Discovery
What is a Discovery?
A Discovery is an in-depth process where we analyze your business, identify your marketing needs, and develop a tailored strategy. It involves understanding your goals, competitors, and market opportunities to create a roadmap for success. Think of it as the blueprint for your marketing efforts, ensuring every action is aligned with your business objectives.
Why do I need to pay for a Discovery?
Paying for a Discovery ensures you receive a detailed, customized marketing plan based on thorough research and analysis. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach; it’s a comprehensive evaluation of your business, competitors, and market trends. The insights and strategies provided are designed to maximize your ROI and set your business up for long-term growth, making the Discovery a critical investment.
What comes with a Discovery?

Why do I need a Website Host?
A website host is essential because it provides the server space and resources needed to make your website accessible online. Here’s why a website host is crucial:
- Accessibility: Your website needs a host to be available 24/7 to visitors from anywhere in the world.
- Storage: Hosts provide the space needed to store your website’s files, images, and data.
- Security: A good host offers security features, such as SSL certificates and regular backups, to protect your website from threats.
- Performance: Hosting impacts your website’s speed and reliability, ensuring it loads quickly and runs smoothly.
- Support: Hosting providers often include technical support to help troubleshoot issues and keep your site running.
In short, without a website host, your website wouldn’t be available for users to visit or interact with.

What is a domain?
A domain is the unique address of your website that users type into their browser to visit your site. It’s essentially your website’s digital address, like “www.yourbusiness.com.”
Here’s why a domain is important:
- Brand Identity: A domain helps establish your brand online and makes it easier for customers to find you.
- Professionalism: Having a custom domain (instead of a free one) gives your business credibility and professionalism.
- SEO Benefits: A relevant, keyword-rich domain can help improve your website’s visibility on search engines.
- Ownership: Your domain is your unique property on the internet, and no other business can use the same domain as yours.
Think of your domain as your online storefront—it’s where customers will go to learn about your business and engage with your services.

Why do you need access to domain hosting?
We need access to your domain hosting for the following key reasons:
- DNS Configuration: We need to manage the Domain Name System (DNS) settings to ensure your website connects properly to the server. This ensures that when users type your domain into their browser, they reach your website.
- Email Setup: If your business uses email addresses linked to your domain (e.g., info@yourbusiness.com), we need access to configure and manage those emails.
- Security and SSL Certificates: Managing your domain allows us to set up security features like SSL certificates, which encrypt data and protect your website and its visitors.
- Website Launch: When launching your new website, we need to ensure the domain is correctly pointing to the new hosting server. Without this, your site wouldn’t go live.
In short, domain hosting access is essential for ensuring your website is accessible, secure, and fully operational.

Why do I need YouTube or Vimeo and why can’t I just upload the video to the website?
Using platforms like YouTube or Vimeo to host your videos offers several advantages over uploading them directly to your website:
- Faster Load Times: Videos are large files, and hosting them directly on your website can slow down your page loading speed. YouTube and Vimeo are optimized for fast video streaming, ensuring a smooth experience for your visitors.
- Bandwidth Efficiency: Uploading videos directly to your website uses your server's bandwidth. Hosting on YouTube or Vimeo reduces the strain on your website, ensuring better performance for other site features.
- SEO Benefits: YouTube is the second-largest search engine, and hosting your videos there can increase your visibility and drive more traffic to your website. Vimeo also provides an optimized video experience that supports your SEO efforts.
- Cross-Platform Sharing: Hosting on these platforms makes it easier to share your videos across multiple channels, including social media, blogs, and other websites, enhancing your marketing reach.
- Analytics: Both YouTube and Vimeo provide detailed analytics, allowing you to track video performance, view counts, and audience engagement, giving you valuable insights.
For these reasons, using YouTube or Vimeo is a more efficient and strategic way to integrate videos into your website.

What happens if I still need to make edits after the 3rd revision?

