Do I need to know anything about websites?

No. That's the whole point. We handle everything — you never touch a dashboard, edit code, or figure out hosting. You just have a great website.

What if I want to make a change?

Email us. Your plan includes 3 straightforward content changes per month — things like new hours, a swapped photo, or a reworded paragraph. We typically have it live within a couple of business days.

Is this just a template?

No. Your site is custom-built for your business. It's designed around your brand, your services, and your customers — not a one-size-fits-all template.

What are the three tiers?

Three plans, all month-to-month, no setup fees, no contracts. (1) Base — $59/month — a custom-built website (up to 15 sections or pages — articles and blog posts don't count toward that limit), hosting, security, domain management, professional email setup, ongoing SEO/AEO, 3 straightforward content changes per month by email, and a customer portal with site performance statistics and SEO/AEO settings. (2) Base + Content — $79/month — everything in Base, plus the Always-Fresh Content engine (12 custom articles to start, a new one every quarter, fresh content rotating onto your site every two weeks) and site usage statistics in the portal. (3) Base + Content + AI Lead Management — $99/month — everything in the Content tier, plus a 24/7 AI assistant that actively qualifies leads and a lead-tracking portal with structured lead records and full conversation history. You can switch tiers anytime.

Which tier should I pick?

The Lead Machine tier ($99) is what JoeHandlesIt is built for — a custom website, the Always-Fresh Content engine, and a 24/7 AI assistant that actively qualifies leads and delivers structured records to your portal. That's the full flow, and it's where most customers land. If you don't want the AI lead-qualification piece, Base + Content ($79) gives you everything except the AI assistant and lead-tracking portal. If you just want a great-looking, fast, professional website that's hosted and maintained for you — no content engine, no AI — Base ($59) covers it. You can start at any tier and move up (or down) whenever you want.

Do I get a professional email address?

Yes — email setup is included on every tier. If you don't have business email yet, we'll get yourname@yourbusiness.com configured on Google Workspace, including the technical setup (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, domain verification) so your messages land in inboxes instead of spam folders. The Google Workspace plan is selected and paid for by you directly to Google (starting at $8/month per email address for Business Starter), separate from our service fee. If you already use your own email — Microsoft 365, Zoho, Fastmail, your existing host, anything else — that's fine too. Keep it. We'll just configure your domain's DNS records to work with whatever email provider you already use, so your existing setup keeps working on your new domain.

What's the Google Business Profile add-on?

For an extra $99/month — available on top of any tier — we'll fully handle your Google Business Profile alongside your website: weekly posts, prompt review responses, photo and Q&A management, local citation monitoring, and a monthly local search performance report. It's optional and you can add it or drop it anytime.

Yes, anytime, no questions asked. There's no contract and no cancellation fee.

How long does it take to get my site up?

Most sites are live within a few days of our initial conversation. We move fast — because we know you've got a business to run.

What does the website assistant actually do?

On the Lead Machine tier ($99/month), a 24/7 AI assistant answers your visitors' questions even at 2am — and, importantly, it actively qualifies leads by asking about needs, budget, intent, and timeline. Every conversation that produces a qualified lead is delivered to your customer portal with structured details and the full conversation history attached. It's not a generic chatbot bolted onto your site — it's a lead-generation system built around your business specifically.

What if I already have a website?

No problem. We can build you a new one and help transition everything over. You won't miss a beat.

Do I have to write blog posts or come up with content?

No — on the Base + Content tier ($79/month) and the Lead Machine tier ($99/month), your site launches with a library of 12 articles written specifically for your business, and we add a new article every quarter you're with us. Fresh content rotates onto your site every two weeks automatically. Every article is written around your services, your customers, and the search terms people actually use to find businesses like yours — keeping your site looking active without you ever touching it. If you ever want to add a new article or change an existing one, just email us. (The Base tier doesn't include the content engine — if you start there and decide you want the articles, you can switch up to Base + Content anytime.)
