It depends on your market and topic. If you are in the tech industry and you post articles on very technical things then comments are useful for questions the reader might have. For the average small business owner the comments bring no value to the topic. I personally have them turned off so I dont have to deal with spam comments.

YES! Reviews are just as important as a website. I know some contractors that do not have websites, yet get plenty of calls from searches. People find the reviews they have, look at the phone number from the review site and call directly. I know of one that gets more calls then he can handle and often refers the extra work to other contractors. Business owners that are not actively collecting reviews are hurting their own business.

That is a great question! I was just talking with a business owner that used a free website creation tool to build his website. He was calling me because the website is not performing well in the search engines. His site is not found within the first 3 pages (stopped looking after 3). Although a website creation tool is easy is use, it does not help you with getting a website that performs well. It wont tell you to use heading, subheadings, or how to format your content so that your keywords are actually working for you. These tools won't tell you what colors look good together, what format your logo needs to be in, what images to use, how to use video, how to add a scheduling tool, how to create a complex form, or any other technical question you might have. Your website will look and perform better if you hire a professional.

The quick answer is yes - you can create a 1 page website. However it will be very difficult to get that site ranked well for your search terms. Every main search term that you want to get ranked well for needs its own page that is all about that topic.

Yes - I create most of my small business websites using WordPress. This gives the business owner access to a dashboard where they can make basic changes and edits to their own website. No need to hire a professional to change your hours, address, phone, add or delete team members, add pages, make blog posts, or any other text changes. I do offer a 1 hour training to everyone who purchases a website package from my company.

Yes I can. Having a responsive website (1 website for mobile and the same website for desktop) is good to have. Responsive websites detect what type of device is accessing the website and displays the content in the best way for the device. You will have just 1 website - which is good for the new mobile first indexing. Feel free to contact me and we can talk specifics about what you are needing.

That is a great questions - and usually the time frame is set by you, the business owner. In a perfect world where all the images, text, and any other content is finished before the website gets started - from start to finish could be as little as a few weeks. We all know that the world is not perfect - an average time is a month or two. Many times websites take several months because the business owner does not have all the website assets ready.
