THE BUSINESS LAUNCH KIT

WHAT'S IN IT

Three parts do the heavy lifting

The rest of the kit exists to make these three work: a Google Business Profile people can find, a website that earns the call, and a review system that keeps your rating climbing.

Google Business Profile

Claimed or created, verified through our proven process, then optimized with the right categories, hours, service area and photos, so you show up in Maps and local search.

Your Website

Written, designed and built around your business, with hosting set up in your own account. It belongs to you from day one, not to us.

Google Review System

Customer consent, an automatic request after every job, and follow up when it goes quiet. Included for your first 12 months.

Your Free Google Business Profile Guide

Why does the shop down the street show up first? Our free guide walks you through the simple fixes that help local customers find you before they find your competitors.

How To Appear In Google Searches

Complete Google profiles with accurate categories get significantly more clicks and discovery searches.

Google Search

Less than 1% of searchers ever click on the second page of Google, and the very first result on the page captures about 25% of all clicks

Website

Over 45% of local searchers interact with the "Local Map Pack". Optimizing your profile moves you from an invisible listing to one that dominates

Google Business Profile

Having a 4.5+ star rating with over 50 reviews increases the likelihood of a top ranking by 61%

Google Reviews

The Google Review System

Reviews are why a stranger picks you.

Most owners ask for a review when they remember to. We install a system that asks every customer at the moment they are happiest, sends them straight to your Google profile, and follows up if they do not. Your first 12 months are included in the kit.

Frequently asked questions

Ready to Elevate your business?

Who is Philly Web Works for?

Owner operated local businesses in the Philadelphia area. Home services, trades, dental and wellness practices, professional services. If you run the business and you do not have a marketing person, that is exactly who we built this for.

What does the $297 a month cover?

The monthly is the work that keeps the site producing after launch.

Every month you get hosting, SSL, and a platform we keep running so it is never your problem, your Google Business Profile actively managed with posts and photos, automated review requests going out to every new customer, review monitoring with responses drafted for you, and a monthly report showing calls, forms, new reviews, and your rating.

Can I just pay the setup and skip the monthly?

If you don't want a monthly package, you can get a one-time custom website where you own everything.

How much of my time does this take?

Budget an hour or two total to gather all the information we need. We provide you with a Project Hub which is a guided workspace we set up for you. It walks you through exactly what we need, section by section, with instructions and examples for each one. You are not staring at a blank page trying to guess what to write about your own business. You answer the prompts and upload your photos, and we take it from there. Everything after that is on us. We build the site and configure all the automations.

Why do I have to provide the content?

Because nobody can describe your business better than you can, and a website written by someone who has never done your work reads like it.

Every section in the Project Hub tells you what we need, why we need it, and what a good answer looks like. Most owners get through it in one sitting.

How fast does my site go live?

Days, not months. Most agencies quote eight to twelve weeks. We do not.

Your review requests start going as soon as we are integrated with your Google Business Profile, so your Google profile is growing while the site is still being built.

What is your guarantee?

With the Found & Trusted Package, your website goes live almost immediately, and we start working on getting you 20 Google reviews as soon as you connect your Google Business Profile.

Do I own my website?

It depends on the path you pick. With the Found & Trusted Package, we host your site for you, so there's nothing for you to manage. With the Custom Website ($1,997 one-time), you own everything and host it yourself.

Do you work with my current software?

Tell us what you use on our prep call and we will tell you straight whether we can connect to it. Plenty of tools we can, some we cannot, and we would rather say so up front than promise something and walk it back later.

At minimum, all we need is a way to get your customer contacts into the system. That can be as simple as you sending us a list.

How often do you contact my customers?

One request, then two gentle reminders. If someone does not leave a review, we put them on a 30 day cooldown so your repeat customers never feel pestered.

We tune the cadence for your business. You do not have to manage any of it.

Can you remove my bad reviews?

No, and be careful with anyone who says they can. Filtering or gating reviews violates Google's policies and can get your profile permanently removed.

What we do instead is make sure every happy customer actually leaves a review, so the good ones outnumber and outweigh the bad ones.

I already have a website. Why would I switch?

Fair question. Two follow ups: when was it last updated, and how many calls did it bring you last month?

Most owners cannot answer the second one. That is the actual problem. A website nobody can measure is a website nobody is maintaining.

What is not included?

Not included: paid ad management and ad spend, full new pages or sections built after launch, custom development, e-commerce, booking system builds, membership portals, blog and article writing, and photography or video.

Your site content comes from you through the Project Hub. We shape it, format it, and make it work on the page, but the raw material is yours.

We do most of these. They are quoted separately so your monthly stays predictable.
