Do I need an EIN before I can text customers?

Not always. Before a business number can text, the phone carriers have to register your business, and they ask for your legal business name and EIN. A sole proprietor can register without an EIN, with lower texting limits. Registration takes from a few days to a few weeks, and calls work while you wait.

Do I own my domain and my website content?

Your domain is registered in your business’s name, so it is yours. Your logo, words and photos are yours too. Your email subscription and your payment account are in your name as well. We host the website for you.

How long does it take?

It depends on what you already have and what you need. We give you the plan on the first call. Texting depends on carrier approval, which takes from a few days to a few weeks, so we start that first.

I already bought a domain. Can I keep it?

Yes. You keep the domain you bought, and we connect it to your new website and email.

Do you guarantee I will rank first on Google?

No. Nobody can honestly promise a ranking. We set your site and your Google Business Profile up the way search engines and assistants expect, so your business can be found and understood. Where you rank depends on Google and on your competition.

What’s included

Nine things a new business needs, done with you.

Each one says what we do and what stays yours.

Domain

Your domain

We register your domain in your business’s name, so you own it, and we manage the settings that point it at your website and email.

Website

Website design

A website built for your business, never a template, with booking, quote forms and payments built in. We host it for you.

Brand

Logo and brand basics

A clean logo, plus your colors and fonts, used the same way across your website and your messages to customers.

Business email

Email on your own domain with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. The subscription is yours; we set it up.

Phone

Phone and texting

A local business number for calls and texts. Texting goes live once the phone carriers approve your business, which takes from a few days to a few weeks.

Google

Google Business Profile

We create or claim your profile, take you through Google’s verification, and fill in your hours, services and photos.

SEO and GEO setup

Your site set up so Google and the assistants people ask for recommendations can find and understand your business: page titles and descriptions, your local business details, structured data, a sitemap, and a plain-language summary of your business for assistant search.

Payments

We help you open or connect Square, Stripe or PayPal so you can take cards. The merchant account is yours.

CRM

Your CRM, set up

The CRM is where your customers, bookings and invoices live. We put in your services and prices, your calendar, reminders, review requests, and your customer list if you have one.
