Do I need to have a WordPress website?

To work with us, you will need to have a WordPress website or be planning to build your next website on WordPress.  Many clients have websites built on Weebly, Wix, Webflow, Duda or Squarespace and we don't offer SEO services for these platforms. In this instance we can build a new WordPress website for you based on your existing design or we can design something completely new for you.

Are your services once off or ongoing?

  • While a website build is typically a once-off service, there are ongoing maintenance requirements to keep your website secure and performing optimally. This is becoming even more important now in 2021 due to increased risks of Malware and security breaches, and Google placing more emphasis on website performance as a search engine ranking factor. 
  • A website care package offers peace of mind that one of your most crucial business assets - your website - is functioning as effectively as possible at all times. Any clients wanting our ongoing support must purchase a care package as we do not work on an ad-hoc basis. 
  • Google My Business optimisation can be performed on a once-off basis although results do not last for long without further optimisation. For the best results, someone should be managing your GMB profile on a weekly basis.
  • Search engine optimisation is an ongoing service and requires consistent effort to achieve results. The most important components of SEO are adding helpful, relevant and interesting information to your website on a regular basis and steadily growing your online presence across the web. 

How much does a website cost?

Just like anything you buy, the cost varies depending on the features, inclusions and quality. We have made a commitment to our clients to deliver best-in-class websites which means you don't need to worry about things like website speed, mobile responsiveness or SEO foundations as they are included in the cost.

Our medical website projects typically start from $7500+GST.

How long does it take to design and build a website?

Similar to the question about price, it depends on the size and complexity of your site. The majority of websites we build take 8 weeks from start to finish.

Do I need my own domain name and website hosting?

Yes. We can help you get your domain name set up if you would like. We are not a web hosting company although we do provide premium WordPress website hosting with our hosting partner and we also set up a free CDN (content delivery network) for your domain to increase your website security and speed.

Will my website work on mobile devices?

A definite yes. We design and develop your website using responsive design so that it is optimised for mobile devices. This means for example that images are sized correctly for viewing on desktop, tablet and mobile, buttons are big enough to tap on mobile and text is also large enough for reading on a smaller screen.

Do you provide training?

Yes, we include a video training library with a number of easy-to-follow tutorials that you can access any time once your website is launched.

Do you write the content for my site?

It depends. We will discuss this with you during your strategy call.

Can you help me with Google or Facebook Ads?

Yes, we can add Google and Facebook ads management to your ongoing services.

Can you help with email marketing, ebooks and social media posts?

We sure can. We can include email marketing and social posts as part of your ongoing services. We also have a graphic designer and copywriter who can help you put together an ebook to encourage patients to opt-in to your email list.

I'm feeling overwhelmed and don't know where to start.

If you're not sure where to start, the best options are:

  1. Book a free 15-minute chat where we can briefly discuss the problems you're experiencing and find out if we can help. 
  2. Complete the Practice Presence scorecard to get an overall picture of your current digital presence
  3. Purchase a website growth assessment to get a detailed and personalised overview of the exact problems with your website and online presence, with a step by step action plan you can follow to make positive changes.

Maz and the local MD team designed my practice website from the ground up and I can highly recommend them. They created something clean, modern and far more sophisticated than I had imagined and it has really given our practice a boost. During the design Maz was always available to talk and able to translate my ideas into finished product. She was also almost always right when her opinion differed from mine! In the end the patients love the new site and so do all the doctors and staff. Thanks.

Maz and the team have been very proactive with suggestions around our new website for directaccessvasectomy. They set out the steps clearly and although Covid has been a real pain we look forward to the next steps around some SEO updates together.

I engaged Maz to help me communicate with Google to get the verification code I was having trouble getting, and then a once-off GMB optimisation of my page. She was wonderful, and in a very short time had transformed my GMB page with content, photos, and all the bells and whistles needed to raise our profile. I am very glad I engaged her services and thoroughly recommend you do the same

Our two large Medical Centre's have been working with Maz for many years now. I absolutely cannot fault her professionalism, promptness and skill. Our website is kept looking great, any changes (and they have been constant over Covid!) are dealt with at lightning speed and there are often improvements suggested which make a huge difference. Great job Maz (and colleague Andrea). We really appreciate everything you do for us and highly recommend Local MD to anyone else.

"Covid arrived and my patient numbers dropped dramatically. It was clear that I needed to market my clinic a lot better if my clinic was to survive and preferably prosper in the future.Maz showed me how my website was largely "invisible" to google and my potential client base. It turned out that most of my posts weren't working.Maz was incredibly helpful in understanding my business and coming up with an attractive new website that engaged with my patients.The feedback from my patients has been terrific.I absolutely recommend her services for anyone looking to build a new website or optimise their GMB profile."