- The 3-revision process is designed to ensure that all major adjustments are made within the original project scope.
- Any edits beyond the 3rd revision fall outside the standard design process and will be treated as extra work.
To avoid additional costs, we recommend gathering all feedback and making comprehensive requests during the initial revisions.

Maintenance
What is considered a website edit?
A website edit refers to minor changes made to the content, design, or functionality of your existing website after it has been launched.

What is the difference between an edit and a redesign?
Understanding the difference between a website edit and a website redesign is crucial for managing expectations and determining the scope of work. Here’s a breakdown of each:
1. Website Edit
An edit refers to minor changes or updates to your existing website. These are typically quick adjustments that don't affect the overall structure or design of the site.
Examples of Website Edits:
- Updating text, images, or videos
- Changing colors, fonts, or small design elements
- Fixing broken links or forms
- Adding blog posts or new product listings
- Basic SEO updates (meta tags, keywords)
Purpose of Edits:
Edits are intended to keep your site up-to-date with minor changes that don’t require a full overhaul. They’re typically part of ongoing website maintenance.
2. Website Redesign
A redesign involves major changes to the look, structure, or functionality of your website. This is a larger project that can change how users interact with your site and how it represents your brand.
Examples of a Website Redesign:
- Revamping the entire layout or structure (e.g., changing from a single-column layout to a multi-column design)
- Creating a new design or visual theme
- Adding entirely new features or functionalities, such as e-commerce or membership portals
- Rebuilding the website for improved performance, mobile responsiveness, or better user experience
Purpose of a Redesign:
A redesign is usually necessary when your website needs a fresh look, improved functionality, or updated branding. It’s a more extensive process that typically involves rethinking the entire user experience.
Key Differences:
- Scope: Edits are small, targeted updates; redesigns are comprehensive changes.
- Time & Effort: Edits can usually be done quickly, while redesigns take more time and planning.
- Impact: Edits adjust what’s already there; redesigns create a new look or functionality for your website.

What is the difference between an edit and a redevelopment?
It’s important to distinguish between a website edit and a website redevelopment to understand the scope of work and what’s involved. Here’s a clear breakdown:
1. Website Edit
An edit involves minor changes to your existing website. These changes are typically small adjustments that don’t affect the core structure, functionality, or design of the website.
Examples of Website Edits:
- Changing or updating text, images, or videos
- Adjusting colors, fonts, or layouts on a single page
- Fixing broken links or forms
- Adding blog posts or updating product listings
- Minor SEO updates (meta descriptions, title tags)
Purpose of Edits: Edits are quick fixes or updates that keep your site fresh without altering its overall design or structure. They are part of routine website maintenance.
2. Website Redevelopment
A redevelopment is a major overhaul of your website's structure, technology, and functionality. This process often involves rebuilding the site from the ground up to improve performance, add new capabilities, or fix fundamental issues.
Examples of Website Redevelopment:
- Rebuilding the website with a new framework or platform (e.g., moving from HTML to WordPress)
- Upgrading the website’s backend infrastructure for faster performance or better security
- Adding complex functionality, such as e-commerce, membership systems, or customer portals
- Addressing significant issues, such as poor mobile responsiveness or outdated technology
Purpose of Redevelopment: Redevelopment is necessary when the website’s underlying structure, technology, or functionality is outdated or no longer meets the business’s needs. It’s a more intensive process than a redesign, typically requiring a complete rebuild of the website. Key Differences:
- Scope: Edits are small, incremental changes; redevelopment involves a full rebuild of the website's structure and technology.
- Time & Resources: Edits are quick and straightforward, while redevelopment is a more time-consuming and resource-intensive process.
- Impact: Edits tweak specific elements, while redevelopment transforms the entire site to meet modern standards or introduce new features.

