GUIDE

What makes a website truly affordable — without cutting corners?

An affordable small business website doesn't just mean a low price tag. It means predictable costs, real business results, and the ability to update your site without calling a developer. For most local trades and service businesses, affordability includes fast delivery, strong local SEO, secure hosting, and unlimited content updates.

At Congero we deliver all of that for a flat $49/month — domain, hosting, SSL, local SEO and unlimited updates — so what looks cheap is actually high value.

SEO TIPS

Make your affordable site earn attention — local SEO checklist

A low-cost site can still out-rank bigger competitors when it follows local SEO fundamentals.

Optimised meta

Use a clear headline with your primary service + suburb (e.g., "Plumber in South Brisbane"). Keep meta titles ~50–60 chars and descriptions ~120–155 chars.

NAP consistency

Ensure your business Name, Address and Phone match across your website, Google Business Profile and directories to improve local rankings.

Mobile-first & speed

Most local searches happen on phones. Use compressed images and fast hosting. Congero optimises both automatically.

Internal linking

Link service pages to relevant blog posts or FAQ entries to keep visitors engaged and reduce bounce rate.

Review signals

Collect and display customer reviews. Positive reviews on Google Business help you rank and convert visitors into customers.

Structured data

Schema for LocalBusiness, services and FAQs increases the chance of rich snippets. Our platform adds schema automatically.

Simple pricing that stays affordable

One predictable plan for small businesses: everything you need to get found, taken seriously and start getting leads.

TROUBLESHOOT

Common mistakes with "cheap" websites — and how to fix them

Avoid traps that make a low-cost website ineffective.

1. Using generic stock photos

Stock images that don't show your work reduce trust and conversions.

Fix: Send your own photos via WhatsApp — we replace them in minutes.

2. No clear service pages

A single homepage won't rank for multiple services or suburbs.

Fix: Create separate service pages (e.g., "Drain Cleaning in ") — our AI does this automatically on request.

3. Slow load times

Slow pages kill rankings and phone conversions.

Fix: Use compressed images, lightweight scripts and fast hosting — all included with Congero.
