Frequently asked questions

Straight answers before we start.

The useful questions about cost, timing, ownership, platforms and what I can realistically promise.

How much does a basic website cost?

A basic website starts from $650. The final quote depends on the agreed pages, content, design and functionality. Hosting, domains and other ongoing or third-party costs are identified separately. See the website starting prices for the full context.

Can you help with Facebook and Instagram advertising?

Yes. I support Meta campaign setup, creative, copy, forms, landing pages and ongoing optimisation. We agree on the work and budget around the audience and outcome you want. Explore Meta Ads and digital marketing support.

Will a new website include ongoing SEO?

A website build includes the agreed technical foundations, but ongoing SEO is a separate scope. Competitive search work can involve continued content improvements, analysis and technical maintenance. I explain the difference between what is built at launch and what needs ongoing attention.

Can AI help my business website?

It can help with a defined task, such as finding gaps in customer information or helping route enquiries. We should first decide what problem it solves, what information it can use and how a person takes over. Adding AI is worthwhile when it improves the customer experience or saves useful time.

Can we work together remotely?

Yes. You can contact me by phone or email, and project information and feedback can be shared remotely. I am based in Nambour and support businesses across the Sunshine Coast and Australia. The communication and access needed are agreed around the project.

What does Web Net Search do?

I build and rebuild websites, improve technical and local SEO, manage hosting and website care, create forms and content, and support digital channels such as Google Business Profile, social media, Meta advertising, email and Microsoft 365.

Are you based on the Sunshine Coast?

Yes. Web Net Search is owner-operated from Nambour, Queensland. I work with businesses across the Sunshine Coast and with clients elsewhere in Australia.

Will I deal directly with the person doing the work?

Yes. You deal directly with me, Nick. I handle the planning, implementation, review and reporting, and I bring in a specialist only when the project genuinely requires one.

How much does SEO cost?

SEO maintenance starts from $300 per month and active ongoing SEO starts from $200 per week. Defined audits and technical projects are quoted around the size, condition and competitiveness of the website.

How long does SEO take to work?

Some technical fixes take effect after the next crawl, but meaningful organic growth usually takes months. Timing depends on the site’s history, competition, authority, content, implementation and how quickly search engines reassess it.

Can you guarantee a number-one Google ranking?

No. Nobody controls Google, competitors or search behaviour. I provide evidence-based work, careful implementation and honest reporting, but I do not sell ranking guarantees.

Do you only work on WordPress websites?

No. I work with WordPress and Elementor, static HTML websites and other established setups where the access and technology make the project practical.

Can you improve my current website without replacing it?

Often, yes. I first identify whether the design, content, code, hosting or structure is causing the problem. A focused rebuild or staged improvement may be better value than starting again.

Will I own my website and accounts?

Yes. The business should have owner or administrator access to its domain, hosting, website, email, analytics, Search Console, social profiles and related services. I document the handover and do not rely on lock-in.

Can you write or reduce the website content?

Yes. I can rewrite, combine and remove content so each page has a clearer purpose and sounds like the business. I preserve useful search value and add redirects when retiring established URLs.

Do you use AI in your work?

I use modern tools, including AI, where they improve analysis or production. The final strategy, code and content are reviewed against the business, source data and live website. I do not publish mass-produced filler and call it a strategy.

What do you need from me to begin?

Usually the current website URL, a clear description of the problem or goal, relevant access, examples you like or dislike, and timely approval of business facts, claims and content.
