Frequently Asked Questions

webIQ is an AI website platform for local service businesses. You enter a few details about your business and it automatically researches, designs, writes, and optimizes a complete professional website in minutes. You review it, publish with one click, and webIQ keeps improving it over time.

Minutes. After you tell webIQ about your business, the AI researches it and generates a complete first draft, usually ready to preview in under five minutes. There is no waiting on a team and no endless back-and-forth.

None. webIQ does the building for you. If you want to change something, you can adjust colors, copy, and sections in a few clicks. There is no code to touch and nothing to configure.

As little as your business name and location. For a richer result, add your existing website, Google Business Profile, logo, brand colors, services, and service areas. webIQ researches whatever you give it, fills in the gaps from industry best practices and local competitors, and builds from there.

Building and previewing a website is completely free, with no credit card required. When you are ready to publish on your own domain, paid plans start at $29 per month. Higher tiers add multiple websites, AI content, code export, and full white-label.

Yes. On the Free plan you can generate a complete, fully optimized website, see your SEO, AEO, and GEO score, and preview the live site with no card required. You only pay when you decide to publish it on your own domain. Publishing is the only paywall.

Starter is $29 per month and publishes one site on your own domain with automatic SSL, continuous optimization, managed hosting, and a monthly visibility report. Pro is $79 per month for up to 5 sites, AI blog content, code export, and removed webIQ branding. Agency is $199 per month for up to 25 sites, full white-label, and client sub-accounts. Annual billing saves roughly two months.

No. Your subscription covers managed hosting, a CDN, SSL, security, and continuous optimization. There is no separate hosting bill, no setup fee, and no surprise add-ons. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time.

Yes, as often as you like. Edits, regenerations, and content updates are unlimited on paid plans, and webIQ also keeps improving the site automatically after launch. You are never locked into a single version.

Every site is built and verified against SEO, AEO (answer engine optimization for AI tools like ChatGPT and Google AI), GEO (local and geographic optimization), Core Web Vitals, and accessibility standards before it is allowed to go live. webIQ then continues optimizing after launch, so your site keeps getting stronger over time.

Local SEO is the process of optimizing your online presence so your business shows up when people in your area search for your services. When someone searches 'plumber near me' or 'best HVAC company in [your city],' Local SEO determines whether you show up or not. Since a large share of Google searches have local intent, this is critical for service businesses, and webIQ builds these local signals into every site automatically.

AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. It is the practice of structuring your content so AI-powered tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Siri, and Alexa can easily understand and recommend your business. webIQ implements FAQ schema, structured data, and clear, concise answers throughout your site so your business becomes the answer to customer questions.

SEO compounds over time. You will typically start seeing improvements in search visibility within one to three months, with more significant results by months three to six. Because webIQ keeps optimizing your site after launch, the foundation strengthens continuously rather than going stale.

webIQ builds strong on-site local signals and guides you through Google Business Profile optimization, both of which help Google understand where you serve. No honest platform can guarantee specific rankings, but a strong, continuously optimized on-site foundation is one of the most important factors for Maps visibility.

webIQ does. The AI researches your business and industry and writes clear, helpful copy for your pages in plain language, tailored to your services and local market. On Pro and Agency plans it can also generate ongoing blog posts to build topical authority over time.

Yes. Give webIQ your current website, Google Business Profile, logo, or brand colors and it will research them and carry your brand into a faster, better-optimized site. Starting from scratch is fine too: it can build everything from just your business name and location.

Absolutely. The generated site is a starting point you fully control. Adjust colors, copy, sections, and structure in a few clicks, or regenerate variations until it feels right. Nothing goes live until you publish it yourself.

Yes. webIQ tailors every page to your industry, services, and target market. A plumbing company's site reads very differently from a dental practice's, because the AI researches each business individually rather than dropping you into a generic template.

With one click. When you are happy with the preview, upgrade to a paid plan and publish. webIQ connects your custom domain, provisions SSL automatically, and takes your site live on fast, managed infrastructure. There is nothing to configure and no separate host to set up.

webIQ hosts your site for you on fast, secure, managed infrastructure with a global CDN, automatic SSL, and built-in security, all included in your subscription. You never deal with servers, plugins, or a separate hosting bill.

webIQ researches your existing site, carries over your brand and any valuable content, and generates a faster, better-optimized replacement in minutes. When you publish, you point your domain at the new site. Your old, slow site is upgraded without the manual rebuild.

webIQ keeps working for you: continuous SEO, AEO, and GEO improvements, performance tuning, content recommendations, security, managed hosting, and analytics. It is an ongoing growth platform, not a one-time purchase, so your site keeps improving long after launch.

Yes, on Pro and Agency plans. You can export the standalone Next.js codebase and take full ownership of your site, so you are never locked in. Most owners happily stay on the platform for the continuous optimization and managed hosting.
