Every question, answered.
Everything you need to know about Skylift's done-for-you website service, pricing, process, local SEO, and paid ads.
The whole site: design, build, hosting, copywriting, ongoing edits, and Google review automation. No setup fee, no contract.
Domain registration (you keep yours, or buy one for about $15 a year) and ad spend if you run paid ads. Everything web — design, build, hosting, edits, copywriting — is included.
No setup fee. No rush fee. No extra-revision fee. $499 is the full monthly bill.
No. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime by email.
Yes. Pay 12 months upfront and the 12th month is free — $5,489 instead of $5,988.
Cancel anytime by email. You keep your copy, photos, and domain. The hosted build comes down at the end of your paid month. Skylift hands off a static export if you want to take the look-and-feel elsewhere.
Included. A complete rebuild costs the same $499 a month. Skylift does not charge extra for the same client looking different.
Websites that never get updated die within 18 months. The subscription keeps your site fast, current, and ranking — without surprise invoices.
Homepage plus up to 5 inner pages — About, Services, Contact, and two more of your choice. Need more? We quote it flat.
Yes. Copywriting is included. We send drafts in week 2, you mark them up, we ship.
Every site is mobile-first. We design for phones first, then scale up to desktop. No extra charge.
No. Every site is custom-designed against a real brief: your customers, your industry, your competitors. No bootstrap themes.
Yes. We set up a CMS and train you on it. Or just email us and we handle edits — included in your monthly fee.
Same plan, same price. We migrate your content, redesign on a staging URL, and flip DNS when you approve.
You don't build it. You don't update it. You don't troubleshoot it. Skylift handles the parts most small business owners get stuck on.
Brief, design (homepage plus up to 5 inner pages), copywriting, mobile and desktop layouts, hosting setup, contact forms, on-page SEO basics, and launch.
Skylift integrates third-party tools like Calendly, Acuity, Square, and Stripe Checkout. Custom commerce platforms are out of scope. If you need a real store, Skylift will refer you out honestly.
Yes. Mailchimp, Klaviyo, ConvertKit, HubSpot, Calendly — these connect quickly. Custom integrations are quoted separately.
We rebuild it on the same plan. A full redesign costs the same $499 a month, so Skylift is motivated to make the first version work.
Most sites launch in 2-4 weeks. You see progress every Friday via Loom demos and a staging link.
About 30 minutes. Skylift asks about your business, your goals, and what's not working today. You ask whatever you want. Skylift tells you honestly if this is the right fit.
A brief about your business, your top 3 competitors, any existing brand assets (logo, photos, copy), and access to your domain registrar. Skylift sends a checklist after the discovery call.
Week 1: brief, content strategy, wireframes. Week 2: design first pass and copy drafts. Week 3: revisions and build. Week 4: QA, mobile testing, launch.
About 2 hours total over 3 weeks: discovery call, one round of feedback on copy, one round on design. Skylift does the rest.
Skylift pauses the clock, not the relationship. The build resumes when you're ready. No penalty for life happening.
Your $499 a month subscription starts on launch day. Ongoing edits, hosting, Google review automation, and any future redesigns are all included.
No. If Skylift isn't the right fit, you'll hear that on the call. Skylift would rather lose the deal than oversell.
Nothing. Show up with your business and your questions. If you have a current site, share the URL when you book.
That's expected. Most clients take 2-4 weeks from first call to first invoice. No aggressive follow-up.
Local SEO puts your business in front of people searching for what you do, in your area. When someone Googles 'plumber near me' or 'Tampa roofer,' local SEO is what decides whether you show up or your competitor does.
Yes. We optimize your GBP from day one — categories, description, photos, posts, Q&A — and keep it updated monthly. You don't have to touch it.
After every job, we send your customer a short email asking for a Google review. No SMS, no apps to install, no compliance headaches. It runs on autopilot.
Most clients see measurable movement in local rankings within 60-90 days. Review velocity usually picks up within the first month.
Yes. GBP optimization, on-page SEO, review automation, and monthly reporting are all bundled into your $499/mo subscription. No add-ons.
A website helps — a lot. GBP links back to your site, and on-page SEO only works if there are pages to optimize. If you don't have a site yet, we build one as part of the same $499/mo plan.
On-page basics: titles, meta descriptions, schema, sitemap, Google Business Profile linking, local SEO setup. Ongoing keyword work and content writing are separate retainers.
Meta (Facebook + Instagram) and Google (Search + Display). We recommend based on your industry and budget, not on what's easiest for us.
Most Tampa SMBs see results starting at $1,000-$2,000/mo in ad spend. We'll recommend a budget on the discovery call based on your goals and market.
Yes. Copy, images, and video hooks are all included. We test multiple angles every month and kill what doesn't work.
Weekly Slack or email updates with spend, leads, and cost-per-lead. Monthly deep-dive report with creative performance and next steps.
No. Month to month. If the ads aren't working after 90 days of honest testing, you can pause or cancel. We keep you because of results, not fine print.
You can, but conversion rates suffer. A landing page built for your offer converts 2-3x better than sending traffic to a generic site. We can build one as part of your plan.
Nic Velasco runs every account directly. A small, vetted team of contractors handles design and development. You won't talk to a project manager you've never met.
Tampa, FL. Florida-focused.
Tampa is the focus, but Skylift works with small businesses across Florida — St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Brandon, Sarasota, Orlando.
Local service businesses doing $200K to $1.5M a year — dentists, lawyers, contractors, gyms, restaurants, salons, real estate agents. If you have real customers and a real offer, Skylift can probably help.
Google review automation is bundled. Paid ads on Meta and Google are available add-ons. Skylift does not do social media management.
Yes. After the discovery call, Skylift can connect you with a current client in a similar industry — with their permission.
No. Skylift is independent, Tampa-based, and Florida-focused. Not a satellite office of anyone.
