## **What changes when it's set up properly**

Many businesses we meet use a Gmail address, can't reach whoever registered their domain, and pay for ads without knowing what they bring in.

**Your business online**5 of 5 set up

- Domain**yourbusiness.co.ke**In your company's name
- Email**hello@yourbusiness.co.ke**Lands in the inbox, not spam
- Website**https://yourbusiness.co.ke**Backed up and watched
- Ads**Google and Meta**Built around phone calls
- Calls from ads this week<mark>10</mark>And which ad brought each one

*- In your company's name - Email that lands in the inbox - Ads you can measure*

### **Today**

- Your business email is a Gmail address.
- The domain is held by a developer you can't reach.
- Your emails sometimes land in customers' spam.
- You pay for ads but can't tell which ones bring in work.

### **After setup**

- Email on your own domain, for everyone on the team.
- The domain and every account <mark>in your company's name</mark>.
- Emails that land in the inbox.
- A count of the calls and enquiries each ad brings in.

## **What's included**

- A .co.ke or .com domain, registered or moved into your name
- Business email on Google Workspace or Microsoft 365
- SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up, so email lands in the inbox
- Hosting with HTTPS, backups and uptime monitoring
- Google and Meta ads set up around one goal
- Analytics that track calls, enquiries and orders

Paid separately Domain renewals, email licences, hosting and ad spend, which go to the providers. Every recurring cost is listed in the scope before you agree to anything.

## **How it goes**

1. **01**### **Free first scope**

   We list what you have, who holds each login, and every recurring cost, before you agree to anything.
2. **02**### **Domain and email**

   We register or move your domain into your company's name and set up email on it, so mail keeps arriving during the switch.
3. **03**### **Hosting**

   Your site moves to hosting with HTTPS, backups and uptime monitoring.
4. **04**### **Ads and tracking**

   We set up Google and Meta campaigns around one goal and track the calls and enquiries they bring in.
5. **05**### **Hand over**

   You get every admin login and a short note of what's set up and what it costs each month.

Both work well, and we help you choose in the first scope. This is roughly how they compare.

## **Common questions**

<details>

<summary>**How much does it cost to get a business online? **

</summary>

Setup starts from KES 20,000. Domain renewals, email licences, hosting and ad spend are paid separately, and every recurring cost is listed in the scope before you agree to anything.

</details>

<details>

<summary>**Do I need a new website? **

</summary>

Not always. If you already have a site, we move it to proper hosting and connect it to your domain. If you need a new one, we scope it as a website project.

</details>

<details>

<summary>**Can you move our existing email without losing anything? **

</summary>

Yes. We plan the switch so mail keeps arriving, then move existing mailboxes and contacts across.

</details>

<details>

<summary>**Who owns the domain and accounts? **

</summary>

You do. Everything is registered in your company's name, and you get the admin logins at handover.

</details>

<details>

<summary>**How long does it take? **

</summary>

Most setups take 1 to 2 weeks. Moving a domain from another provider can add a few days.

</details>
