Website Design FAQs
Does Red Bearded Marketing build WordPress websites?
Yes. WordPress is one of the primary platforms we work with.
We can design new WordPress websites, redesign outdated websites, improve existing websites, troubleshoot WordPress problems, and provide ongoing website maintenance.
How much does a website cost?
Website pricing depends on the size and complexity of the project.
A simple business website is very different from a large e-commerce website, service website, membership website, or website requiring extensive SEO and custom functionality.
Before providing a price, we look at factors such as:
- Number of pages
- Design requirements
- Existing website condition
- Content requirements
- SEO requirements
- Photography and video needs
- Forms and integrations
- E-commerce functionality
- Custom development
- Ongoing maintenance
We can create a website package around your business rather than forcing every business into the same template.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes.
If you already have a website but it looks outdated, is difficult to navigate, loads slowly, or isn’t generating enough business, we can evaluate the existing site and determine whether it should be redesigned, rebuilt, or optimized.
Can you work on a website someone else built?
In many cases, yes.
We can work with existing WordPress websites and other platforms depending on how the site was built and what access is available.
We will evaluate the existing website before recommending whether it makes sense to improve it or rebuild it.
Will my website work on phones?
Yes.
Modern websites need to work properly across desktop computers, tablets, and mobile devices.
We design websites with responsive layouts so visitors can navigate the site regardless of the device they use.
Will you write the content for my website?
Yes.
Website content can be included as part of a marketing project depending on the scope of the work.
We can create service pages, location pages, blog articles, FAQs, calls to action, and other marketing content designed around your customers and search intent.
Can you take professional photos or videos for my business?
Yes.
Content creation can be incorporated into a marketing project.
Professional photography, video, interviews, testimonials, social media content, and business-focused video can give your website and social media accounts original content instead of relying entirely on stock photography.
SEO FAQs
What is SEO?
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization.
SEO is the process of improving your website and online presence so search engines can better understand your business and potentially show your pages when people search for relevant products and services.
SEO can include:
- Keyword research
- Website optimization
- Page titles
- Meta descriptions
- Content creation
- Internal linking
- Technical SEO
- Local SEO
- Google Business Profile optimization
- Location-based content
- Structured data
- Image optimization
- Website performance
Can Red Bearded Marketing help my business rank on Google?
Yes.
We provide SEO and local SEO services designed to improve your visibility in search engines.
However, nobody can legitimately guarantee a specific Google ranking or a specific position in search results. Google’s results are constantly changing and depend on many factors.
Our goal is to build a stronger overall search presence and increase the opportunities for potential customers to find your business.
How long does SEO take to work?
SEO is usually a long-term strategy rather than an overnight solution.
Some improvements can happen relatively quickly, while competitive keywords and new websites can take considerably longer.
Results depend on:
- Your competition
- Your industry
- Your location
- Your website’s current authority
- Your existing content
- Technical issues
- Search demand
- Your Google Business Profile
- Your backlink profile
- How consistently your website is optimized
Do you offer local SEO?
Yes.
Local SEO is particularly important for businesses that serve specific geographic areas.
We can optimize your online presence around communities and service areas relevant to your business.
Local SEO can include website optimization, location pages, Google Business Profile strategy, local content, citations, reviews, structured data, and other local search signals.
Can you help my Google Business Profile?
Yes.
Your Google Business Profile is an important part of local search marketing.
We can help businesses improve their profile strategy through:
- Business information optimization
- Service optimization
- Business descriptions
- Google posts
- Photo strategies
- Review strategies
- Local keyword targeting
- Website and profile consistency
Do you guarantee first-page Google rankings?
No reputable SEO company can guarantee a specific Google ranking.
Anyone promising that your business will automatically reach a particular position on Google should be approached carefully.
SEO is an ongoing process, and our focus is on creating a strong, sustainable foundation for search visibility.
Social Media Marketing FAQs
Does Red Bearded Marketing manage social media?
Yes.
We offer social media marketing and content creation for businesses that want a consistent presence across social platforms.
Depending on the package, services can include content planning, post creation, graphics, videos, captions, scheduling, and ongoing strategy.
How often should my business post on social media?
There is no single posting schedule that works for every business.