- Upgrading the website’s backend infrastructure for faster performance or better security
- Adding complex functionality, such as e-commerce, membership systems, or customer portals
- Addressing significant issues, such as poor mobile responsiveness or outdated technology
Purpose of Redevelopment: Redevelopment is necessary when the website’s underlying structure, technology, or functionality is outdated or no longer meets the business’s needs. It’s a more intensive process than a redesign, typically requiring a complete rebuild of the website. Key Differences:
- Scope: Edits are small, incremental changes; redevelopment involves a full rebuild of the website's structure and technology.
- Time & Resources: Edits are quick and straightforward, while redevelopment is a more time-consuming and resource-intensive process.
- Impact: Edits tweak specific elements, while redevelopment transforms the entire site to meet modern standards or introduce new features.
If you’re not sure whether your project is an edit or a redevelopment, we can help assess your needs and provide guidance on the best solution.

How does SEO work?
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of improving your website’s visibility on search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo. The goal is to rank higher in search results when people look for products or services related to your business. Here’s a simple breakdown of how SEO works:
1. Keyword Research
SEO starts with identifying the right keywords — the terms and phrases people are searching for. We research keywords that are relevant to your business, products, or services, and strategically incorporate them into your website content to help you rank for those searches.
2. On-Page SEO
This refers to optimizing elements on your website that can impact search rankings:
- Content Optimization:
Creating and optimizing high-quality, relevant content around targeted keywords.
- Meta Tags: Optimizing title tags, meta descriptions, and headers to make your pages more search-friendly.
- Internal Linking: Linking to other relevant pages within your site to help search engines better understand the structure of your website.
3. Off-Page SEO
Off-page SEO focuses on building your website's authority and reputation outside of your website: - Backlinks: Earning links from other reputable websites that point back to your site. The more quality backlinks you have, the more trustworthy search engines consider your site.
- Social Media & Reviews: Activity on social platforms and positive online reviews can also contribute to better search visibility.
4. Technical SEO
Technical SEO involves optimizing the backend of your website to ensure it is properly crawled and indexed by search engines:
- Mobile Optimization: Ensuring your website is mobile-friendly and loads quickly. Site Speed: Improving your website’s load times for better user experience and rankings.
- XML Sitemap: Creating a sitemap to help search engines find and index all the important pages on your website.
- Security: Implementing SSL certificates to secure your website (HTTPS), which is a ranking factor.
5. Local SEO (if applicable)
For businesses that rely on local customers, Local SEO ensures your business appears in local search results and Google Maps:
- Optimizing Google My Business listings
- Collecting reviews and managing local citations
- Targeting location-based keywords
6. Continuous Monitoring and Adjustments SEO is not a one-time task. Search engines constantly update their algorithms, and competitors are always adjusting their strategies. We monitor your rankings, traffic, and other key metrics to continuously optimize and adjust your strategy for the best results.
In Summary: SEO works by aligning your website with the criteria search engines use to rank websites, from keyword relevance and content quality to backlinks and technical performance. It’s an ongoing process that boosts your visibility and drives organic traffic over time.

What is SERP?
1. Local Services Ads (LSA)
LSAs are specialized ads typically displayed at the top of Google’s search results for specific services, such as plumbers, electricians, or lawyers. These ads are pay-per-lead, and businesses must undergo verification by Google to appear here. LSAs help local service providers connect with potential customers searching for their services.
2. Paid Ads (Google Ads/PPC)
These are traditional pay-per-click (PPC) ads that appear at the top or bottom of the SERP. Businesses bid on keywords, and when someone clicks on the ad, the business pays a fee. Paid ads are clearly marked with an "Ad" label and are a quick way to get visibility for competitive keywords.
3. Local Ads
Local Ads target a specific geographic area and appear when users search for services or products within a certain location. These ads are often displayed within the Google Maps section of the SERP and focus on businesses that operate in a defined local area.
4. Local Maps (Google My Business)
The Local Map Pack or Google My Business (GMB) results are a group of business listings that appear on the map in response to location-based searches. These results are displayed beneath the paid ads and show the business's location, hours, reviews, and contact information. Local Maps optimization is part of Local SEO and helps businesses rank for local searches.
5. Organic Results
These are the non-paid listings that appear based on the relevance of a website’s content, SEO efforts, and authority. Ranking organically depends on many factors, including content quality, keyword usage, backlinks, and technical SEO. Organic rankings tend to drive long-term traffic but take more time and effort to achieve.
Why These Rankings Matter
Each of these ranking methods provides a unique way to gain visibility on the SERP. Depending on your business goals, you may choose to focus on one or a combination of these methods to drive traffic and generate leads. A balanced strategy combining paid ads, Local SEO, and organic rankings can maximize your online presence.

