Question 1

What is GrowBizmo?

Accepted Answer

GrowBizmo is a small business digital growth platform. We help small businesses build, manage, and continuously improve their professional online presence through a simple monthly website subscription. We are an ongoing digital partner, not a traditional web design agency.

Question 2

What exactly is the GrowBizmo website subscription?

Accepted Answer

It's one monthly payment that covers your domain, professional website, hosting, security, SEO foundations, support, and the ongoing work of building, managing, and improving your website. Instead of buying a website once and watching it age, you get a site that is actively improved every month by people who do this for a living.

Question 3

Do I need to sign a contract?

Accepted Answer

No. There are no contracts and no cancellation fees. We keep clients by doing good work every month. You can cancel any time with 30 days' notice.

Question 4

Who owns my domain name?

Accepted Answer

You do. Your domain is registered in your name with you as the legal registrant. If you ever leave, we transfer it to you – no charge, no delay, no hostage negotiation.

Question 5

What happens to my website if I cancel?

Accepted Answer

Your domain goes with you, along with your content and images. The custom-built site itself runs on our managed platform, so hosting ends with the subscription – but we'll export your content and help you move. We'll also tell you honestly if leaving is the right call for your situation.

Question 6

How long does it take to launch?

Accepted Answer

Most sites go live in 10 to 21 days. The main variable is how quickly we can get your photos, service details, and feedback. We do the writing and the technical work.

Question 7

Do you write the content, or do I have to?

Accepted Answer

We write it. We interview you for 45 minutes, then draft everything and send it for review. You edit and approve – you never stare at a blank page.

Question 8

What if I already have a website?

Accepted Answer

We'll audit what you have first. Sometimes the right answer is a rebuild; sometimes we keep what's working and improve it. We'll tell you which, even when a rebuild would earn us more.

Question 9

Is SEO really included, or is it an upsell?

Accepted Answer

Real technical and local SEO is included: page structure, metadata, schema, internal linking, sitemaps, page speed, Google Business Profile, and local signals. Aggressive multi-city campaigns and paid ad management are separate, and we'll say so plainly rather than hiding it.

Question 10

What is AI search optimization and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

More people now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Google's AI answers for recommendations instead of scrolling a results page. Those systems favor sites with clear, complete, well-structured answers and consistent business facts. We format your content so AI systems can read, trust, and quote you.

Question 11

How is this different from Wix, Squarespace, or GoDaddy?

Accepted Answer

Those are tools – you're the designer, writer, SEO, and maintenance crew. We're a service. Nobody hands you a login and wishes you luck. The website is the deliverable; the ongoing improvement is the product.

Question 12

How is this different from hiring an agency?

Accepted Answer

A typical local agency charges $4,000–$15,000 up front and then bills hourly for changes. We spread the build cost across the subscription and include the ongoing work, so you're never deciding whether a small fix is worth an invoice.

Question 13

How much does a website cost over five years?

Accepted Answer

A one-time agency build plus hosting, maintenance, plugin fees, and periodic redesigns commonly lands between $14,000 and $30,000 over five years – with long stretches of neglect in between. Our Growth plan is about $11,940 over the same period, with continuous improvement included.

Question 14

Can I make edits myself?

Accepted Answer

You can, and we'll train you if you want that. Most owners prefer to email us – we make the change the same or next business day at no extra cost.

Question 15

What if I need something that isn't included?

Accepted Answer

We'll quote it plainly, or tell you it isn't worth doing. We'd rather lose a small sale than sell you something that won't pay you back.

Question 16

Do you work with businesses outside the United States?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for English-language sites. Our local SEO work is strongest in the US and Canada.

Question 17

How many pages do I get?

Accepted Answer

Starter includes up to 5 pages, Growth up to 15, and Authority is unlimited. Most local businesses do well with 8–15 pages: home, about, contact, and one page per core service.

Question 18

Will my website be fast?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We build on modern edge hosting with optimized images and minimal scripts. Speed is a ranking factor and a conversion factor, so we treat it as a requirement, not a bonus.

Question 19

Is my site accessible to people with disabilities?

Accepted Answer

We build to WCAG 2.1 AA practices: keyboard navigation, semantic HTML, color contrast, focus states, and alt text. It's the right thing to do and it also happens to help your search performance.

Question 20

Do you handle email for my domain?

Accepted Answer

We configure your DNS for Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 and make sure your email deliverability records are correct. The mailbox subscription itself is billed by the provider.

Question 21

What reporting will I get?

Accepted Answer

Growth and Authority plans include a monthly report in plain English: how many people found you, what they searched, what they clicked, and how many contacted you. No 40-page PDFs full of vanity metrics.

Question 22

What if my business is seasonal?

Accepted Answer

We adjust the work through the year – pre-season content and offers, off-season improvements and maintenance. The subscription stays flat so your cash flow stays predictable.

Question 23

Can you help with reviews?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Growth and Authority include a review generation system: the right ask, at the right moment, with a link that makes leaving a review take under a minute. We also help you respond to negative reviews professionally.

Question 24

Do you do paid advertising?

Accepted Answer

We don't manage ad spend. We make sure that when your ads or your organic listings do send someone to your site, the site converts them. We're happy to recommend ad partners we trust.

Question 25

Why should I trust a company I found online?

Accepted Answer

You shouldn't, yet. Read our Learning Center, look at our case studies, and email us with a hard question. If our answers don't earn your trust, don't buy. That's genuinely how we'd want to be treated.
