Questions About Getting Your Business Online?

How do I get my small business online?

Getting your small business online involves three main steps:

1. Create a professional website - This is your digital storefront where customers learn about your services, hours, and how to contact you.
2. Set up your Google Business Profile - This makes you show up on Google Maps and in local search results when people search for businesses like yours.
3. Establish social media presence - Being active on the platforms where your customers actually spend time.

At Dizrul's, we handle all of this during our free 30-day startup program. You don't need any technical knowledge - we build everything together and explain it in plain English so you understand what we're creating.

How much does it cost to get a website for my small business?

Our 30-day startup is completely free - no credit card required, no hidden costs. After that, you have options:

• Manage it yourself: $0/month - We give you everything we built plus detailed guides so you can handle updates yourself.
• We manage it for you: Custom pricing - Tailored to what YOUR business actually needs.

Why custom pricing? Because your business is unique:

• A contractor needing monthly website updates has different needs than a restaurant posting daily specials
• Managing one social platform costs less than managing three
• Some businesses need simple maintenance, others need active daily management

On Day 15, we'll discuss transparent pricing based on exactly what you need. You only pay for what makes sense for YOUR business.

Third-party costs you might have:

• Domain name (yourname.com): $12-15/year
• Email marketing platform (if needed): Often free, or $13-20/month for larger lists
• Booking system (salons, gyms): Many free options; paid versions $15-50/month
• Payment processing (retail): Typically 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction

These are paid directly to the service providers - we never mark them up. We always start with free tools when available.

What if I don't understand technology?

That's exactly why we exist. Most of our clients don't consider themselves tech-savvy, and that's perfectly fine.

Here's how we make it work:

• We explain everything in plain English - no jargon, no acronyms you don't understand
• We take as much time as needed to make sure you're comfortable with what we're building
• You can be as hands-on or hands-off as you want
• You don't need to become a tech expert - you just need someone who can translate tech into normal human language

That's literally our tagline: "The Human Side of Technology." We're here to make tech make sense.

Is the 30-day startup really free?

Yes, completely free. Here's exactly what that means:

• No credit card required - We don't even ask for payment information
• No hidden fees - We're not going to surprise you with charges
• No obligation - On Day 31, you can walk away with everything we built, no questions asked

We spend 30 days building your website, Google Business Profile, and social media presence. On Day 15, we have an honest conversation about pricing if you want us to continue managing things. On Day 31, you decide your path forward. Either way, everything we built is yours to keep - the website, social accounts, all of it.

Do you only work with certain types of businesses?

We work with all types of small businesses, but we especially love helping local service businesses like:

• Contractors and tradespeople (electricians, plumbers, HVAC, etc.)
• Restaurants and cafes
• Gyms and fitness studios
• Salons and spas
• Retail shops
• Auto repair and services
• Home services businesses

If you're a small business owner (solo or up to 10 employees) who needs help getting online or improving your digital presence, we can help. We specialize in businesses where the owner is great at their craft but doesn't have time to become a tech expert too.

Can you help me if I already have a website?

Absolutely. Many of our clients are in one of these situations:

• They have a website that someone built years ago, but they can't update it themselves
• Their website doesn't work properly on mobile phones (huge problem since most people browse on phones)
• The website exists but doesn't show up on Google
• They're paying too much for basic updates

During our initial conversation, we'll look at what you've got and recommend the best path forward. Sometimes we rebuild from scratch, sometimes we can work with what you have. We'll be honest about what makes the most sense for your specific situation.

What is Google Business Profile and why do I need it?

Google Business Profile (formerly called Google My Business) is what makes your business show up when people search on Google.

Here's why it matters: When someone searches "plumber near me" or "restaurant in Cleveland TX" or "auto repair", businesses with optimized Google Business Profiles show up first - both on Google Maps and in regular search results.