Will I get leads from SEO?
Yes, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) can help generate leads for your business by improving your website’s visibility on search engines like Google. Here’s how SEO contributes to lead generation:
1. Higher Rankings = More Visibility
When your website ranks higher in search results for relevant keywords, it’s more likely to be seen by potential customers who are actively searching for your products or services. The more visible you are, the more traffic you’ll receive, which can convert into leads.
2. Targeted Traffic
SEO helps attract visitors who are specifically searching for what your business offers. By optimizing your content for the right keywords, your website draws in a more relevant audience that is more likely to become leads.
3. Local SEO for Local Leads
If you rely on local customers, Local SEO helps your business appear in local search results, Google Maps, and the Local Pack. This increases the chances of getting leads from people searching for services in your area.
4. Credibility and Trust
Websites that rank higher in organic search results are often perceived as more trustworthy by users. By providing valuable content and optimizing your website, you build authority, making potential customers more likely to engage with your business and become leads.
5. Long-Term Strategy
Unlike paid ads that stop once you stop paying, SEO builds long-term visibility. Once your website starts ranking well, it can continue to bring in leads without ongoing ad spend.

How long will it take for me to start ranking on Google?
The time it takes to rank on Google depends on several factors, but generally, it can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months to start seeing significant improvements in rankings. Here's a breakdown of what affects the timeline:
1. Competition and Keyword Difficulty
If you're targeting highly competitive keywords, it can take longer to rank. Less competitive, long-tail keywords may allow you to rank faster, especially if they are more specific to your business.
2. Website Age and Authority
Older, established websites with strong authority may rank faster than new websites. If your website is newer, building domain authority and trust with Google can take more time.
3. Quality of SEO Implementation
How well your website is optimized for search engines plays a big role. This includes:
- On-page SEO (content, meta tags, internal linking)
- Technical SEO (site speed, mobile-friendliness, secure connections)
- Off-page SEO (backlinks and online reputation)
A well-optimized website will generally rank faster than one that requires a lot of SEO work.
4. Content Quality and Frequency
Regularly updating your website with high-quality, relevant content can speed up the ranking process. Google rewards sites that continually add fresh, valuable content.
5. Local SEO vs. National SEO
If you're focusing on Local SEO, you might see results faster because local search results are less competitive than broader national or global rankings.
6. Ongoing SEO Efforts
SEO is not a one-time task; it requires continuous effort and monitoring. Rankings improve over time as you consistently optimize your website and build authority.
Summary:
For most businesses, it takes 3 to 6 months to start ranking for relevant keywords, but this can vary depending on your competition, the strength of your SEO efforts, and the overall health of your website. With the right strategy, rankings and visibility will improve steadily.

Social Media Marketing
What is the difference between an Ad and a post?
Social Media Post
A post is organic content shared on your social media profile. Its primary focus is on engagement with your current audience, not necessarily driving conversions.
- Purpose: Posts are meant to engage with your existing followers by sharing updates, promotions, stories, or entertaining content. They help build relationships and keep your brand top of mind.
- Audience: Posts are typically seen by your followers and people who find you organically.
Cost: Posting is free and doesn’t require an ad budget.
- Visibility: The visibility of posts depends on the platform's algorithm and how engaged your audience is. Posts may not reach a large audience unless they are shared or go viral.
Social Media Ad
A social media ad is a paid piece of content designed with specific goals in mind, such as driving traffic, generating leads, or increasing sales.
- Purpose: Ads are goal-oriented and designed to achieve specific objectives like conversions, website visits, or product sales. Ads are strategically created to move potential customers further down the funnel.
- Audience: Ads target a specific audience, even people who don’t follow your page, based on criteria like location, demographics, interests, and behaviors.
- Cost: Ads require a budget, with costs based on ad delivery models like cost-per-click (CPC) or cost-per-impression (CPM).
- Visibility: Ads are guaranteed to reach a broader and more targeted audience, ensuring your message is seen by the right people.

