Question 1

What is included in a website maintenance plan?

Accepted Answer

A Snowden Design website maintenance plan covers managed hosting, SSL, domain and email DNS, uptime and broken-link monitoring, monthly backups, content edits and a monthly Google Analytics 4 report. Higher plans add SEO and GEO, Google Business Profile management, new articles, AI-assisted social media, Google Ads and customer email follow-up.

Question 2

How much does a website maintenance plan cost?

Accepted Answer

Basecamp is [$ ] per month, Ascent is [$ ] per month and Summit is [$ ] per month plus ad spend, which is paid directly to Google and Meta. Every plan includes managed hosting and a monthly GA4 report, and one-time projects such as 3D rendering are quoted separately.

Question 3

What is GEO and how is it different from SEO?

Accepted Answer

Search engine optimization (SEO) helps your pages rank in Google's search results. Generative engine optimization (GEO) helps AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude understand your business, trust it and cite it in their answers. Both rely on fast pages, clear structured data and content that answers real questions.

Question 4

How do I get my business mentioned by ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews?

Accepted Answer

Make your business easy to identify and quote: structured data that names your business, services and service area; clear answers to the questions customers ask; the same name, phone and address everywhere online; reviews and mentions on trusted sites; and a robots.txt file that lets AI crawlers read your site.

Question 5

What should a monthly website analytics report include?

Accepted Answer

A useful monthly report compares users, sessions, engagement rate and leads with last month, breaks traffic down by channel with AI assistant referrals shown on their own, lists top pages and Google search queries, counts leads by source, and ends with a plain-language summary of what changed and what comes next.

Question 6

Do I need Google Ads if I have good SEO?

Accepted Answer

Not always. SEO builds traffic that compounds over months, while Google Ads buys visibility today for searches you don't rank for yet, seasonal offers or new services. Many businesses run both: ads for fast leads and testing, SEO for a lower cost per lead over time.

Question 7

Does AI write my social media posts?

Accepted Answer

AI helps research topics, draft options and pick posting times. A person at Snowden Design edits and approves every post before it goes live, so everything that carries your name sounds like you.

Question 8

Can I change plans later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most clients start on the plan that fits their launch and move up as the site grows. Plans can be changed at the next billing cycle.

Question 9

Do you offer 3D modeling and rendering?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Snowden Design creates 3D product, architectural and environment models, photoreal renderings and turntable animations as add-on projects that can be used on your website, in ads and on social media. See an example of 3D architectural visualization.
