How much does a website cost with AnswerLoop?
R600 once-off to design and build it, then R400 a month. The R600 includes the keyword research, the SEO setup, the schema and the setup that lets ChatGPT and other AI assistants read your site. The R400 a month keeps it hosted, covers your domain, management, support and ongoing SEO (keyword research and technical SEO), and includes up to four small updates a month. Agencies commonly charge up to R8,000 up front; we keep the build cheap because we earn on the monthly, which only keeps coming if the site stays worth keeping. There is no contract and no lock-in.
Is SEO included, or do I pay extra for it?
Included in the R600. Before we write your pages we research what people in your area type into Google for what you do, and use those words in your titles and headings. Every site gets its own page per service, a sitemap, schema and the setup for AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot. Nobody can promise a position on Google or in ChatGPT, and we do not, but the groundwork is done properly from day one.
How long does it take to build my website?
Most websites go live within 7 days of receiving your brief, photos, and content. Larger sites with more pages may take a day or two longer. We'll give you a clear timeline before we start.
What happens if I cancel?
You tell us and we stop the monthly. There is no notice period, no penalty and no exit fee. Because the R400 covers hosting, your domain and updates, the site comes off our hosting when the payments stop and it will no longer load. We would rather say that upfront than have it come as a surprise. If you want to move the site elsewhere, talk to us and we will sort it out with you.
Do I need to provide my own content and photos?
We'll ask you a few questions about your business, and we handle the copywriting from there. If you have photos, great — send them through. If not, we use high-quality stock images that fit your industry while you arrange professional photos.
Can I update my website myself?
We do them for you — send us a WhatsApp with what you want changed. Up to four small updates a month are included in the R400: a new photo, a few lines of text, a price or a colour. Bigger changes, like a new page or a redesign, are charged once-off, even if you ask straight after launch.
What industries do you work with?
Any SA business that relies on local customers — plumbers, doctors, dentists, lawyers, real estate agents, physios, gyms, restaurants, trades, retail, and more. If customers Google for what you do, you need this.
