Ann Arbor web design and SEO FAQs

Do you offer ongoing website maintenance?
Yes. Our care plans cover WordPress updates, backups, security monitoring, uptime checks and small content changes each month.

Most businesses see early movement in map results and long-tail rankings within 60 to 90 days. Competitive services usually take four to six months of consistent work on content, reviews and local signals.
