GrowBizNest frequently asked questions
A little clarity goes a long way.
Find answers about our services, the process and what to expect when you work with us.
Getting started
What is GrowBizNest?
GrowBizNest is a managed digital-service partner for local businesses and independent professionals. We handle website, social media, search and Google Business Profile work for you, including AI social media automation, with optional paid campaigns and bookings.
Do you work with businesses in Canada?
Yes. We support local businesses in both the United States and Canada.
Do I need to know which services I need?
No. Many owners start unsure. In a consultation we talk through your priorities and suggest a sensible mix of services. You can begin with one and add others later.
Do you offer software, a CRM or call answering?
Yes. Each business gets its own admin for social media, our own CRM with booking and scheduling can be added to any service, and our virtual receptionists can take your customer calls and book appointments. We set everything up and run it with you.
Websites
What does website maintenance include?
The proposal sets this out. Typically it covers agreed content edits, updates, monitoring, backups and hosting arrangements. Anything not listed is discussed with you before it is added.
Who owns the website, profile and accounts?
You do. Your domain, content, brand assets and business profiles belong to you. Where we need access to work on them, you grant it, and handoff is explained in your proposal.
Can I update my own website content?
Often yes, and many owners prefer to. How edits are shared between you and us is agreed up front, so you know when to ask and what we will handle.
Can you work on a website I already have?
Yes. We can review what you have and recommend whether to improve it or rebuild. We explain the reasoning before you decide.
SEO
What does SEO work involve?
We review your website and local search presence, plan keywords around your services and locations, improve page titles and content, and report on progress. Specific tasks are confirmed in your proposal.
Do you promise rankings or leads?
No. Search results depend on many things outside anyoneβs control, including competitors and search engine changes. We focus on clear, steady improvements and honest reporting, not promised outcomes.
How is SEO different from Google Business Profile work?
SEO focuses on your website and organic search. Google Business Profile work focuses on your profile and how it appears on Google Maps and local results. They support each other, but are scoped separately.
Social media
How does AI Social Media Automation work?
You connect your social accounts and choose your business niche. AI creates captions, images and videos for that niche and posts them on schedule, or you post instantly. You choose auto-post or review first, and we monitor, report and adjust with you.
Do you reply to comments and messages?
No. Community management and answering messages are not included. You stay in control of conversations with your customers, and we focus on planning and scheduling content.
Which social channels do you support?
Channels are confirmed during scoping, based on where your customers are and what you can sustain. We do not assume every business needs every channel.
Google Business Profile
Is every business eligible for a Google Business Profile?
No. Google generally requires in-person customer contact or a defined service area, so online-only businesses are not eligible. We check eligibility during review, before any work is planned.
Who owns the profile?
You do. You grant GrowBizNest authorized access so we can work on it, and you can remove that access at any time.
Can you promise verification or a better local ranking?
No. Google makes those decisions. We can improve the accuracy and completeness of your profile and recommend updates, but cannot promise verification, approval or position.
Can you get me more reviews?
We can help you invite genuine feedback from real customers. We never create, buy or fake reviews.
AI content
Will AI images replace our real photos?
Not necessarily. Real photos are often best for showing your team, premises and actual work. AI images and videos keep your social posts going and can sit alongside your own photos.
Can I check AI posts before they go out?
Yes. Choose review first, and every AI caption, image and video waits in your admin until you approve it. Choose auto-post, and posts go out on schedule within your niche. We also check rights and permissions for any likeness, voice, music or materials you supply.
Can AI visuals show my real results?
No. AI visuals are creative illustrations, not proof of real customer outcomes. We will not present them as genuine work or results.
Pricing & billing
How is pricing decided?
Our plans, setup, yearly renewals and add-ons all have published prices on our Pricing page. Custom work is quoted at a fixed price in writing before it starts.
Is ad spend included in paid campaign management?
No. Management fees are separate from advertising spend, which you pay to the ad platform. Budgets, platforms and success measures are agreed before a campaign launches.
Do you promise campaign results?
No. Paid campaigns can perform differently across businesses and seasons. We plan, set up, monitor and report as agreed, but results are not promised.
Can we change our services later?
Yes. You can discuss changes as your needs develop. Any change to scope, cost or terms is confirmed with you before work proceeds.
Support
How does ongoing support work?
The support route, covered tasks and expectations are agreed as part of your service scope. Your proposal explains what is included and how to request help.
Can I stop working with you?
Yes. Cancellation and handoff are explained in your proposal. Because you own your domain, content and accounts, you keep them if you leave.
Who approves the work?
You do. Website, profile and campaign work is published only with the approvals agreed in your scope. For AI social posts, you choose auto-post or review first.
