How much does a new website cost?
Website costs vary depending on the size, functionality and goals of your business. We provide tailored website solutions designed to generate leads and support long-term growth.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most website projects take between 4 to 8 weeks depending on the complexity of the project and how quickly content and feedback are provided.
Will my website be mobile-friendly?
Yes. Every website we build is designed to work seamlessly across desktop, tablet and mobile devices.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Absolutely. We can refresh your current website’s design, improve user experience and optimise it for conversions and search visibility.
Do I own my website once it’s completed?
Yes. You retain ownership of your website and content.
Can I update my website myself?
Yes. We build websites with easy-to-manage content management systems so you can make updates when needed.
What website platforms do you use?
We build websites on platforms that best suit your business goals, budget and functionality requirements. For most service-based businesses, we recommend WordPress due to its flexibility, scalability and SEO capabilities. We can also advise on other platforms where appropriate.
Why do you recommend WordPress?
WordPress powers a significant portion of websites worldwide and offers excellent flexibility, SEO performance and long-term scalability. It allows businesses to easily update content, add functionality and grow their website as their needs evolve.
Will my website be optimised for SEO?
Yes. Every website we build follows SEO best practices, including mobile-friendly design, fast loading speeds, clear site structure, optimised headings and technical foundations that support search visibility.
What about hosting and my domain?
Your domain and hosting will need to be set up by you, so everything stays in your name.
I’ll provide clear guidance and recommendations to make the process simple and ensure everything is set up correctly.
Can you help with website hosting and maintenance?
Yes. We can assist with hosting recommendations, website maintenance, security updates and ongoing support to ensure your website continues to perform effectively.
What information do you need to get started on a website project?
To get started, we typically need an understanding of your business, services, target audience, goals, branding assets and any existing website content. We’ll guide you through the entire process and provide a clear roadmap before development begins.
Do I need to provide content?
You’re welcome to provide your own content, which often helps keep things personal and aligned with your brand.
I’ll guide you on what’s needed and refine your content so it’s clear, structured, and optimised for SEO.
If you’d rather not write it yourself, I offer professional copywriting and can source images if needed – both at an additional cost and also recommend a photographer.
What is SEO and why is it important?
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) helps your website appear in search results when potential customers are looking for your services online. Effective SEO can increase visibility, traffic and enquiries.
How long does SEO take to work?
SEO is a long-term strategy. Most businesses start seeing meaningful improvements within 3 to 6 months, although results vary depending on competition and website history.
How do you choose keywords for SEO?
We research the terms your ideal customers are actively searching for and focus on keywords with strong commercial intent that are likely to generate enquiries.
Can you help my business rank on Google?
Yes. Our SEO strategies focus on improving website structure, content, local SEO, technical performance and authority signals.
Is SEO better than Google Ads?
Both have advantages. SEO provides long-term organic visibility, while Google Ads can generate immediate traffic. Many businesses benefit from using both strategically.
Do you provide local SEO services?
Yes. We help businesses improve visibility in local search results through website optimisation, Google Business Profile management and local citation strategies.
How is AI changing SEO?
AI-powered search tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews are changing how people find information online. While traditional SEO remains important, businesses also need content that clearly answers questions, demonstrates expertise and provides valuable information that AI systems can reference and recommend.
Why should I invest in SEO if people are using AI tools like ChatGPT?
AI tools still rely on information from websites and trusted online sources. Businesses with strong websites, helpful content and clear expertise are more likely to be referenced by AI-powered search tools. Investing in SEO today helps improve your visibility in both traditional search engines and emerging AI search experiences.
Can SEO help my business appear in AI search results?
Yes. Optimising your website with high-quality content, clear website structure, topical authority, FAQ content and strong trust signals can improve your chances of being referenced in AI-generated search results and AI-powered search experiences.
What is AI Search Optimisation?
AI Search Optimisation focuses on improving your website’s visibility in AI-driven search tools and answer engines. This includes creating content that directly answers user questions, building topical authority, implementing structured data and demonstrating expertise within your industry.
Will AI replace traditional SEO?
No. Search engines still rely on websites as their primary source of information. However, businesses that adapt their SEO strategy to include AI search visibility will be better positioned as search behaviour continues to evolve.
How do I get my business found in ChatGPT and AI search tools?
To improve visibility in AI-powered search tools, businesses should focus on creating helpful, authoritative content, answering common customer questions, maintaining a technically sound website and building a strong online presence. AI platforms often reference businesses that demonstrate expertise and provide clear, trustworthy information.
