General & working with us
How does getting a quote work?
We talk by phone, WhatsApp, or email. You tell us about your project, we tell you what's realistic, and we send a clear quote with no surprises. Contact us to get started.
How long does a project take?
It depends on the project. A simple showcase site often takes 2 to 3 weeks. A more complex site or online store takes longer. We give you a real timeline in the quote itself.
Do I own the site?
Yes, fully. The site and all the access are yours, from day one.
Do you guarantee the first spot on Google?
No. No one can honestly guarantee that, and you should be wary of anyone who does. What we do guarantee is our expertise, our SEO knowledge, and an ethical implementation, built on Google's own official webmaster guidelines. We aim for real progress and show you the real numbers at every step.
How can I pay?
By bank transfer, BaridiMob or CCP, Edahabia or CIB card, or cash. We fit what is simple for you.
Where are you based, and do you meet in person?
In Algiers, where on-site meetings are easy to set up. See our Algiers agency for neighborhood-level detail.
Do you work with clients outside Algiers?
Yes, all across Algeria: Oran, Constantine, Annaba, and more. We work on-site or by video.
What happens after the site goes live?
We stay available for your questions, and we offer a website maintenance service to keep the site current and secure. None of it is mandatory.
How do I choose a web design agency?
Look at real results, not just promises. Our guide to choosing an Algiers agency covers the questions to ask before you sign.
Do you also work with clients outside Algeria, in French or English?
Yes. Our site is fully bilingual, French and English, and our founder has over 20 years of SEO and marketing experience, including in the US market. Algeria stays our main focus, but we can support French- or English-speaking clients elsewhere remotely.
Do you work with every industry?
Yes. Every industry has its own questions and its own competition, but the basics stay the same: a fast site, clear content, and real follow-through. We adapt the strategy to your market, not the other way around.
SEO
What is SEO, and why does it matter?
SEO gets your site to show up higher in Google's results, without paying for ads. Most customers search on Google first, before they buy or call.
How long before SEO shows results?
Usually 3 to 6 months for the first real progress. SEO is groundwork, not an overnight fix.
Do you do local SEO and Google Business Profile work?
Yes, all across Algeria. We create and optimize your Google Business Profile, so you show up in nearby searches, on Google and on Maps. Our Google Business Profile guide walks through the whole process.
What is AI SEO (ChatGPT, Google AI)?
It's writing and structuring content so AI tools can understand and cite it, on top of classic Google results. We call this AI SEO. See our AI Overview guide.
What is an SEO audit?
An SEO audit is a real review of the site: technical setup, content, links, and competitors. It shows exactly what to fix first, with clear priorities.
Should content be written for Google or for readers?
For both, but always starting with the reader. Useful, clear content ends up working better for Google too. See our content SEO guide.
Does SEO work for an online store too?
Yes, with its own rules: well-written product pages, clear categories, and a site structure Google can crawl easily. See our e-commerce SEO service.
Where can I find what an SEO term means?
Check our SEO glossary, with over 60 terms explained simply.
Is link building risky for my site?
Bad link building can hurt a site, if links are bought in bulk or come from spammy sites. We only use ethical link-building techniques, in line with Google's guidelines, to build authority that actually lasts.
Do you write content too (articles, product pages)?
Yes, writing is part of our content SEO: blog articles, product pages, and service pages, always written for real people, not just an algorithm.
Web design
Why Next.js instead of WordPress?
WordPress is still a good tool, and we build with it too when it fits a project. But a Next.js site is usually faster and more secure, without dozens of plugins that age badly. See our WordPress vs Next.js comparison.
Will my site be fast?
We aim for a 100/100 PageSpeed score on every page. Our Comfy Mattress case study shows how we get there in real conditions.
How much does a website cost in Algeria?
It depends on the site's size and features. See our clear pricing in Dinar, or our full guide on website costs.
Do you build online stores?
Yes, e-commerce stores built to sell in Algeria: local payment, clear product pages, and a simple cart. See also our guide to choosing an e-commerce platform.
What's the point of a website if my customers already message me on WhatsApp?
WhatsApp is great for chatting, but a website makes you visible on Google, before the first message even happens. See our WhatsApp and website guide.
My site is old, do I need to rebuild it from scratch?
Not always. A website redesign can sometimes focus on just the design or the speed, without starting over. We look first at what's worth keeping.
Do you build mobile apps too?
Yes, we do Android app development for businesses that need one, alongside the website.
Is a template enough, or do I need something custom?
It depends on your needs. A template works for a tight budget, but a custom website fits better when a business has particular needs.
Digital marketing & social media
Do Facebook and Instagram ads work in Algeria?
Yes, when they're well targeted. We set the audience, budget, and message to reach the right people. See our Facebook and Instagram ads guide.
Is a Facebook page enough, or do I really need a website?
A Facebook page alone isn't enough: it doesn't rank on Google, and you don't control what shows up on it. See our post a Facebook page is not enough in Algeria.
Does email marketing still work?
Yes, especially for staying in touch with customers who are already interested. See our email marketing service.
How do you handle negative reviews on Google?
We respond honestly, and never delete a real review. See our online reputation management service.
Which social networks should I be on?
It depends on your customers, not a fixed rule. For most businesses in Algeria, Facebook and Instagram remain the most effective starting point.
What does digital marketing include at SimplerWebs?
Digital marketing covers Facebook, Instagram, and Google ads, email marketing, and reputation management, always tied to a real business goal.
I don't know where to start, can you help me decide?
Yes, that's what our business consulting is for: we look at your situation and tell you what actually matters first.
Can't find your answer?
Just ask us directly. We would rather give you a real answer than one more FAQ.
