Straight answers to what owners ask us.

Two weeks from signed contract to live site. We lock the scope before we start, so the date holds as long as we get your logo, photos and logins on time. Need it sooner? Ask on the call.

We hand-code every site. No WordPress, no page builders, no themes. That is why they load fast, and fast pages do better on Google.

We host it and keep it maintained, so it stays fast and secure. You get a login to change your own text and photos, or email us the change and we'll make it. If you're running SEO or ads with us, you get a report every month and we keep adjusting based on what the numbers show.

One free website or Shopify store build a month for an independently owned US business, picked by Jack and Tristen from the applications, never a drawing. Applying is free and takes about four minutes, no call or purchase required, and every other applicant gets $300 off a build for seven days. The details and the official rules are on the Website Grant page. See the Website Grant

Anyone promising page one in 30 days is guessing. We fix the technical side first: site structure, speed, schema and a keyword plan built from what your customers actually type into Google. Rankings build on that over months, not days.

Month one is groundwork. In month two Google crawls and weighs the changes. By month three there's real ranking data to judge us on. That's why the first term is three months. After that it's month to month.

SEO is about ranking when people search for what you do. Local SEO is about the map pack and searches with a place in them, like "plumber near me" or "auto glass Carlsbad." Most local businesses need both: SEO as the foundation, Local SEO for the searches that turn into calls. We'll tell you the right mix for your market on the call.

Google Ads can bring calls within days of launch. Meta usually needs one to two weeks before results settle. Ads stop when the spend stops, so we often pair them with SEO, which keeps working after you stop paying.

Yes. We build the campaigns, write the ads, set the targeting and manage them every month. You pay a flat monthly management fee, not a percentage of your ad spend, so we don't make more when you spend more. There's no minimum spend, but if your budget's too small to learn anything from, we'll tell you on the call.

We plan the month, write and schedule the posts and answer comments. You approve the calendar before anything goes live. And we only put you on the platforms your customers actually use.

Both. We build CRMs in GoHighLevel for businesses whose leads need a faster reply than a shared inbox gives them. Texts and emails go out the moment someone reaches out, the pipeline matches how you actually sell, and we manage it after launch. It's a one-time build fee, then a flat monthly fee to run it.

No. Web, ads, social and CRM are month to month with 30 days' notice. SEO and Local SEO start with a 3-month term, then go month to month. Your domain, accounts and data are in your name either way.

Yes. Your domain, Google profile, accounts and data are in your name from day one. The site's code and design are yours once the build is paid for. If we ever part ways, you keep all of it.

The three of us who run Diakon. No account managers, no offshore team. The person on your kickoff call is the person doing the work, and we're all in the US.

A big agency puts you in a queue and runs your work through people you never meet. A freelancer goes quiet when they get busy. We're three people who do the work ourselves, and you talk straight to whoever's doing it.