What is a Google Business Profile?
A Google Business Profile is your business listing that appears in Google Search and Google Maps. It helps customers find, contact and review your business.
Why is Google Business Profile important?
A well-optimised profile can increase local visibility, website visits, phone calls and enquiries.
Can you optimise my Google Business Profile?
Yes. We optimise business information, service areas, categories, posts, images and local search signals.
Can you help me get more Google reviews?
Yes. We can implement review generation strategies that encourage more customers to leave genuine reviews.
How often should my Google Business Profile be updated?
Regular updates help maintain engagement and can support local search performance. We recommend ongoing optimisation and management.
Why is website content important for SEO?
Quality content helps search engines understand your expertise and provides valuable information that potential customers are searching for.
Do you write website content?
Yes. We create SEO-focused website content that is designed to attract visitors and encourage enquiries.
How often should I publish blog content?
Consistency is more important than frequency. For many service-based businesses, publishing one to four high-quality articles per month is effective.
What is a content strategy?
A content strategy is a plan for creating valuable content that supports your SEO goals, answers customer questions and builds authority within your industry.
If your website is outdated, difficult to use, or not converting visitors into enquiries, a website redesign may be the best place to start. If your website is already performing well but isn’t attracting enough visitors, SEO may be the better investment. We’ll assess your situation and recommend the right approach.
How can my website generate more enquiries?
A high-performing website combines clear messaging, strong calls-to-action, trust signals, fast loading speeds and SEO best practices.
What makes a good service-based business website?
A good website clearly communicates what you do, who you help, why customers should choose you and how they can contact you.
Can SEO help generate more leads?
Yes. By attracting people actively searching for your services, SEO can become one of the most cost-effective lead generation channels.
Do you guarantee leads or rankings?
No reputable SEO or marketing agency can guarantee specific rankings or a certain number of leads, as search engines and customer behaviour are outside anyone’s direct control. What we do guarantee is a strategic, data-driven approach focused on improving your online visibility, attracting qualified traffic and creating more opportunities for enquiries. Our goal is to build sustainable long-term growth through effective website design, SEO and local search optimisation, rather than relying on unrealistic promises.
How much does a website cost?
Website pricing varies depending on the size, functionality and goals of your project. Factors such as the number of pages, custom features, content requirements and integrations can all influence the investment required.
Our website packages start from $2,500, with tailored solutions available for businesses requiring additional functionality or custom features. We provide customised proposals based on your business goals and requirements. Learn more here: https://studioandcomarketing.com.au/services/small-business-website-design/
When and how do I pay for my website build?
A 50% deposit is required to secure your project and commence work on your website.
The remaining 50% balance is invoiced when the website is complete and ready for launch, regardless of whether the launch date is delayed due to outstanding client feedback, content, approvals or other factors outside of our control.
Final website launch, ownership transfer and handover will take place once the final balance has been received.
Payments can be made via credit card, debit card, bank transfer or PayPal.
Do you offer payment plans?
Depending on the scope of the project, payment plan options may be available. Please contact us to discuss your requirements and we’ll work with you to find a suitable solution.
Are there any ongoing website costs?
Most websites have ongoing costs such as website hosting, domain name renewals and optional maintenance services. We will clearly explain any ongoing costs and can recommend domain and hosting providers, before your project begins so there are no surprises.
How much does SEO cost?
SEO investment varies depending on your goals, industry competition and the level of support required. We offer tailored SEO solutions designed to help service-based businesses improve visibility, attract qualified traffic and generate more enquiries.

We are based in Melbourne but work with clients Australia-wide. Everything is set up for seamless remote collaboration.
We primarily work with service-based businesses and professional service providers. If you’re unsure whether we’re the right fit, get in touch and we’ll discuss your goals and requirements.
Before anything is designed, we focus on direction; understanding your business, your audience, and how people are actually searching for your services. This ensures your website is built with purpose from the start.
Once the strategy is set, we design and build your website with SEO, structure, and user experience in mind, so it not only looks professional, but attracts the right visitors and turns them into enquiries.
No two businesses are the same. Your website and SEO approach is shaped around your services, your goals, and how competitive your space is, so you’re investing in what actually makes an impact.
After launch, we continue to refine and optimise, improving visibility, strengthening performance, and helping you build momentum over time.
