FAQ

Quick answers to common questions about our Springfield web design & SEO services.

How much does a website cost in Springfield, MO?

Multi-page sites with advanced SEO start at $4,997, and full custom builds with e-commerce start at $7,997. Flexible payment plans available — 50% to start, 25% at design approval, 25% at launch. View detailed pricing.

How long does it take to build a website?

Most projects take 4–8 weeks from kickoff to launch. Simple one-page sites can be ready in 2–3 weeks, while custom WordPress builds with e-commerce typically take 10–12 weeks. We'll give you a specific timeline during your free strategy call.

Do you work with businesses outside Springfield?

Yes. While we specialize in web design & SEO for Springfield, MO and the surrounding 60-mile area (Nixa, Ozark, Republic, Branson, Joplin), we work with clients across Missouri and nationwide. Our process works great remotely using video calls and screen sharing.

Will I be able to edit my own website?

Absolutely. WordPress builds include a simple editing workflow and training. For static HTML builds, we structure your site so updates are straightforward, or you can use our maintenance service and we'll handle changes for you.

What makes Thomas McKee different from other Springfield web design companies?

Three things: in business since 1996 (one of the longest track records in the Springfield MO market), 600+ completed client projects, and direct access — you work with Thomas personally, not a rotating junior team. We also build every site with technical SEO and Core Web Vitals performance from day one, not as an afterthought.

Is SEO worth it for a Springfield, MO business?

Yes — if your customers search Google before they call. Local SEO is usually the highest ROI channel for Springfield service businesses because it targets people actively looking for "service + Springfield MO" (and nearby cities). We focus on Google Business Profile, on-page location targeting, technical SEO, and content that converts — so rankings turn into calls.

What's included in monthly SEO?

Typical monthly SEO includes: keyword & competitor tracking, on-page improvements, local landing page expansion (Springfield + nearby cities), Google Business Profile optimization, citation cleanup/building, internal linking, technical fixes (indexing, schema, speed), and content recommendations. We also report on rankings, traffic, and leads so you can see what's working.

Do you help my Google Business Profile rank higher?

Yes. GBP rankings are driven by relevance, distance, and prominence. We improve relevance with service/category alignment, stronger service pages, and review signals; we improve prominence via citations, authority signals, and consistent NAP; and we connect your website and GBP so Google understands exactly what you do and where you serve.

Can you redesign an existing WordPress site without losing rankings?

Yes — when it's done correctly. We plan a clean URL and redirect map, preserve or improve on-page intent, carry over high-performing content, and validate indexing with Search Console. The goal is to improve speed, UX, and conversion rate while protecting (and usually improving) SEO performance.

How do you measure success (beyond traffic)?

Traffic is a vanity metric if it doesn't convert. We measure: calls, form submissions, booked meetings, direction requests (GBP), keyword rankings that matter, and lead quality. We set up GA4 + Search Console + conversion tracking so you can see ROI.

What if I need leads quickly?

SEO compounds over time, but we can often create quick wins in 30–60 days: fixing technical blockers, improving top money pages, optimizing GBP, building/cleaning citations, and rewriting key pages for conversion. If you need immediate volume, we'll also tell you when paid search is the right bridge while SEO ramps.
