Brighter Websites Referral Partner Program FAQ's
1. Is this really free?
Thereâs 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.
Itâs 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 $35â$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 isnât it true that nothing free is actually good?
Youâre not wrong, most âfreeâ offers come with a catch.
This one doesnât, itâs 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 wonât get you more customers thatâs 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 youâre 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 3â4 weeks after launch. Your Facebook or Instagram might rank higher - thatâs expected.
If your business name is something common like Ballarat Plumbing, you wonât outrank established websites with a simple landing page.
Thatâs 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. Whatâs 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 âLink in Bioâ style landing page â 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 â we do it all for you
Website ownerâs manual â 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, youâll 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 websiteâs visibility and lead flow. Itâs 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 youâre 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). Hereâs 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.

Website from $4,800 + Search Engine Visibility (SEVO) Growth Program from $1,000 setup / $300 per week

2. Do you need access to my accounts or logins?
No. The review is based on publicly available data. If youâd like a deeper audit, weâll 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 donât perform as well as their owners think. Around 90% of pages get no organic traffic due to poor optimisation.

Youâll get a personalised action plan and video summary walking you through what we found plus a list of clear next steps.
