New Business Web Presence Quick-Start Package - $999
Is your business just starting up, or perhaps just starting to get online? This package will help you cover all of the fundamentals for a solid start to your online presence!
Included in this package:
One-Page Website
A home page for your business info
This is a clean, super simple, one-page website that includes all of your pertinent business information… Business name, logo (if you have one), brief intro about what your business does and your business contact information. Just the important info and none of the big-site price. (But all of the ability to expand on your site later!)
Domain Name
YourSite.com
You’ll need this for a real, legit place on the web for your site to call home. We can register one for you as part of your site setup, or you can use one that you already own.
(Choose any registrable .com, .org, .net, .biz, .us – Prefer another? Let’s discuss!)
Web Hosting
A place for your website to live
One year of RWS Microsite Hosting is provided in this package! We handle all of your site core file maintenance, security, and backups, so you’re site is hosted worry free!
Business Email
Email address @ your domain
Displaying your email address @ your domain adds a level of legitimacy to your business cards, marketing materials, and online listings. Not to mention, our email hosting is on a dedicated email server, so your email will be delivered and received more reliably than those provided by many web hosts. You’ll get one email address for one year, with 5Gb of storage, webmail, and SMPT, IMAP or POP3 access without device limits.
Google Business Profile
Setup and Optimization
A Google Business Profile is mission critical for any business that serves a local area these days. Having a “GBP” means that your business will be featured in the Google search results for businesses and maps for related terms in your local search area. In this package we will set up or claim your GBP and optimize it for you.Business Listings
Submission to Aggregators
Save hours of your precious time by having us submit your Google Business Profile data to the big 5 business listing databases. Once your business information is accepted in those main listings, hundreds of business listing services and apps will check in over the course of a few months and pick up your new business information to serve to their visitors.How these elements work together to build solid fundamentals:
Any business that is just starting out benefits from having a business website and reliable, domain-based email address in the following ways. When you have a website associated with your online search listings and printed on your marketing materials, that gives your business more legitimacy to your potential customers. Customers often feel more confident in contacting a business if that business has a website and business email address listed, as opposed to not listing any, or simply listing a social media site and personal email (for example one at Google or Yahoo). Online directories and search engines often prioritize these listings over others, as well. To earn the most legitimacy, your website should be at its own domain name, and contain enough information to clearly identify the business, what your business does, how to contact you, and present some basic branding to help identify your business across platforms. Our simplified one-page business website will be enough to provide legitimacy to your online presence, while keeping your costs low, and still allowing you all of the options for site expansion in the future!
Once you have a website and email address, then a Google Business Profile is the logical next step for any business that serves a local area. This features your business in the Google search results for businesses and maps for related terms in your local search area. Google Business Profile listings in search and on maps are often seen and clicked by searchers before organic website search listings. There are a number of things that can be done to your listing to help make it more useful for visitors, and more likely to be shown higher on search results – that is the optimization piece.
Once you have a completely filled out, verified and active Google Business Profile, then you have the perfect launching point for setting up listings in a variety of other online business directories. This is where the Business Directory Aggregator Submissions come in. You could spend the hours and hours of time going around to all of the business directory listings and adding your business yourself, or you can save your precious time by having us submit your Google Business Profile data to the big 5 business listing databases (Aggregators) – once your business information is accepted in those main listings, hundreds of business listing services and apps will check in over the course of a few months and pick up your business information to serve to their visitors.
Notes about renewing your plan next year...
We like to be straight up with everyone from the start so that there are no surprises.

Your annual estimated costs will be $120* for RWS Microsite Hosting, $24* for your business email address, and $15-$30 for your domain registration (varies by domain name). Google Business Profile setup and data aggregator services do not renew.
