COMMON QUESTIONS

Scope before software.

Is the website scope planner free?

Yes. It runs in your browser, requires no email and does not submit your selections.

How many pages does a small-business website need?

Enough to answer genuinely different customer needs. One focused page may work for a simple offer, while several services, locations, proof requirements or integrations usually need a planned multi-page structure.

Should every city have its own page?

No. Create a location page only when the business genuinely serves that area and can provide distinct useful information. Cloned city pages are not a substitute for local relevance.