The ideal frequency depends on your audience, industry, platform, available content, and marketing goals.
Consistency is generally more important than simply posting as often as possible.
Can you create social media graphics?
Yes.
We can create branded graphics and marketing content designed around your business.
This can help create a more consistent visual identity across your social media channels.
Can you create videos for social media?
Yes.
Short-form video is an important part of modern digital marketing.
We can help businesses create video content for social media, websites, YouTube, advertisements, interviews, testimonials, and other marketing purposes.
Content Marketing FAQs
Why is content important for SEO?
Content helps search engines understand what your business does and what topics your website is relevant to.
Well-written content can also answer questions potential customers are asking before they contact a business.
Examples include:
- “How much does brake repair cost?”
- “How often should I change my oil?”
- “What does a check engine light mean?”
- “How long does a website take to build?”
- “How much does SEO cost?”
Answering these questions can help establish your business as a useful resource while creating additional opportunities to appear in search results.
Do you write blog posts?
Yes.
We can create SEO-focused blog articles, service pages, FAQs, location pages, educational content, and other website content.
Our goal is to create content that is useful to real people while also making it easier for search engines and AI-powered search systems to understand your business.
ADA & Website Accessibility FAQs
Do you provide ADA website accessibility solutions?
Yes.
We offer website accessibility solutions designed to help businesses improve the accessibility of their websites.
Accessibility is important because websites should be usable by as many people as reasonably possible.
Does an accessibility widget make my website legally compliant?
No website tool should be treated as an absolute guarantee of legal compliance.
Accessibility involves more than installing a widget or plugin.
Depending on the website, accessibility improvements can involve navigation, headings, images, forms, keyboard functionality, contrast, text alternatives, and other elements.
We can help businesses identify and address accessibility concerns, but businesses should consult qualified legal or accessibility professionals for specific legal advice.
WordPress Maintenance FAQs
Do you provide WordPress maintenance?
Yes.
We provide WordPress maintenance services for businesses that don’t want to worry about managing their website themselves.
Maintenance can include:
- WordPress updates
- Plugin updates
- Theme updates
- Security checks
- Website backups
- Troubleshooting
- Performance monitoring
- General website maintenance
Why should I keep WordPress plugins updated?
Outdated plugins can create compatibility, security, and functionality problems.
Keeping WordPress, themes, and plugins updated is an important part of maintaining a healthy website.
However, updates should be handled carefully because occasionally an update can conflict with another plugin or part of the website.
Can you fix my broken WordPress website?
Often, yes.
Depending on the problem, we can troubleshoot issues such as:
- Plugin conflicts
- Broken layouts
- Update errors
- Missing content
- Website errors
- Slow websites
- Forms not working
- Theme problems
- Database-related issues
The first step is determining what caused the problem.
Branding & Graphic Design FAQs
Do you design logos?
Yes.
We can help businesses create or improve their logo and overall visual identity.
Can you create YouTube thumbnails?
Yes.
We can create branded YouTube thumbnails designed to attract attention and communicate the topic of the video quickly.
Can you help with my overall branding?
Yes.
Branding can include much more than a logo.
We can help develop a consistent visual identity across your website, social media, videos, marketing materials, and other digital channels.
Podcast & Video Marketing FAQs
Does Red Bearded Marketing offer podcast production?
Yes.
We offer business-focused podcasting and talk-show services that can help companies create original marketing content.
Podcasting can also provide content that can be repurposed into:
- YouTube videos
- Short-form videos
- Social media posts
- Blog articles
- Website content
- Interviews
- Customer stories
Can you film interviews for my business?
Yes.
Business interviews can be an effective way to introduce customers to the people behind a company.
We can help with filming, production, and repurposing the content for additional marketing opportunities.
Why should my business create video content?
Video allows potential customers to see your business, hear your story, learn about your services, and become familiar with the people behind the company.
For local businesses especially, video can help make a company feel more recognizable and trustworthy before a customer ever walks through the door.
Working With Red Bearded Marketing
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?
It depends on the service and project.

A business doesn’t necessarily need a massive marketing budget to improve its online presence. The key is putting resources toward the areas most likely to produce results.
Why should I choose Red Bearded Marketing?
