Frequently Asked Questions
Get honest, plain-English answers to the questions we hear most—from timelines and pricing to editing your site and improving your SEO.
Most custom websites take 5–8 weeks depending on scope. In a rush? We can launch a simple landing page first while your full site is in progress.
Most custom ThriveLine websites range from $3,500 to $8,000, depending on the size, features, and content needs. We’ll give you a clear, no-pressure quote after a quick conversation—no upsells, no surprises.
We also offer payment in instalments to make things easier on your cash flow. And for smaller budgets, we occasionally take on phased or scaled-down projects when timelines allow. Not sure where to start? We’ll walk you through what makes sense for your goals and budget.

Yes. We offer secure Canadian-based hosting and can handle the setup for you—or guide you through it if you prefer full control.
Nope—and we take extra care to make sure of it. We keep your current site live until the new one is fully built, tested, and ready to go. We map redirects, preserve your existing structure where needed, and monitor your site closely after launch.
We also track your site’s performance for a few months post-launch to ensure all pages are indexed, rankings are holding (or improving), and nothing’s falling through the cracks.
With ThriveLine, your new website won’t just look better—it’ll perform better too.

Our local SEO packages start at $650/month, and can go up to $1,200+ depending on your industry, goals, and how competitive your market is.
Every plan is tailored to your business—so you’re not paying for extras you don’t need. We focus on local visibility, lead generation, and long-term growth, not fluff.

- Competitor & keyword tracking – Know how you’re doing (and where you’re winning)

Most local businesses see results with a monthly ad spend of $300–$1,000 (paid directly to Google). We’ll help you choose a budget that makes sense for your goals, market, and audience size.
We charge a flat monthly management fee starting at $350/month—not a percentage of your ad spend. That way, you know exactly what you’re paying for and where your money’s going.
Already running ads? We offer free audits and honest feedback—zero pressure to switch.
Absolutely. We track phone calls, form submissions, bookings—whatever matters most to your business. If we can’t measure it, we don’t run it.
Yes! We’re happy to take a look. Most audits take under 30 minutes, and we’ll give you honest, actionable feedback either way.
Google Ads can start driving traffic within days, but the best results often come after a few weeks of testing, refining, and improving performance.
SEO builds long-term visibility. Google Ads gets you seen now. Used together, they give you coverage across the entire search journey—boosting both traffic and trust.
We’re based in Kelowna and love working with local businesses—but we also support clients across Canada.
We start with a discovery call, then map out your site with clear timelines, design, build, test, launch, and support. You’ll always know what’s next.
We’ve got you. Our optional maintenance plans include updates, edits, security checks, and priority support.
That’s up to you. Some clients love giving input, others prefer to hand it over. We’ll adapt to your comfort level and keep things easy either way.
