Frequently Asked Questions

Our websites are built with SEO in mind. We’ll handle the technical side of setting up your website’s proper meta tags so search engines can properly crawl and index your website, and we’ll craft your Title Tag to include proper keywords and formatting. 

We provide a checklist in your website’s dashboard for other important SEO tasks to help improve your ranking.

We’ll also install Google Analytics and set up Google Search Console for you, including submitting your sitemap for faster indexing.

Our websites include prewritten content that is keyword-rich in acupuncture and health terms, and are fully editable so you can add your important local keywords as well.

Keep in mind we are not a full-service SEO firm. There are many aspects of SEO that are far beyond our pricing levels. Hiring an SEO firm to help write copy, do keyword and competition research, or run ad campaigns can cost $500/mo or more. 

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

As many as you want! There is no limit to the number of pages or blog posts you can add. Organize your site easily by creating categories for your blog posts, and rearrange your menu with simple drag-n-drop.

We can get your new website live and ready to add content in 1-2 business days*. After you place your order you will need to fill out a short form that collects the basic information about your practice and your new website. Once we get this back from you, we’ll have the first draft of your site up in about one business day.

*Notes:

• Our Premium package is given priority setup service over our Basic package.
• Sites with new domain names can be set up in about 1 business day. If you are using an existing domain name, the time to have your new site live varies depending on your current domain registrar and the amount of content that needs to be transferred.

Yes! Our sites are built on the WordPress platform, one of the most user-friendly systems around. Editing a page or adding a new blog post is as easy as writing an email or using a word processor. We also have a support page with tutorials, including some video tutorials, with more added regularly. If you hit a roadblock, you can contact our support staff by email or phone*.

*Phone support available for our Premium clients.

Yes, in most cases. If you are the registrar of your domain name, we can either transfer it to our account or give you the settings needed to point it to our servers.

If you already have a site, we’ll set up your new site at a temporary domain first, which will allow us to take any of your content from your old site you wish to save*. Once your new site is ready, we will help you change the settings on your domain name and your new site will be live – with no downtime during the transition!

*We’ll need to look at your existing site first to be sure we can easily copy content over. In some cases, it may be such a time-consuming process to copy content over that we’d need to provide an additional quote for a full transfer of content.

This depends on a number of factors and is determined on a site-by-site basis.

If you want to save text and images from pages on your existing website, it is usually not a problem as long as they can be easily copied and pasted.

Here are some things that can make it more difficult to copy content over:

• A very large amount of content to copy
• Poorly built websites, or sites with old coding that requires a lot of cleanup
• Video, depending on its format and where it is hosted
• Sites built in Flash
• Stock photos or text that you do not have rights to copy to a new site
• Plugins and scripts that may not be available on our platform

Feel free to contact us before you sign up if you’d like us to look at your website to see if there would be any issues copying content over.

If we aren’t able to copy everything over for you as a part of the included setup process, you would have access to add content to your website yourself. Or, we could give you a quote based on the amount of time it would take to copy and convert all of the content you want to save.

Yes. Images can be added using the simple and intuitive media uploader, and your files will be saved in a media library. Adding video from services like YouTube and Vimeo is easy as well – a simple copy & paste.

Yes. We provide up to 37 pages of written content from our printed products at Acupuncture Media Works. All of this text can be edited, added to, or removed to fit your practice and match your style of treatment.

*The Acupuncture in a Nutshell, interactive quiz, and seasonal articles we update automatically cannot be edited.
