How to Use This Checklist

Check off the items you already have ready. Anything you do not have yet is not a problem — it simply becomes part of your pre-launch task list. The more you prepare in advance, the more accurately we can estimate the timeline and cost — and the faster your website can launch.

Goals & Results Structure & Content Timeline & Launch

You can simply send us your answers to the questions below, and we’ll recommend the right website format, timeline, and estimated budget range.

Checklist: What to Prepare Before Starting a Website Project

Section 1

Goals & Target Audience

Website goal: leads / calls / sales / brand image / service presentation. Target audience: who your customers are, their city/country, and whether you sell B2B or B2C.

Section 2

Structure & Pages

Page list: Home, Services, About, Case Studies, Blog, Contact. Service structure: one services page or dedicated landing pages for individual services. User journey: how visitors will arrive and what action you want them to take. Website examples you like (3–5 links).

Section 3

Content

Copy: what makes you different, what your service includes, guarantees, and timelines. Photos/videos: your team, process, projects, and examples of your work (if available). Case studies: what was done and what results were achieved (numbers/screenshots). FAQ: 5–10 common customer questions that address potential concerns.

If you do not have content yet, we can help organize the structure, write the copy, and recommend the materials you need.

Section 4

Organic Traffic and Leads from Search

Why SEO?

SEO helps improve your website’s visibility in Google and Yandex search results, creating a long-term source of relevant organic traffic.

Important Things to Know About SEO

Meaningful results usually take several months
Much of the work happens behind the scenes and requires ongoing investment
SEO is a long-term strategy — organic traffic takes time to grow
Timelines vary by industry and competition, but initial progress often takes around 4–5 months

How Many Product or Service Categories Do You Want to Promote?

*For example, a concrete supplier may only need one category (concrete), while a musical instrument store may have more than 10 categories (guitars, pianos, ukuleles, etc.).

Google Ads

Start driving targeted traffic and leads quickly. You pay for clicks to your website.

When Is Google Ads a Good Choice?

You want to reach potential customers quickly
You have a clear service or offer

How Google Ads Works: A Plumbing Store Example

A customer wants to buy plumbing products and searches Google for something like “buy plumbing supplies near me”
Google or Yandex may display paid search ads above organic search results
The customer sees your ad and clicks it to visit your website if the offer is relevant
With pay-per-click advertising, you are charged when someone clicks your ad
If the customer does not click your ad, you are generally not charged for that search-ad impression

Where Would You Like to Advertise?

*Important: paid search works best when you have a website or landing page. If you don’t have one yet, we can build it for you.
