   Timelines vary by service. Business formation can take a few weeks, depending on the state's processing times. Website development typically takes 4-8 weeks, while SEO and marketing efforts often show measurable results within 3-6 months, depending on competition and goals.

4. Can you help me if I’m not located in Southern California?

5. What makes SignalHarmony different from other consulting firms?
   
   With over 25 years of experience since 2000, we combine personalized consulting with practical solutions to harmonize your business operations and online presence. Our boutique approach ensures you get one-on-one attention, not cookie-cutter services.
    

Business Formation Questions

​

1. What’s involved in setting up an LLC with SignalHarmony?
   
   We handle filing your Articles of Organization, obtaining an EIN from the IRS, and advising on operating agreements. Our package includes 3 hours of consulting to guide you through compliance, taxes, and next steps, streamlining the process for you.
    

2. How does an LLC protect my assets?
   
   An LLC separates your assets (like your home or savings) from business liabilities. If your business faces debts or lawsuits, creditors typically can’t touch your personal property, provided you maintain proper records and avoid mixing funds.
    

3. Can you help with other business structures besides LLCs?
   
   Yes, we can assist with sole proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations. During a consultation, we’ll recommend the best structure based on your goals, liability concerns, and tax preferences.
    

Website Development Questions

​

1. What’s the difference between a template and a custom website design?
   
   A template site uses pre-designed layouts, making it faster and more affordable (often $500-$2,000), but with limited customization. A custom design is built from scratch to match your brand, taking longer and costing more (typically $2,000-$10,000+), offering full flexibility.
    

2. Will my website be mobile-friendly?
   
   Absolutely. All our websites are built with responsive design, ensuring they look great and function well on desktops, tablets, and smartphones, boosting user experience and search engine rankings.
    

3. Can I update my website myself after it’s built?
   
   Yes! We provide a user-friendly content management system (CMS) with every site. After a brief training session, you can update text, images, and more without technical expertise. Ongoing support is available if needed.
    

SEO and Marketing Questions

​

1. How long does it take to rank higher on search engines?
   
   SEO is a long-term strategy. Most clients see noticeable improvements in 3-6 months, though highly competitive keywords may take longer. We recommend a 6-month commitment for consistent progress.
    

2. What’s included in your SEO and SMO packages?
   
   Our SEO packages typically include keyword research, on-page optimization, link building, and performance tracking. SMO (social media optimization) covers profile setup, content scheduling, and engagement strategies. Details are customized after your audit.
    

3. How does your PPC campaign work with SEO?
   
   PPC (pay-per-click) ads drive immediate traffic through platforms like Google Ads, while SEO builds organic visibility over time. We integrate them to maximize short-term leads and long-term growth, aligning keywords and messaging for efficiency.
    

4. Can you help my business show up on local searches?
   
   Yes! We optimize your Google My Business profile, use local keywords, and build citations to boost your visibility in local search results—perfect for attracting customers in Southern California or your target area.
    

Process and Support Questions

​

1. What happens during a free website audit?

2. How do I book an appointment with your team?
   
   Visit our contact page, fill out the form, and select “Book an Appointment.” We’ll follow up to confirm a time for a phone or video consultation that fits your schedule.
    

3. What if I’m not satisfied with the service?

4. Do you provide ongoing support after a project is complete?
   
   Yes, we offer optional maintenance plans for websites, SEO, and marketing campaigns. These include updates, monitoring, and strategy adjustments—details are available post-project.
