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.

Google Business Profile Photos: 12 That Drive More Calls in 2026

Profiles with 100+ photos consistently outperform profiles with under 10 photos by a wide margin in calls, direction requests, and click-through to website. Photos are the most updatable element on your Google Business Profile, and Google rewards recency.

But not all photos are equal. A blurry shot of your business sign does not move the needle. Here are the 12 specific types of photos every Philippine business should have on its profile, and why each one matters.

1. Storefront from Across the Street

The shot a customer driving by would see. Wide enough to show signage, narrow enough to feel like a single location. Helps customers recognize you when they arrive.

2. Storefront Up Close

Closer than #1. Shows your sign, door, and any decals or trust signals (DTI seal, BIR Form 2303, NPC Seal). Confirms legitimacy.

3. Interior Wide Shot

Step inside and shoot the entire space. Customers want to know what they are walking into. Reduces "is this place real?" anxiety.

4. The Customer Experience Area

The specific spot customers will sit, wait, or interact. The dental chair. The salon station. The cafe table. The repair counter. This is the photo customers actually base their decision on.

5. Team in Action

A photo of staff actively serving a customer, working on a product, or in the middle of a task. Avoid stiff group portraits — those look like stock photos. Candid working shots build trust.

6. Owner / Founder Headshot

A clear, friendly photo of you, the owner. Filipino businesses are highly relationship-driven — putting a face on the business converts.

7. Product or Menu Detail Shot

Close-up of what you actually sell. A dish, a service result, a finished repair, a finished website. Makes the abstract concrete.

8. Before and After (for Service Businesses)

If your service produces a visible result — repair shop, salon, cleaning, contracting — before/after photos are the single highest-conversion image type you can post.

9. Behind the Scenes / Process

Showing how the work happens. The prep kitchen. The shop floor. The dispatch room. Process photos signal expertise and care.

10. Awards, Certifications, or Recognition

DTI accreditation, BIR registration, professional licenses, industry awards. Visual proof of legitimacy. Especially powerful for service businesses.

11. Location Signals

Photos that show your neighborhood landmark — the church across the street, the famous restaurant next door, the major intersection. Helps customers visualize finding you.

12. Customer Reviews or Testimonials

A photo of a printed-out 5-star review, or a screenshot of a customer Facebook post saying nice things (with their permission). Social proof that lives inside your profile.

How to Shoot Them Properly

You do not need a professional camera. A modern smartphone is more than enough. But follow these rules:

Shoot in landscape (horizontal) orientation — Google Business Profile crops portrait photos awkwardly
Use natural light when possible — avoid harsh fluorescent or yellow indoor lighting
Keep the camera level — tilted shots look amateur
Wipe the lens before shooting — phone cameras get smudged from pocket use
Turn on location services on your phone before shooting — Google reads EXIF data and uses location as a soft proximity signal

How Often to Upload

Aim for at least one new photo per week. Profiles with recent uploads rank higher than equally well-photographed profiles that went stale. Consistency beats perfection.

Common Photo Mistakes

Logos uploaded as the cover photo (Google has dedicated logo slots — use them)
Watermarked or text-overlaid photos (Google may filter them)
Photos with prominent prices or pricing offers (treated as ads, sometimes rejected)
Stock photos pretending to be original
Photos of competitors' businesses by mistake

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have my pamangkin take the photos?

Absolutely. Any modern phone in steady hands gets the job done. Editing is optional but helpful — free apps like Snapseed and Lightroom Mobile can polish photos in 30 seconds.

How long until photos affect my ranking?

Photos themselves do not directly rank you. But they boost click-through and the resulting traffic IS a strong ranking signal. Expect to see indirect ranking lift within 30 to 90 days of consistent uploading.

Can I delete bad photos?

Yes, photos you uploaded. You generally cannot delete photos other people (customers) uploaded — only flag them for Google's review.