What is the Difference Between a Facebook Boost and a Facebook Ad?
The key difference between a Facebook boost and a Facebook ad lies in their level of control, targeting options, and how they are used to promote content. Here’s a breakdown:
Facebook Boost A boost is a paid promotion of an existing post on your Facebook page to increase its visibility to a wider audience.
- Purpose: Boosts are used to increase engagement (likes, shares, comments) on an organic post by reaching more people. They are ideal for promoting content that’s already performing well.
- Targeting: While you can choose basic targeting options such as location, age, and interests, boosting offers limited targeting compared to a full ad campaign.
- Customization: Boosts offer less customization and flexibility in terms of ad placement, creative options, and campaign objectives.
- Objective: Boosted posts are primarily designed for engagement, not necessarily for driving conversions or lead generation.
- Ease of Use: Boosting is a simple, quick option with fewer settings, making it a good choice for beginners who want to increase post reach quickly.
Facebook Ad
A Facebook ad is a more advanced advertising option that gives you greater control over how your message is delivered, allowing you to create tailored campaigns with specific goals.
- Purpose: Facebook ads are goal-oriented, designed to achieve specific objectives such as lead generation, conversions, website traffic, or app installs.
- Targeting: Ads offer more advanced targeting options, including custom audiences, lookalike audiences, detailed demographics, and retargeting options.
- Customization: Facebook ads provide a wide range of customization for creative elements (videos, carousels, stories), placement (Instagram, Messenger, Facebook, etc.), and ad objectives (conversions, clicks, views).
Objective: Ads can be tailored to meet specific business goals beyond engagement, such as driving sales, capturing leads, or increasing website traffic.
- Advanced Analytics: Ads offer more detailed analytics and performance tracking, giving you insight into how your campaign is performing and helping you optimize it for better results.

Can I use my personal social media profiles for my business?
Yes, you can use your personal social media profiles to promote your business, but there are a few considerations:
Advantages:
- Personal Connection: Your personal profile can help build a closer relationship with your audience, especially if your personal brand is closely tied to your business.
- Increased Reach: If you have a large personal following, sharing business content can help you reach more people and grow awareness quickly.
- Authenticity: Using personal accounts to share behind-the-scenes content or personal insights can humanize your business and build trust with potential customers.
Considerations:
- Professionalism: Be mindful of the content you share on personal profiles, as you’ll need to maintain a balance between personal and professional posts to avoid confusing your audience.
- Privacy: Mixing personal and business content can blur the lines between your personal and professional life. Be prepared for increased visibility and interaction on your personal accounts.
- Features and Analytics: Business profiles offer tools like analytics, ads, and enhanced features (such as call-to-action buttons) that personal accounts don't have. For better marketing and tracking performance, consider creating a separate business account.

