TUTORIAL

How to build a business website — 6 practical steps

Follow these steps to go from idea to a live, optimised website that drives enquiries.

Step 1 — Define goals

Decide what success looks like: phone calls, bookings, quotes or foot traffic. Pick 1–2 primary conversion actions.

Step 2 — Gather basics

Business name, phone, address, services, 3–6 photos of your work and preferred colours. Don’t worry if you’re missing items — Congero works with basics and refines later.

Step 3 — Request demo

Text “GO” to Congero’s WhatsApp bot or click the demo link. The AI asks a few quick questions and generates a site preview in under 60 seconds.

Step 4 — Review & refine

Check content, photos and CTAs. Text any edits and our team applies them within minutes — unlimited edits at no extra cost.

Step 5 — Connect domain & local SEO

CHECKLIST

Quick Launch Checklist

Use this checklist while building your site to ensure nothing is missed.

  • Business name & tagline — clear and keyword-friendly.
  • Primary services — 3–6 service pages or sections with brief descriptions.
  • Contact details — phone, email, service area and opening hours (consistent with Google Business Profile).
  • 3+ photos of work or team — authentic images outperform stock photos.
  • Calls to action — clear buttons like "Get a Quote", "Call Now" or "Book Online".
  • Privacy & compliance — privacy policy and any industry disclaimers (if required).

Pro tip: If you don’t have all assets, start with the basics. Congero’s AI fills gaps and you can upload photos or change copy later via text.

SEO

SEO checklist to make your site work for your business

These practical SEO steps are automatically handled by Congero, but it's useful to understand how they drive traffic.

Local keyword targeting

Use service + location combos (e.g., plumber Sydney south) in page titles, headings and meta descriptions.

Fast page speed

Optimised images and modern hosting ensure fast load times — a top-ranking factor for local searches and mobile users.

Structured data

LocalBusiness schema and service schema help Google display rich results and increase trust with customers.

Consistent NAP

Ensure your Name, Address and Phone are identical across your website, Google Business Profile and directories.

Optimised images

Add descriptive ALT text and compress images to maintain speed without sacrificing quality.

Clear calls to action

Make it obvious how customers contact you — phone number in header, click-to-call on mobile and an enquiry button on every page.

SEO done for you — automatically

Congero's AI implements meta tags, schema and on-page signals from day one so your site starts ranking quickly.

Common problems when you build a business website (and quick fixes)

Practical fixes you can request via text — Congero applies them fast.

Slow page load

Large images or third-party widgets can slow pages. Fix by compressing images, lazy-loading media and limiting plugins.

Action: Text us “Speed audit” and we’ll optimise your site.

Generic content or images

Stock photos don't build trust. Replace with real work photos and add short descriptions of each job.

Action: Send photos via WhatsApp to update images.

No local enquiries

Check that your NAP is consistent, target city-specific keywords and enable Google Business Profile link on your site.

Action: Ask us to audit local SEO and we’ll add missing schema and meta tags.
