Questions, answered
What makes a website good for SEO?
Clean structure, fast loading, mobile-friendly layout, one clear topic per page and headings that match what people search. Design and SEO work together — neither fixes the other on its own.
How long does a small business website take to build?
Typically a few weeks to a couple of months depending on pages, content readiness and feedback rounds. Content is usually the bottleneck, not the build itself.
Will a new website hurt my Google rankings?
It can if URLs change without redirects or content is thinned out. A redesign done with an SEO migration plan — redirects, matching titles, preserved content — typically protects rankings.
Do I need a website if I have Facebook and a Google Business Profile?
Social profiles and a Business Profile help, but you don't control them and they rank for your name, not your services. A website is the asset you own and the page Google cites.
Does 7Arx build websites outside Brisbane?
Yes. 7Arx is Brisbane-based and works with businesses across South-East Queensland and Australia-wide.
