Frequently Asked Questions

How can a small business improve local SEO in Houston?2026-09-25T07:43:52-05:00

A primary way a small business can improve its local SEO is to enhance the business’ Google Business Profile. That’s often what prospects see when searching for a local company. This includes your company name, address, phone # and website. You should add photos of your business (inside & out), review customer reviews and answer any questions. Mention involvement in local groups like a Chambers of Commerce.

Why is my small business website not generating leads?2026-09-25T07:43:18-05:00

Your small business website may not be generating leads for a wide variety of reasons. Is it using the latest best practices with calls-to-action (CTAs) that lead to forms? Is it optimized for search and AI? Does the site offer a good user interface so visitors have a positive web experience? We recommend looking at your Google Analytics to see what traffic is coming to your website, where people are looking, how long they’re on pages and what action they’re taking from there. Then we can map out a plan to bolster your website’s lead generation.

Do I own my website after it is completed?2026-09-25T07:42:48-05:00

If you work with Tell Your Tale Marketing to create a website, you will 100% own your website. We are paid for the design, writing, SEO and launch. When the website is completed and launched, you retain full ownership of the website. VP Trent Salch says, “Otherwise, it’s like buying a new car but not getting access to the keys.”

Can you help improve my search rankings?2026-09-25T07:42:08-05:00

Absolutely. We start with looking at how your website is currently performing and set that as a baseline. Then we identify under-performing pages and opportunities to update web content, metadata and AI-search aspects. There are also several strategies to boost visibility with local search techniques that have proven successful in improving search rank.

Will my website work on mobile devices?2026-09-25T07:41:38-05:00

Yes, we only develop websites that work seamlessly on mobile devices. It’s estimated that 50%-60% of website visits are made on mobile devices, so this should be considered from the onset.

How long does website development take?2026-09-25T07:41:01-05:00

Most of the websites that we develop can be designed and launched in about a month, depending on the client’s ability to review the writing and design.

How much does a professional website cost?2026-09-25T07:40:32-05:00

The cost of building a professional website varies based on functionality and complexity. We’ve helped organizations worldwide with dynamic websites that help generate business. Our websites typically start at $4,000 and go up based on the functionality needed (payment processing, online database integration, etc.) Another important budgeting aspect to consider is ongoing maintenance. You want to add fresh content to give prospects a reason to return to your site and plugins, themes and other back-end tools need to be updated regularly.

Is SEO still worth it for local businesses?2026-09-25T07:39:59-05:00

Yes, we highly recommend search engine optimization (SEO) but the best practices have evolved. You no longer just focus on keywords and generating a lot of traffic but now organizations need to also take into account AI-generated traffic. See “Is SEO dead?” and “AI Website FAQs are Changing Marketing” for more info.
