Website FAQs
How fast is delivery really?
Starter and Pro sites are delivered within 48–72 hours from the moment we have your content and branding. Custom builds with e-commerce or complex integrations take 5–7 days. We've never missed a deadline.
What do I need to provide?
Your business name, what you do, logo (or we use text), brand colours if you have them, and your domain. We write the copy, design the layout, and handle all the technical setup.
How does hosting work after delivery?
Sites are hosted on Vercel. Most small business sites run on the free tier indefinitely. If traffic grows beyond that, Vercel Pro costs $20/month. We let you know before you need to upgrade.
Will my website rank on Google?
Every site includes proper meta titles and descriptions, structured data (JSON-LD schema), sitemap.xml, robots.txt, Core Web Vitals optimisation, and Google Analytics + Search Console setup.

Technical foundation first
No amount of content fixes a slow, unindexable site. We make sure Google can crawl, understand, and rank every page before touching content.
SA-specific keyword strategy
Ranking for 'Cape Town plumber' is different from 'plumber South Africa'. We research what your customers actually search and optimise for intent, not just volume.
Structured data for rich results
JSON-LD schema markup tells Google exactly what your business offers — enabling star ratings, FAQ results, and service highlights directly in search.
Your chatbot doesn't just answer questions. It fills your pipeline.
Most leads come in with a name and an email. 8AI chatbots capture context, qualify intent, and sync enriched leads directly into your CRM — so your team always knows who to call first.
Capture beyond the basics
Name, email, and phone are a starting point. 8AI chatbots capture service interest, budget range, timeline, and specific pain points — everything your sales team needs to open a real conversation.
WhatsApp handoff at the right moment
When a visitor is ready, the bot captures their WhatsApp number and fires a personalised follow-up within minutes — on the channel SA customers actually respond to.
CRM sync — not just email notifications
Every lead is pushed to your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, or a custom Supabase database) with full conversation context, not just a notification email that gets ignored.
Qualification before your team ever speaks to them
Set qualification criteria in the bot. Leads that don't fit get answered and politely redirected. Hot leads get escalated to a human or booked into your calendar automatically.