It's completely free to set up, but it requires proper optimization to be effective. Things like:

• Accurate business information (hours, location, services)
• Professional photos
• Regular posts to keep your profile active
• Responding to reviews
• Choosing the right business categories

We handle all of this during your 30-day startup, and if you choose ongoing management, we keep it updated and optimized.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No contracts ever. Here's our philosophy on this:

If you choose ongoing management after your 30-day startup, it's month-to-month. If we're not adding value, you can cancel anytime. We believe we should earn your business every single month, not lock you into a contract you can't get out of.

You're never trapped. You always have options. That's how it should be.

How do I manage my social media when I don't have time?

This is one of the most common challenges we solve. You basically have two options:

Option 1: We help you do it efficiently yourself

We set up systems and train you to create and schedule posts in just a few minutes per week. With the right tools and templates, social media doesn't have to eat up hours of your time.

Option 2: We handle it for you

We manage all your social media posting. You can provide content (photos from your phone, quick updates about your business), or we can create everything using AI-generated images and copy that matches your brand.

We always start with ONE platform - whichever makes the most sense for your business - and create a consistent posting schedule. Either way, your social media stays active without becoming another full-time job for you.

What happens after the 30 days?

On Day 31, you own everything we've built together:

• Your website (hosted, live, and functional)
• Your social media accounts (fully set up and active)
• Your Google Business Profile (optimized and claimed)
• All the tools and systems we implemented

You then choose one of two paths:

Path 1: Manage it yourself

We give you detailed guides, training videos, and step-by-step instructions for everything. You save money by handling updates yourself. We're always available if you get stuck or need help later.

Path 2: We continue managing it

Custom pricing based on your specific needs. We handle all updates, posts, and maintenance. You get regular reports showing what we're doing, and we keep everything running smoothly while you focus on your actual business.

Your pricing is tailored to:

• How much website maintenance you need
• Social media management requirements
• Google Business Profile activity level
• Any special tools or features

There's no pressure either way. Some clients want full control, others want to hand off the tech completely. Both options are perfectly valid - it's about what works for YOU.

Where are you located? Do you only work with local businesses?

We're based in Cleveland, Texas. We love working with local businesses because we can meet in person, understand the local market, and provide that personal touch.

That said, we work with small businesses nationwide. For clients outside our local area, we connect via phone or video call. You get the same quality service and personal attention - we just meet virtually instead of over coffee.

Whether you're down the street or across the country, we're here to help.

Can I talk to a real person instead of filling out forms?

Absolutely! That's kind of our whole thing.

When you contact us, you're talking to Ray - not a chatbot, not a support ticket system, not a sales department. Just a real person who genuinely understands your business challenges because I'm a small business owner too.

You can:

• Call directly: (832) 480-6388
• Fill out our contact form and I'll call you back
• Request a free tech assessment and we'll schedule a conversation

Either way, we'll set up a time to have a real conversation about your business. No scripts, no pressure, just helpful discussion.

What makes you different from other web design companies?

A few things set us apart:

We're a small business helping small businesses

We're not a big agency with high overhead and corporate pricing. I'm a small business owner in Cleveland, TX. My wife runs a handmade air freshener business, my son has a brittle candy business. We understand your challenges because we live them.

Actually free trial

Our 30-day startup isn't a demo or a limited preview. We actually build your digital presence - website, Google profile, social media - and you keep everything regardless of what you decide on Day 31.

No jargon, just plain English

We explain everything so you actually understand what we're building and why. Knowledge is power, and we'll never keep you in the dark to keep you dependent.

No contracts

Month-to-month service. If we're not adding value, you can walk away. We earn your business every month.

You choose your involvement level

Want to learn and manage things yourself? Great, we'll teach you. Want us to handle everything? Also great. We adapt to what works for you.

I need help but I'm not sure where to start. What should I do?

Just reach out. Seriously, that's it.

• Call us at (832) 480-6388
• Fill out our contact form
• Request the free tech assessment

We'll have a casual 15-30 minute conversation about:

• Your business and what you do
• What challenges you're facing with technology
• Whether we can actually help (and honest feedback if we're not the right fit)

There's no pressure, no sales pitch, no commitment. Just an honest discussion about what makes sense for your situation. Even if we're not the right fit, we'll point you toward resources that might help.

You've got nothing to lose by having a conversation.
