Let's define what's next.

No. The website is one layer of the system. The offer combines positioning, local SEO structure, lead capture, follow-up automation, analytics, and AI-assisted workflows. Some engagements start with just a website foundation, but the goal is always a connected operating system — not an isolated page.

Aethelo works with service businesses that have a real lead-to-close cycle: med spas, contractors, dental clinics, wellness studios, real estate teams, and consultants. The common thread is a business that depends on turning inquiries into booked appointments or signed proposals — and where faster response, better positioning, and clearer follow-up have a direct revenue impact.

Start with the diagnostic. It takes under 10 minutes and surfaces whether your biggest gap is traffic, conversion, response speed, follow-up, tool fragmentation, or reporting. If the diagnostic shows clear leverage and the scope matches what Aethelo builds, you will get a specific proposal. If it is not the right fit, you will hear that honestly.

Most clients are in North America, but the systems Aethelo builds are not geography-dependent. If your business runs in English and uses standard SaaS tools, a remote engagement is usually straightforward. Reach out through the diagnostic form and describe your setup.

No. Aethelo avoids guarantees it cannot control. Anyone promising guaranteed rankings is misrepresenting how search engines work. The work is designed around measurable systems — response time, lead volume, conversion rate, review count — and honest reporting on what changed.

Setup fees range from $3,000 for a focused website foundation to $20,000 for a full growth system install with automation. Ongoing retainers for strategy, content, and system maintenance start at $500 per month. Exact scope and price are confirmed after the diagnostic, not before.

Retainers cover ongoing SEO content, landing page iteration, automation maintenance, monthly analytics reporting, and strategy calls. The scope is defined by what the business needs after launch, not a fixed list of deliverables. Retainers are month-to-month after the initial three-month term.

Most service businesses should start with the diagnostic. It shows whether the biggest issue is traffic, conversion, response speed, follow-up, or tool fragmentation. Starting with the wrong layer — building a new website when the real problem is that nobody responds to leads within an hour — is a common and expensive mistake.

Usually yes. The first audit maps the current website, CRM, booking system, forms, email, SMS, and reporting setup before recommending any new software. Aethelo avoids adding tools you do not need. Where possible, the system is built on what you already have.

Every engagement ends with a handoff document that covers what was built, how it works, and what to monitor. Aethelo can maintain and improve the system through an ongoing retainer — adding content, iterating on landing pages, updating automations, and reviewing performance monthly. If you prefer to manage it in-house, the handoff is designed for that.
