Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about how our websites work, what is included and how to get started.
This page collects the questions we hear most often from local business owners. Many people have been burned before by a slow site, a builder who disappeared, or a monthly bill that kept growing, so it is fair to ask plenty of questions before you commit. The answers below are written plainly, without sales spin, so you know what you are buying and what you are not.
If something here is unclear or your situation is unusual, treat these as a starting point rather than the final word. Every business is a little different, and the best way to get a precise answer for your case is to send a short email describing what you need. With that out of the way, here are the common questions and our straight answers.
What are AMP and static websites?
AMP and static websites are made from plain files that the browser can show without a database or heavy software in the background. AMP is a strict version of HTML built to load almost instantly on mobile, while static HTML gives a little more freedom with the same lightweight result. Because there is no admin panel or database, there is less that can break or be hacked, and hosting can be simple and cheap.
Are these websites good for Google?
They give you a solid technical base. Search engines like pages that load fast, have clear headings and readable text, and our sites are built that way. We add proper titles, descriptions and a sitemap so your pages can be found and indexed. That said, search results depend on many factors outside any builder's control, including your competition and your location.
Is SEO guaranteed?
No, and you should be careful with anyone who guarantees a top position. We do not promise a specific ranking in Google or any number of new customers. What we provide is a clean, fast, well-structured site with sensible on-page SEO. That is the part that can be controlled. Where you rank also depends on competition, reviews and ongoing activity.
How long does delivery take?
A single-page site is usually ready within a few days once we have your content. A multi-page or multilingual project takes longer because there is more to write, design and check. We agree on a realistic delivery date before starting, and if a deadline is too tight we tell you honestly rather than promising something we cannot meet.
Is the content included?
Yes. We write the text with you based on the notes you send. You do not need to be a copywriter. Tell us about your services, your area and what makes your business useful, and we turn that into clear sentences. You review the text and can request changes before the site goes live.
Are images included?
We can use photos you provide, which is often best because they show your real work. If you do not have suitable photos, we can prepare appropriate images for the site as an add-on. Either way, every image is compressed and sized correctly so it does not slow the page down.
Can you build multilingual websites?
Yes. We can build matching versions of your site in more than one language, with the correct language tags on each version. This suits businesses that serve customers who speak different languages or that operate in more than one country. Each language is a full version of the content, so it adds to the scope and price.
Is hosting included?
Hosting is separate from the build price. Because the sites are small static files, hosting is usually cheap and can even be free on some static hosts. We hand you the finished files so you can host them anywhere. If you prefer, we can help you set up hosting and a domain as an extra.
Do you use WordPress?
No. We build with AMP and static HTML instead of WordPress. This keeps the sites fast and removes the plugins and updates that often break WordPress installs or create security holes. The trade-off is that there is no built-in admin panel, so larger content changes are done by us rather than by you in a dashboard.
Are updates possible after launch?
Yes. You can ask us for changes after launch, such as new prices, updated hours or an extra service. Small text updates are quick and quoted as a minor add-on. Bigger changes, like adding several new pages, are quoted based on the work involved. You always know the cost before we make a change.
Can you create local SEO pages?
Yes. The Local SEO Landing Pack is built for this. We create a homepage plus separate landing pages for individual services or areas you cover, each with its own title and description. This helps each page focus on one topic, which is easier for search engines and clearer for customers.
How do I order?
Send a short email to contact@localbusinesssites.com with your business name, location, industry, the kind of site you need, your preferred language, rough number of pages, deadline and budget range. We reply with a quote, a suggested package and a delivery time. The order page lists everything to include so nothing is missed.
One more thing worth saying: there is no obligation in asking. Sending a question or a project request does not commit you to anything. We treat the first email as the start of a conversation, and plenty of people write in simply to understand their options before they decide. If our approach is not the right fit for you, we will say so honestly rather than push a package you do not need.
Still have a question?
If your question is not answered here, just ask. Send a short email and we will reply with a straight answer.
