your changes by us first. We’ll advise on the best approach and explain any potential impact, so your site stays optimized and effective.

  • Absolutely. Mobile-first is standard. Your site will look slick and work fast whether they’re browsing on a laptop or tapping from their phone.

  • To ensure Google and Large Language Models (LLMs) effectively crawl your website, fast loading times are essential.

    We guarantee your site performs quickly, and if you choose Empire Builder I or II, maintaining optimal speed is integrated into your Growth Strategy. If you prefer just web design services, you can still access daily rates for edits, SEO and speed optimization.

  • Band-aids don’t fix broken funnels. If your site isn’t bringing in leads, it likely needs a full rethink, not just a color tweak or new font. We build what works, not what kind of works.

  • We primarily work with English (USA/UK) and Spanish. However, other languages can be accommodated upon prior discussion.

Web Design

  • SEO-friendly web design means building a website that’s easy for both users and search engines to understand.

    It combines clean code, mobile responsiveness, fast loading speeds, and strategic content structure.

    A site designed with SEO best practices will rank higher on Google, attract more organic traffic, and convert more visitors into customers.

  • Google looks at user experience when deciding rankings.

    If your website is slow, hard to navigate, or not mobile-friendly, your rankings will suffer.

    Smart web design uses optimized layouts, structured content, and proper technical SEO so your site performs well in search results.

  • It’s not enough to just get traffic, you want leads and sales.

    Conversion-friendly web design guides users with clear calls-to-action, strategically placed content, and mobile-first layouts. When combined with SEO elements like optimized meta tags and internal linking, you get a site that ranks and sells.

  • Yes, creativity and SEO can work hand in hand if the design is done right.

    Sites overloaded with heavy images or flashy animations often slow down, which hurts rankings and user experience.

    At NODA, we strike the balance: you get a visually stunning website that grabs attention, while the content and structure are fully optimized for SEO.

    The result? A site that stands out, ranks higher, and converts better, the best of both worlds.

  • Ideally, web design and SEO should go hand in hand.

    A traditional designer may focus on visuals, but an SEO web designer builds with rankings, conversions, and growth in mind.

    That’s what makes NODA different, we create visually striking websites that don’t just look good, they’re built around your business goals and optimized to drive leads, sales, and long-term growth.

  • Yes. In fact, SEO often has the highest return for local service businesses because people are actively searching for solutions.

    If someone types “plumber near me” or “business coach in [city],” showing up on page one of Google puts you directly in front of ready-to-buy customers.
