FAQ'S

Brighter Websites Referral Partner Program FAQ's

Everything your clients,  and you might want to know before getting started.

1. Is this really free?

There’s no cost to you.
The service is funded by Brighter Websites for one year as part of our Local Partner Program. That means your domain, email, and landing page are fully paid for - not hidden inside a surprise package.

It’s our investment to help more regional businesses start online the right way - with no contracts, no credit cards on file, and no fine print. Just good old-fashioned service and support.

After the first year:

  • .com.au domain: renews for around $25/year

  • Email hosting: from $35–$60/year, depending on storage

  • Landing page: hosted free via Cloudflare Pages, so it stays active as long as your domain is renewed

2. But isn’t it true that nothing free is actually good?

You’re not wrong, most “free” offers come with a catch.
This one doesn’t, it’s just designed to be your first small step online.

Think of the landing page as your digital business card, a simple, professional place for people who already know about you to find your logo, description, contact details, and links in one spot..

It won’t get you more customers that’s what our Growth pathway upgrades are for.

If you want to "Get Started" - sign up for this offer
If you want "Good", start with our Launch Fast Website.
If you want "Great", look at our Growth and Scale Smarter programs.

This step just gets you visible, credible, and in control of your online footprint, so you’re ready for what comes next.

3. Will my site show up on Google?

Yes, but realistically, it starts small. People searching for your business name will usually find you within 3–4 weeks after launch. Your Facebook or Instagram might rank higher - that’s expected.

If your business name is something common like Ballarat Plumbing, you won’t outrank established websites with a simple landing page.

That’s where our Growth Websites and AI SEO & Visibility Plans come in, built to help you climb the ranks and be discovered beyond your brand name.

4. What’s actually included?

Everything you need to look professional and start right:

  • 1-year .com.au domain name

  • 12 months of business email hosting (500MB storage)

  • A simple “Link in Bio” style landing page — your digital calling card your logo, up to 3 images, 300 words of text and up to 8 links (like phone numbers, email, Facebook and google review links

  • Valet setup call — we do it all for you

  • Website owner’s manual — all your access details and instructions

No tech skills, no content writing required. Just a 15-30min onboarding call when we learn about your business and service and then a quick 10min call where we review the published site and changes are made in real time, so by the end of the call everything is done.
We can even source a few images for you or pull photos and your logo from your social media. Everything is set up in your name, and you own it from day one.

5. What if I Already have a domain or website?

No problem, you’ll still receive value through our Partner-Exclusive AI Strategy Kit.

This includes an AI SEO Readiness Review and a custom action plan to help improve your website’s visibility and lead flow. It’s the perfect next step for established businesses with a website - focused on getting you found, not just being online.

Can I upgrade or build a full website later?

Absolutely, anytime.

Your included landing page is a static page - fast, secure, and maintenance-free.
When you’re ready for a full website that you can update easily, optimise for search, and grow, we offer a full professional build on WordPress (not on top of the landing page). Here’s what that next step usually looks like:

01 Launch Fast - One Day Website

One Page Website from $800 or Three-Page Website from $1,500
A professionally designed, editable WordPress site perfect for getting online fast with strong foundations.
Ideal for showcasing your services, adding contact forms, and starting SEO-ready content. Both options can add more content, pages and are easy to update yourself.

02 Grow Visibility - Premium Performance Website

Up to 10 pages + SEO Blog, Content & Custom design from $4,800
Custom website with copywriting, blog articles and setup, advanced AI-optimised SEO content plan, and integrated email marketing.

03 Scale Smarter – Premium + Search Engine Visibility (SEVO) Growth Program

Website from $4,800 + Search Engine Visibility (SEVO) Growth Program from $1,000 setup / $300 per week
Designed for growth-ready businesses who want measurable results, not just a website. The Scale Smarter program combines a high-performance, conversion-optimised website with our SEVO system a 4-month campaign fine-tuning every element for traffic, trust, and sales. This is the same full-funnel growth model used on projects like Guerilla Steel, where strategic design, consistent publishing, and clear measurement turned visibility into enquiries, fast.

Each upgrade is a completely different class of site, interactive, upgradable, and built to perform. Monthly or upfront payment plans are available

1. What’s included in the AI Strategy Kit?

You’ll get a personalised AI SEO Video Review, a 3-Month AI Search Authority Roadmap, and tools like our Predictable Lead Flow Blueprint and Social Proof Kit, everything you need to strengthen your visibility and credibility online.

2. Do you need access to my accounts or logins?

No. The review is based on publicly available data. If you’d like a deeper audit, we’ll request temporary access to google search console, analytics and google business insights - but you stay in full control/ownership.

3. Is this really worth doing if I already have a website?

Yes. Most small business websites don’t perform as well as their owners think. Around 90% of pages get no organic traffic due to poor optimisation.
This review identifies quick wins and long-term fixes that you can likely fix yourself, so your site can actually be found by customers.

4. What happens after the review?

You’ll get a personalised action plan and video summary walking you through what we found plus a list of clear next steps.
You can take those actions yourself, work with your existing web provider, or engage us to implement them there’s no obligation and no pressure.