Is it good to post AI-generated photos or videos?
AI-generated photos and videos can be useful, but whether they are a good fit for your business depends on your goals, audience, and how you use them. Here are some key considerations:
Advantages of AI-Generated Content:
- Efficiency and Speed: AI-generated visuals can save time by creating custom images or videos quickly, especially when resources for traditional design or production are limited.
- Creativity and Innovation: AI tools can create visually striking and unique content that might be difficult or expensive to produce manually. This can help your brand stand out with creative, futuristic visuals.
- Cost-Effective: AI-generated content can be more affordable than hiring designers, photographers, or video producers, making it an attractive option for businesses on a budget.
Considerations:
- Authenticity: People often connect better with real, authentic content that feels genuine. Overusing AI-generated visuals can make your brand feel impersonal or artificial, especially in industries where authenticity is key (e.g., personal services, coaching, or community-driven brands).
- Quality and Accuracy: While AI has improved, it sometimes creates visuals that may not look entirely natural or may contain inaccuracies, especially with human faces or complex scenes. Careful review is needed to ensure the content aligns with your brand’s quality standards.
- Brand Identity:
If your brand relies on a personal touch or storytelling, using real photos and videos of your team, products, and clients may resonate more with your audience than AI-generated visuals. - Ethical Concerns:
Some audiences may be wary of AI-generated content due to privacy, ownership, or ethical concerns, especially if the source of the images or videos isn't transparent.
Best Practice:
- Balance Real and AI-Generated Content: It’s fine to use AI-generated photos or videos for certain purposes, such as enhancing creativity, but consider balancing them with real images or videos to maintain authenticity.
- Transparency: Be open with your audience when using AI-generated visuals to avoid misleading them.

Why do I need to post photos or videos of my business?
Posting photos and videos of your business is essential for building trust, engagement, and visibility online. Here's why it's so important:
1. Builds Trust and Authenticity
Visual content shows your audience the real people, products, and services behind your brand. Customers are more likely to trust businesses that provide a genuine look into their operations, whether through behind-the-scenes footage, product demos, or team introductions.
2. Increases Engagement
Photos and videos are some of the most engaging types of content on social media and websites. They grab attention quickly and encourage likes, shares, comments, and interactions, helping boost your brand’s reach.
3. Shows Your Products and Services in Action
Customers want to see how your products or services work. By sharing visual demonstrations or testimonials, you help potential customers understand what you offer and how it can benefit them. This can influence their decision to buy or engage with your business.
4. Humanizes Your Brand
Posting visuals of your team, workspace, or community involvement helps humanize your brand, making it more relatable and approachable. People connect with people, and showing the human side of your business can foster stronger connections with your audience.
5. Boosts Your SEO and Online Visibility
Search engines like Google prioritize content with rich media, such as photos and videos. By regularly posting visuals, you can improve your site’s SEO, increasing the chances that your business appears in search results and driving more traffic to your website.
6. Tells Your Story
Photos and videos help tell your brand’s story visually. Whether it’s showcasing your company’s journey, milestones, or day-to-day operations, visual content helps communicate your brand identity and values in a way that text alone cannot.

Advertising
What is PPC?
PPC (Pay-Per-Click) is an advertising model where businesses pay a fee each time their ad is clicked. It’s a way to buy visits to your website rather than earning them organically. PPC is commonly used on platforms like Google Ads, Facebook, and Instagram. You bid on keywords relevant to your business, and your ad appears in search engine results or social media feeds.
What are Display Ads?
Display Ads are visual advertisements (images, videos, or animations) that appear on websites, apps, or social media platforms. They are designed to attract the attention of potential customers while they browse the internet. Display ads can be used for brand awareness or retargeting people who have visited your site but didn’t convert.
What are YouTube Ads?
YouTube Ads are video advertisements that appear before, during, or after YouTube videos. These ads can target specific demographics, interests, or video types. There are different types of YouTube ads, such as skippable ads, non-skippable ads, and bumper ads, allowing you to reach a broad audience or a niche market depending on your goals.
What are Facebook Ads?
Facebook Ads allow you to create highly targeted ads based on user demographics, interests, behaviors, and even previous interactions with your business. These ads can appear in the Facebook news feed, stories, or the right-hand column and can be in the form of images, videos, carousels, or collections, each aimed at driving different types of engagement or conversions.
What are TikTok Ads?
TikTok Ads are short, engaging video ads that appear on TikTok, a popular platform for short-form videos. These ads can take several forms, such as In-Feed Ads (which appear as users scroll), TopView Ads (which appear when the app is opened), or Branded Hashtag Challenges. TikTok ads are great for reaching a younger, highly engaged audience.
What are Instagram Ads?
Instagram Ads are paid promotions that appear in the Instagram feed, stories, or explore page. Instagram ads can be image-based, video-based, or carousel ads that allow users to swipe through multiple images or videos. Instagram’s visual platform makes it ideal for brand-building, e-commerce, and direct-response campaigns.
What are LinkedIn Ads?
LinkedIn Ads are paid advertisements targeted at professionals and businesses. These ads can be in the form of sponsored content, message ads, or text ads, designed to reach decision-makers, drive traffic, and generate leads. LinkedIn ads are ideal for B2B marketing and reaching a more professional audience.
How much should I spend in Advertising?
The amount you should spend on advertising depends on your goals, industry, and target audience. As a general guideline:
- Small businesses might spend $1,000 to $3,000/month.
- Medium businesses might allocate $3,000 to $10,000/month.
- Larger businesses might spend $10,000+ per month. It’s important to consider your ROI (Return on Investment) and adjust your budget based on what generates the best results for your business.

