A website for local businesses: what it should have and what it costs
In short
A local business website has three jobs: to be found in local searches, to show the essentials in seconds on a phone and to turn the visit into a request, whether a call, a message or a booking. Our plans start at 35 € per month, with no upfront cost.
What should a local business website have?
- Clear services and prices, so customers do not have to ask.
- Opening hours, address and map, with one button to call and another for WhatsApp.
- Real photos of the place and the work.
- A way to ask: a booking, a reservation, an order or a form.
- A link to the Google Business Profile, where many customers find you first.
How do you show up in local searches?
In searches for a service in a town, what counts is the Google Business Profile, the same name, address and phone everywhere and copy that clearly says what you do and where.
A fast, well-structured website helps Google, and AI assistants too, to understand the business and recommend it.
Why does speed matter?
Many visits come from phones, in a hurry: someone looking for a restaurant wants the menu and the phone number, not an animation. A static website, with no plugins, opens quickly and has fewer points of failure.
How much does a website for a local business cost?
On our plans, the website is paid monthly with no upfront cost: you only start paying once you approve the website. Essencial costs 35 € per month, Profissional 59 € per month and Negócio from 99 € per month, with online bookings, reservations or orders.
What should you check before signing up?
- Whose name the domain is registered in.
- Who writes the copy and who approves it.
- Whether you can change prices, opening hours and photos yourself.
- Whether the website has the link to the electronic complaints book (Livro de Reclamações) and a privacy policy, which are mandatory in Portugal.
