Question 1

How much does a website cost?

Accepted Answer

LocalCred has three monthly plans plus an enterprise tier. Launch is $149/mo — custom website, local SEO, hosting, and LocalCred Network listing. Accelerate is $297/mo and adds CMS, blog, and Google Business integration. Dominate is $449/mo with lead routing, email automation, and service area pages. Apex (enterprise) is $749/mo for payments, customer portal, and bi-weekly strategy. Choose annual billing and we waive the setup fee entirely.

Question 2

Are there any build fees or setup costs?

Accepted Answer

There's a one-time setup fee that covers the launch work: design session, content build, domain configuration, SSL, launch QA, and SEO baseline. Setup fees range from $349–$999 depending on plan. Choose annual billing and we waive the setup fee entirely — same launch quality, no upfront charge.

Question 3

How long does it take to launch?

Accepted Answer

Launch sites typically go live within 7 business days. Accelerate and Dominate sites take 1–2 weeks depending on complexity and content readiness. We'll give you a realistic timeline before we start.

Question 4

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in local service businesses across the Denver Metro and Colorado Front Range - HVAC companies, plumbers, electricians, roofers, landscapers, painters, dentists, chiropractors, restaurants, gyms, auto shops, and similar businesses that serve their local community.

Question 5

What if I want to cancel?

Accepted Answer

Monthly plans are flexible - cancel by emailing us or through the client portal. Your site stays live through the end of your current billing period. We'll provide an Exit Kit to export your content. Your domain is always yours.

Question 6

What happens to my content and data if I cancel?

Accepted Answer

You own your domain, content, uploaded media, leads, and business data. LocalCred owns the underlying platform code - that's how we keep costs low and deliver continuous improvements. On cancellation, your site goes offline but we'll export all your content and hand it over. Nothing you created is held hostage.

Question 7

What is the LocalCred Network?

Accepted Answer

Every LocalCred plan includes a listing in the LocalCred Network - a discovery surface for nearby consumers searching for local services. Your business gets found on your own site AND through LocalCred's directory (e.g., localcred.co/aurora/plumbers). It's SEO-indexed and live immediately. This is included in every plan at no extra charge.

Question 8

How does the 30-day guarantee work?

Accepted Answer

If you're not satisfied within the first 30 days, we refund everything - your setup fee and your first month's payment. Both. No forms, no runaround. Just email us and it's processed within 3 business days.

Question 9

I already have a website. Can you help?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your current site is outdated, slow, or not bringing in leads, we can rebuild it on a modern stack. We'll review what you have and recommend whether a rebuild or targeted improvements make more sense for your business.

Question 10

I don't know what I need. Can you help me figure it out?

Accepted Answer

That's exactly what the free consultation is for. We'll ask about your business, your customers, and your goals, then recommend the right plan. No technical knowledge required on your end.

Question 11

What's included in maintenance?

Accepted Answer

All plans include hosting on Cloudflare Pages, SSL, performance monitoring, security updates, and a set number of content updates each month (1 for Launch, 3 for Accelerate, up to 8 for Dominate).

Question 12

Can I edit my own content?

Accepted Answer

On Accelerate and above, your site includes Sanity CMS where you can update text, images, and blog posts without touching code. Launch sites are updated by our team based on your monthly requests.

Question 13

What technology do you use?

Accepted Answer

We build with Next.js (React), TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. Sites are hosted on Cloudflare Pages for fast, reliable delivery. This modern stack delivers better performance, security, and SEO than traditional WordPress sites.

Question 14

How is this different from Wix or Squarespace?

Accepted Answer

Template builders are convenient but come with trade-offs: you're stuck on their platform, performance is often poor, SEO control is limited, and you're locked into their platform. Our sites are custom-built with production-grade code built for your business.

Question 15

Do you work with businesses outside Denver?

Accepted Answer

Our primary focus is the Denver Metro area and Colorado Front Range because local expertise matters - we understand the market, the competition, and what works here. We're open to remote projects if there's a good fit.

Question 16

What do you need from me to get started?

Accepted Answer

Your logo (if you have one), any content or photos you'd like to include, access to your domain registrar, and a 30-minute kickoff call to understand your business and goals. We handle the rest.