What are Google Ads keywords?
Google Ads keywords are specific words or phrases that trigger your ads to appear when someone searches for them on Google. By bidding on these keywords, your ad is eligible to show up in relevant searches. Choosing the right keywords is crucial for targeting the right audience and getting the most out of your ad spend.
What are the types of keyword matching?
There are three main types of keyword matching in Google Ads:
- Broad Match: Shows your ad for searches related to your keywords, even if the exact keyword isn’t used.
- Phrase Match: Your ad appears when a search includes the exact phrase or close variations of your keywords.
- Exact Match: Your ad appears only when someone searches for your exact keyword or close variations.
- Broad Match: Shows your ad for searches related to your keywords, even if the exact keyword isn’t used.
- Phrase Match: Your ad appears when a search includes the exact phrase or close variations of your keywords.
- Exact Match: Your ad appears only when someone searches for your exact keyword or close variations.
How does Google Ads keyword matching work?
Google Ads keyword matching works by determining which searches trigger your ads based on the type of match you use. Broad match casts a wide net, showing ads for related terms, while exact match targets very specific search queries. The more restrictive your match type, the more relevant your ad is to the searcher, but you’ll reach fewer people.
How do keywords reach the right customers?
Keywords help reach the right customers by matching your ads to their search queries. When users search for a term related to your product or service, your ad is displayed if the keyword you’re bidding on aligns with their search intent. Google Ads uses your keywords, bidding strategy, and audience targeting to ensure your ads appear in front of the most relevant audience.

After cancellation, having your own website host is crucial to ensure that your website remains online and fully functional. Here’s why:
1. Continued Website Access
Once our services are canceled, we will no longer manage or pay for hosting on your behalf. You’ll need your own hosting to ensure your website remains accessible to visitors.
2. Full Control
With your own hosting account, you gain complete control over your website, including performance, backups, and security. This means you can manage your site independently or with another provider.
3. Prevent Website Downtime

What happens if I don’t give a 30 Notice or pay my last bill?
If you do not provide a 30-day written notice or fail to pay your last bill, here’s what could happen:
1. Service Termination Without Offboarding
Failure to provide the required notice could result in the termination of services without the benefit of the offboarding process. This means you may not receive important handovers, such as login credentials or access to website assets.
2. Risk of Losing Access to Website or Data
If your final payment is not made, we may withhold access to your website, hosting, and other assets until the balance is cleared. This could lead to temporary or permanent loss of access to your site and important data.
Failure to meet the terms of the contract, such as giving proper notice or paying your final invoice, may lead to legal action or additional fees, as outlined in the service agreement.
To avoid disruptions and ensure a smooth transition, it’s important to follow the cancellation terms, provide proper notice, and settle any outstanding balances.
