01How much does a small business website cost?
Most small business websites start at $1,500–$3,000 depending on the number of pages and level of SEO work included. A free consultation always comes first — you'll get a clear, itemized quote after one call.
02How long does it take to build a website?
Most projects are complete and live within 3–5 weeks. Larger sites or those with extensive SEO setup can take 6–8 weeks. Your timeline is agreed in writing before work begins.
03Do you use templates or custom designs?
Every site is designed and built from scratch in Next.js. No templates, no page builders, no Wix or Squarespace. Each page is composed for the specific business it represents.
04Will my website work on phones?
Yes — mobile-first is the standard approach on every project. The mobile experience is designed first, before desktop, because the majority of local service searches happen on phones.
05What platform do you build on?
Next.js is the primary framework. It produces fast, SEO-friendly websites that score well on Core Web Vitals. Hosting is typically handled through Vercel or a client's existing provider.
01Do you include SEO in website projects?
Yes — SEO is built into every website project, not added as an afterthought. This includes page structure, heading hierarchy, schema markup, internal linking, sitemap, and meta tags.
02What is local SEO and why does it matter?
Local SEO helps your business appear in Google searches for services in your area — including the map pack. For a Houston contractor, local SEO means showing up when someone searches "roofer near me" or "remodeling company Houston."
03How long does SEO take to show results?
Most local SEO work starts showing measurable movement in rankings within 60–90 days. Significant traffic and call increases typically develop over 3–6 months. Month-one results include all technical fixes and GBP improvements.
04What is Google Business Profile optimization?
Google Business Profile is the listing that shows up in Google Maps and the local map pack. Optimization includes correct business categories, a complete service list, quality photos, and a strategy for getting and responding to reviews.
05Do you offer monthly SEO services?
Yes — monthly SEO retainers include ongoing technical maintenance, content updates, local citation work, ranking reports, and regular check-ins. Retainers start at $300/month.
01Do you only work with Houston businesses?
No — while most projects are for Houston and surrounding areas (Katy, Sugar Land, Cypress, The Woodlands, Pearland), Vasquez Web Studio works with clients US-wide.
02How do I get started?
Contact us for a free consultation — by phone, email, or the contact form. We'll learn about your business, review your current site if you have one, and provide a clear quote before any work begins.
03What if I already have a website?
No problem. We can audit your existing site, identify what's holding back your rankings, and either improve the current site or recommend a rebuild depending on the situation.
04Do you work with specific industries?
The primary focus is local service businesses — contractors, remodelers, landscapers, roofers, painters, cleaning companies, and other trades. That said, any local business that needs more Google visibility is a good fit.
05What does a free consultation include?
A 30-minute call to review your current site, your target keywords, your service area, and what you want from a website. You'll leave with a clear picture of what's needed and a follow-up quote within 48 hours.
The most common FAQ paths lead into industry-specific service pages. Start with the page that matches your business type, then use local SEO to connect those services to the markets where customers are searching.
