Why diagnose before redesigning?

A new website is not always the answer.

A website can underperform because of one or two high-impact problems—not because everything needs to be rebuilt. The right first move is to separate symptoms from causes.

Questions before you start

Know exactly what you are buying.

Is the $99 diagnosis an automated website audit?

No. It is a focused human review informed by professional WordPress, SEO, content and conversion experience. Tools may support the work, but your findings and priorities are selected and explained by a person.

Will you make changes during the $99 diagnosis?

No. The diagnosis defines what appears wrong, why it matters and what should be fixed first. Implementation is quoted separately so you can decide what to approve.

Can the $99 fee be credited toward Level 2?

Yes. If you upgrade within 14 days, the $99 diagnosis fee can be applied to the $399 Growth and Competitive Roadmap.

What websites qualify for the $99 price?

The fixed price is designed for standard small-business websites. Ecommerce, membership, multisite, heavily customized or very large websites require a scope review before acceptance.

Do you guarantee rankings, traffic or leads?

No. Ethical website and SEO work cannot guarantee those outcomes. The work improves technical health, relevance, clarity, usability and conversion opportunities.
