How much does a website cost?

Our websites start at ₱3,000 for a single-page business site and go up depending on complexity. E-commerce sites start at ₱7,000, and custom business systems start at ₱8,000. We always provide a clear quote before starting any work — no surprises.

How long does it take to build a website?

A simple business website typically takes 5–7 working days. More complex projects like e-commerce sites or custom systems take 2–4 weeks. We provide a timeline estimate during your free consultation.

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?

Yes! All our plans include post-launch support (30–60 days depending on the plan). After that, we offer affordable monthly maintenance packages or you can reach out anytime for one-time fixes and updates.

What is a Data Protection Officer (DPO) service?

As a certified DPO, we help your business comply with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173) and international data protection standards. This includes creating privacy policies, conducting data audits, handling compliance documentation, and serving as your outsourced DPO.

Do I need to be in the Philippines to work with you?

Not at all! We work with clients worldwide. Everything is handled online — consultations, project updates, file sharing, and support. We use our client portal so you can track progress from anywhere.

Can I see my project progress while it's being built?

Absolutely. Every client gets access to our Client Portal where you can view project status, track tasks, see invoices, and sign agreements. You'll always know exactly where your project stands.

What technologies do you use?

We primarily build with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS for websites and web applications. For databases, we use Supabase (PostgreSQL). All our solutions are modern, fast, and mobile-responsive.

Is the free consultation really free?

Yes, completely free with no obligation. We'll discuss your needs, recommend solutions, and give you a clear quote. You decide if you want to proceed — no pressure, no hidden fees.

Do you accept international payments?

We're currently setting up international payment options including Stripe and PayPal. For now, we can arrange payment via bank transfer. Contact us and we'll work out the best option for you.

What if I need changes after the project is delivered?

Minor revisions are included during and after the build phase. For larger changes or new features after launch, we provide a quote based on the scope of work. Our clients often come back for ongoing improvements as their business grows.

7 Local SEO Mistakes Costing Cebu and Manila Businesses Customers Every Day

Local SEO in the Philippines is one of the most winnable digital channels there is. Search volumes are high, intent is strong, and most competitors have basic gaps you can outflank in 60 days.

But every audit we run finds the same seven mistakes — repeated across Cebu, Manila, Davao, and every other Philippine city. Fix any three of these and you usually move into the top 5 local results within 90 days.

Mistake 1 — Inconsistent NAP Across the Web

NAP stands for Name, Address, Phone. If your business is listed as "Tito's Auto Repair" on Google, "Tito Auto Repair Shop" on Facebook, and "Titos Auto Repair Inc." on Yellow Pages PH, Google's confidence in your data drops. Fix: pick one canonical version of each field and update every directory listing to match exactly.

Mistake 2 — Empty Google Business Profile Description

The 750-character description field is one of Google's strongest relevance signals — and most PH businesses leave it blank or put a single sentence. Fix: write a description that naturally includes your top three target keywords, your city, your specialty, and the brand names customers search for.

Mistake 3 — No Recent Reviews

Profiles with no reviews in the last 60 days look dormant to Google. Recency matters more than total count for ranking. Fix: implement an "ask every happy customer" habit. Our Google Reviews guide covers the 9 honest ways to grow them.

Mistake 4 — Never Replying to Reviews

Replying to reviews is itself a ranking factor — Google confirmed this years ago. And replies tell future readers what kind of business you are. Fix: reply to every review, positive and negative, within 48 hours. Even a one-line "Salamat!" counts.

Mistake 5 — Service Area Set Too Broad

For service-area businesses, setting your radius to "all of Luzon" or "everywhere" makes Google trust you less than a shop with a focused 10 to 20 km radius. Fix: set a realistic service radius matching where you actually deliver well.

Mistake 6 — No Schema Markup on the Website

Schema markup is the structured data that tells Google "I am a Philippine business of type X, located at Y, with hours Z." Most freelance-built PH websites have none. Fix: add LocalBusiness schema to your homepage. (We will cover this in detail in an upcoming article.)

Mistake 7 — Stale Holiday Hours

Philippine holidays are frequent and Google penalizes profiles with outdated hours during them. Customers who drive to a closed shop often leave a negative review. Fix: update your hours before every long weekend — Holy Week, Labor Day, Independence Day, All Saints, Christmas, New Year.

The 60-Minute Self-Diagnostic

Spend one hour going through this checklist on your own profile:

Search your business name on Google Maps. Does the panel show?
Is your NAP identical on website + GBP + Facebook + Yellow Pages PH?
Is your description 600+ characters and keyword-natural?
When was your most recent review?
Have you replied to your last 10 reviews?
Is your service area set to a realistic radius?
Does your website have LocalBusiness schema?
Are your hours current for the next Philippine holiday?

Every "no" is a fixable mistake costing you customers right now.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast will fixing these move my rankings?

Most businesses see measurable Map Pack movement within 30 to 60 days after fixing 3 or more of these. Reviews-related improvements take 60 to 90 days because they need a steady stream of new reviews to compound.

Do I need an SEO agency for any of this?

No. Every fix on this list is something you or your team can do yourselves with a free afternoon. Agencies add value when you want speed, accountability, or coverage across multiple locations.

What if I rank well already?

Then defend the position. Local SEO is competitive — the businesses below you in the Map Pack are working on these same fixes right now.
