FAQ: website creation & local SEO

We're based in Montpellier (Hérault, France) and travel locally. We also work remotely with clients across France and internationally.

A local agency understands your market, audience and challenges better. In Montpellier, we know the specifics of the local economic fabric: craftsmen, shops, liberal professions. And we stay humanly available, not via a chatbot.

SDR Web is an independent structure of developers and cybersecurity experts. No middlemen, no outsourcing: you talk directly to those who code your website.

Yes, it's actually a dedicated vertical for us. 3 premium client cases in France and Switzerland: Celeste Motors (Japanese importer, auctions platform), SwissMcars (multilingual Swiss dealer), and a 3rd confidential client. See our web agency page for automotive brokers & importers with specific packs (dynamic catalog, marketplace sync like LeBonCoin Pro / La Centrale, multilingual, integrated CRM) from €2,990.

Our packages start at €990 incl. tax for the Starter Pack (one-page website for self-employed and craftsmen). Visibility Pack at €1,500, SEO Pack at €1,990, and Business Launch Pack from €3,490 (company creation + visual identity + website + SEO + ads). For automotive pros, see our dedicated packs from €2,990.

The website itself is paid once. It belongs to you and keeps running with no recurring fees. You keep the code, you stay free. If you'd rather have us handle updates, security and small tweaks for you, the Sérénité pack (€49/month) is available: 100% optional, no commitment, cancel anytime. Your call.

Yes: 4x interest-free, or up to 12x with reduced fees (10%). Payment is split: 30% upfront and 70% on delivery.

Custom design, development, first-year hosting (on some packs), domain name, HTTPS certificate, deployment, onboarding training, and Google Business Profile optimization for Business and higher packs.

SDR Web is VAT-exempt: prices shown are net, no VAT to add. That's a 20% saving compared to a VAT-charging agency for individuals and non-VAT professionals.

The Starter Pack ships in 1 week (with adjustments over 1-2 weeks after launch). The Visibility Pack in 7 to 10 working days. SEO Pack in 2 to 3 weeks depending on scope. Business Launch Pack in 3 to 4 weeks. It also depends on how quickly you validate each step.

1) Initial discussion to understand your need and provide a free quote. 2) Design mockup creation that you validate. 3) Custom code development. 4) Testing and final validation. 5) Deployment and training. We stay reachable at every step.

Your texts (or ideas), your logo if any (we can create one), your photos (otherwise we use professional stock images), and your contact info. We guide you with a clear checklist.

Yes, it's part of the process. We validate every step with you (design, content, features) before moving on. Revisions are included until you are fully satisfied.

A technically sound and well-structured website can be indexed by Google within a few days. Local visibility (Google Search & Google Maps) is then built progressively over several weeks, depending on SEO optimization, your Google Business profile, content quality and customer reviews.

Yes. We create or optimize your Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business): categories, services, descriptions, photos, information consistency and review strategies to improve your local visibility on Google and Google Maps.

No, and no serious professional can. Google rankings change constantly based on hundreds of criteria. However, we build strong and measurable SEO foundations to sustainably improve your local visibility and attract qualified leads.

Local SEO optimizes your presence on Google for geo-targeted searches (e.g. 'plumber Montpellier'). 46% of Google searches have local intent. Without local SEO, you're invisible to nearby customers.

We set up a customer review strategy: printable QR code, direct link to send by SMS or email, automated review responses, and tips on when to ask. Reviews are a major local SEO factor.

A traditional agency routes you through 3 to 5 people (sales, project manager, designer, dev, QA) and bills you for that commercial overhead. With SDR Web, 1 single contact: the dev who codes and ships. Fast decisions, zero gap between the sales pitch and what actually goes live. Public pricing from €990, source code delivered, no-commitment maintenance (30-day notice). We play on results, not invoices.

Yes. All our sites include: HTTPS certificate (green padlock), form anti-spam protection, OWASP best practices, and regular updates. Our engineers specialize in cybersecurity, it's our DNA.

Yes. We aim for sub-1-second load times thanks to optimized code, compressed images, lazy-loading and high-performance hosting. Fast site = better SEO + better conversion.

Of course. 72% of web traffic comes from mobile in 2026. All our sites are mobile-first and tested on every screen.

Yes, 100%. You own the source code, domain name and data. No platform lock-in. You can host elsewhere or switch provider anytime.

You receive your turnkey website, deployed, with onboarding training if needed. We stay available for questions. You can also subscribe to our optional maintenance plan.

Yes, two complementary plans depending on your need. For showcase sites: the Sérénité plan (€49-99/month, no commitment) with hosting, weekly security updates, monitoring, daily backups, 1h of dev per month on Monitoring (3h on Growth with performance optimization + design evolutions). For business applications (sites + mini-apps, CRM, custom e-commerce, SaaS): the Pilotage plan (€129-549/month, no commitment, first month free) with monthly dev hours, monitoring, guaranteed support and review call. SEO is handled separately in both cases (dedicated SEO plan from €149/month). See the Pilotage page for full details.

That's possible. We train you on how to use your site at delivery. You can also ask us for one-off edits, or switch provider (you own it 100%).

In many cases, the first results appear within 1 to 3 months. Profitability depends on your activity, location and offer, but a well-designed website clearly improves credibility, visibility and contact requests.

With our maintenance plan, we step in within 24h. Without maintenance, we remain reachable and can intervene on demand. Our monitoring catches most issues before you even notice them.
