DIY builders cost less but you do all the work. AI bot builders give you a chat interface and no local human. Agencies do the work but charge $1,500–5,000/mo on a contract. NorcalAI is $149–499/mo, $0 setup, no contract, with a real person in Northern California.
Pricing questions
Is there really no setup fee?
Yes. We build your website at no charge when you start any monthly plan. You pay your first month, we build and launch the site, and the monthly fee covers the build, hosting, and the SEO work from then on.
Is there a contract?
No. Every plan is month to month and you can cancel anytime. We keep clients by doing the work, not by locking them in.
What counts as a page?
A page is a distinct URL with its own content — home, about, services, contact, a service page, or a location page. Blog posts do not count toward your page limit. If you outgrow your plan, you can move up a tier at any time.
What is AI SEO / GEO and why does it matter?
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the work that makes your business show up inside AI answers — ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Gemini. More people now ask an AI instead of scrolling search results. We structure your content and schema so those tools can read your site and cite you.
Do I own my website if I cancel?
Yes. Your domain, your content, and your code are yours. If you cancel, we hand over the code and help you move it to your own hosting. There is nothing to hold hostage.
Can you move my existing site?
Yes, and migration is free. We rebuild your Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, or WordPress site in clean code, keep your content and branding, and set up 301 redirects so you do not lose rankings. Most migrations take one to two weeks.
What does "website updates" include?
Text changes, new photos, price and hours updates, new sections, and small layout fixes. Starter includes 30 minutes a month, Growth one hour, and Dominate two hours. Bigger projects like a new page beyond your plan limit are quoted separately.
Do the blog posts sound like AI?
No. Each post is written for your business, reviewed by a person, and edited to your voice before it goes live. We use research tools, but nothing publishes without a human pass.
What areas do you serve?
Northern California and the Pacific Northwest: Redding, Sacramento, Chico, Reno, Lake Tahoe, Portland, and Seattle, plus the surrounding towns. We also work with remote clients anywhere in the US.
How fast is my site live?
Most sites launch in one to two weeks after we have your content and access. Larger builds and migrations can take three weeks. We give you a date at kickoff and stick to it.
