How is Lyfework different from a marketing agency?
A typical marketing agency runs ads and social, and often builds the website on a template or hands it to someone else. Lyfework builds and runs the whole system with one team. That covers the website, local SEO and AI search visibility, ads and content, booking and follow-up, and AI and custom software when you need it, all reported every month.
Should I hire a freelancer or Lyfework?
Hire a freelancer when you need one thing built, usually the website, and you plan to run the marketing yourself. Choose Lyfework when you want the site and everything that brings customers to it built and run for you, month to month.
Does Lyfework do SEO for ChatGPT and AI search?
Yes. Along with local SEO and Google Business Profile management, we work on AI search visibility, also called GEO and AEO, so ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews can find and cite your business. Nobody can honestly promise a ranking or an AI mention, and we don't.
Can I move from Wix or Squarespace to Lyfework?
Yes. We rebuild your site as a custom website designed around how your business works, and the site is yours. Then we run the visibility, ads and follow-up on top of it.
How much does Lyfework cost?
Pricing is scoped to your business on a free strategy call. There are no packages to pick off a page, and the call is where you find out what one team would run for you and what it costs.
Do I own my website and leads?
Yes. Your domain, site, content and leads are yours, and there's no lock-in: we work month to month.
