Frequently asked questions

A NewSitefy website redesign starts with a free review of your current site, so you know exactly what's working and what's costing you customers before you commit to anything. From there we build the new version on a private preview link: modern design, mobile-first layout, fast loading, and content structured so Google understands what you do and where you do it. You review the preview, request changes, and approve it — your existing site stays online the entire time, so there's no downtime and nothing breaks. At launch we set up redirects that preserve the Google rankings you've already earned, connect your domain, and install analytics so every call and form submission is counted. A typical redesign goes from kickoff to launch in two to four weeks.

Local SEO is the practice of optimizing a business's website and Google Business Profile so it appears when nearby customers search for the services it offers — both in the regular Google results and in the map results at the top. NewSitefy's local SEO service covers four areas: content written for your trade and service area, technical SEO (site speed, mobile experience, structured data), dedicated landing pages for each city or neighborhood you serve, and full alignment between your website and your Google Business Profile. For a plumber or dentist, that means ranking for searches like "emergency plumber near me" or "dentist in [your city]" — the searches that turn into booked jobs. Most businesses see measurable movement within three months and significant gains within six months of ongoing work.

Google Maps optimization — also called Google Business Profile optimization — is the work of making your map listing rank higher and convert more viewers into callers. NewSitefy optimizes every part of the profile: verification and setup, primary and secondary categories (one of the strongest ranking signals on Maps), a complete services list with descriptions, your business description, photos, regular posts, and a genuine review strategy with professional responses to every review. We also make sure your profile and your website tell Google the same story, because consistency between the two strengthens both. The goal is simple: when someone finds you on the map, they call you instead of the competitor next to you.

Yes. NewSitefy sets up and manages Google Ads and Local Services campaigns for local businesses, with conversion tracking on every campaign so you always know what a lead costs — not just what a click costs. We build campaigns around the services and areas that make you money, send that traffic to pages designed to convert, and review performance monthly. We only recommend ads when they make sense for your business and budget; if your website or Google Business Profile would give you a better return first, we'll tell you that instead.

It depends on the scope, which is exactly why we start with the free review: it tells us — and you — what your business actually needs before any money changes hands. After the review you get a fixed quote for the work we recommend, in plain English, with no surprise line items. Website redesigns are priced as a one-time project; local SEO, Google Business Profile management, ads, and maintenance are monthly services you can stop at any time — we don't lock clients into long-term contracts.

A typical website redesign takes 2–4 weeks from kickoff to launch. Google Business Profile optimization usually shows movement within the first month. Local SEO is ongoing — most businesses see meaningful improvement within 3–6 months.

Absolutely. Your domain stays yours, and we handle the technical side of pointing it at the new site. Your email keeps working exactly as before.

Anything worth keeping — content, photos, reviews — carries over to the new site. We also make sure your existing Google rankings are preserved with proper redirects, so you don't lose the visibility you've already earned.

You get a direct line to the team that built your site — no ticket queues. Maintenance plans cover updates, backups, monitoring, and small content changes, and we respond within one business day.

Yes. You'll receive a monthly summary in plain English: how many calls and inquiries came in, how your rankings moved, and what we did that month. No 40-page PDFs of jargon.

A website is like a work truck: it needs regular upkeep to stay reliable. Maintenance keeps your site secure, fast, and backed up — and means small updates get done in days, not months.
