Common Questions
What You Want to Know About Our Website Services
  • What is included in a website build from Thrive Local?

    Each website we build is professional and mobile-responsive, meaning it works correctly on phones, tablets, and desktop computers. We include foundational SEO setup to help search engines understand your website and its local relevance. The design process focuses on your specific business goals, your service area, and the customers you want to attract. We also coordinate the site with your broader marketing presence, including listings, social profiles, and any print campaigns, so everything works together rather than in isolation.
  • Do you build websites for brand-new businesses or only established ones?

    We work with both. If you are launching a new business in West Michigan and need a professional online presence from day one, we can build that for you. If you have an existing site that no longer reflects where your business is today, we handle refreshes as well. Our process starts the same way regardless: we get to know your goals, your customers, and your service area before we build anything, so the final product fits your business rather than a generic mold.
  • How many photos are needed for a website build, and do you provide them?

    For a complete website build, we recommend between 60 and 100 localized, high-quality photos. This level of original imagery helps your site feel authentic to your community and avoids the generic look of stock photography, which can reduce trust with local visitors. We encourage clients to gather photos specific to their business, team, and service area. Localized imagery can also help customers recognize your business and connect with your West Michigan service area.
  • Who owns the website and domain after it is built?

    You maintain ownership of your domain name. We provide professional website development, hosting, and managed support. Maintaining your domain registration gives you direct control over that important business asset.
  • Will my new website help my business show up on Google?

    That is one of the primary goals. Every site we build is structured with on-page SEO in mind, including proper heading hierarchy, localized content, and technical foundations that search engines can read clearly. We focus on the specific cities and townships you serve across West Michigan, incorporating relevant local information as part of foundational SEO. That said, a website is one part of a broader visibility strategy. Pairing it with accurate online listings and consistent content gives you the strongest possible foundation for being found.
  • How much does a website from Thrive Local cost?

    Our custom marketing solutions start at $300 a month, which is designed to give small and growing businesses access to professional-level services without the overhead of a large agency. Specific pricing for website design and development depends on the scope of your project, including the size of the site, the complexity of the design, and the content needed. The best way to get an accurate picture of cost is to schedule a free consultation, where we can talk through your goals and put together a plan that fits your budget and your business.
  • Do you serve businesses outside of Holland and Grand Haven?

    Yes. We work with businesses throughout Ottawa, Kent, and Muskegon Counties. That includes Grand Rapids, Rockford, Forest Hills, Caledonia, Ada Township, Hudsonville, Zeeland, Norton Shores, Muskegon, and West Olive, among others. Our hyperlocal focus means we understand the communities you serve, not just the general West Michigan region. That local knowledge informs how we build and position your site so it resonates with the specific customers in your area.
