Why should B2B companies build an independent website instead of relying only on third-party platforms?

An independent website (e.g., a WordPress site) is the cornerstone of your digital brand equity. Unlike platforms like Alibaba or Global Sources, an independent site gives you full control over:

• Brand experience: Customize design, user journey, and content to reflect professionalism and expertise;
• Data ownership: Capture first-party data—visitor behavior, email leads, RFQs—without platform restrictions;
• Long-term SEO value: Generate sustainable organic traffic from Google, independent of third-party algorithm changes;
• Marketing flexibility: Seamlessly integrate CRM, email automation, multilingual support, analytics, and more. For B2B businesses, an independent website is essential for building trust, showcasing solutions, and generating qualified sales leads.

What’s the difference between an independent website and platforms like Shopify or Wix? Why choose WordPress?

Shopify and Wix work well for simple e-commerce or brochure sites—but B2B websites often require deep customization:

• Complex product catalogs with technical specs, multi-level categories, case studies, whitepaper downloads, and custom RFQ forms;
• Integration with ERP, CRM, or internal systems;
• Multilingual, multi-region, and multi-currency capabilities. WordPress, powered by tools like Elementor, WPML, and WooCommerce (with B2B extensions), offers superior scalability, lower long-term costs, and unmatched plugin ecosystem. With over 43% of all websites built on WordPress, it’s the most trusted CMS for serious B2B brands.

Is WordPress secure? Can it get hacked?

WordPress itself is highly secure—security depends on how it’s configured and maintained. We implement enterprise-grade protection for every client:

• Hosted on premium managed servers (e.g., SiteGround, Cloudways) with Web Application Firewall (WAF);
• Wordfence Security for real-time malware scanning, login hardening, and threat detection;
• Only vetted, regularly updated plugins/themes from official sources;
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) and strong password policies;
• Daily automated backups (via UpdraftPlus) with 7-day restore capability. When properly managed, WordPress is one of the safest platforms available.

How long does website development typically take?

A standard B2B WordPress website takes 4–8 weeks to complete, depending on:

• Number of pages (typically 8–15: homepage, services/products, case studies, about, blog, contact, etc.);
• Functional complexity (e.g., multilingual support, lead capture forms, PDF tracking, API integrations);
• Client responsiveness in providing content and feedback. We provide a detailed project timeline upfront to ensure on-time delivery aligned with your go-to-market strategy.

What is Google SEO? Is it the same as Baidu SEO?

Google SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of optimizing your website’s structure, content, and technical setup to rank higher in Google’s organic search results, driving free, high-intent traffic from global markets. Unlike Baidu SEO:

• Google prioritizes E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) and user experience;
• Keyword research focuses on English long-tail phrases (e.g., “stainless steel valves for chemical plants”) based on real buyer intent;
• Technical requirements are stricter, including Core Web Vitals, mobile-first indexing, and structured data. We specialize exclusively in Google SEO for international B2B markets (North America, Europe, APAC, Middle East)—not Baidu.

How soon will a new website show results on Google?

SEO is a long-term investment, but with proper execution, you can expect visible results in 3–6 months:

• Month 1: Technical SEO foundation (HTTPS, mobile optimization, site speed, XML sitemap, GA4/GSC setup);
• Months 2–3: Publish 10–15 high-value, keyword-targeted articles; gain initial indexing;
• Months 4–6: Keyword rankings improve, organic traffic grows steadily, and qualified leads begin arriving. We provide a 6-month SEO roadmap—including keyword strategy, content calendar, and link-building—to ensure measurable growth.

How do you guarantee SEO results? Do you offer ranking guarantees?

We do not promise specific keyword rankings (Google explicitly discourages this), but we ensure real business outcomes through:

• Transparent KPIs: Track organic traffic, keyword visibility, landing page rankings, and lead conversion rates;
• White-hat techniques: Fully compliant with Google’s guidelines—no spammy tactics;
• Monthly reporting: Clear insights from Google Search Console and GA4 showing progress;
• Long-term partnership model: SEO requires consistency—we recommend a minimum 6–12 month engagement for maximum ROI. Our goal is qualified leads—not vanity metrics.

Do you support multilingual websites? Does it affect SEO?

Yes. We build professional multilingual sites using WPML or Polylang, following Google’s best practices:

• Unique URLs for each language (e.g., /en/, /de/, /es/);
• Proper hreflang tags to tell Google which version serves which audience;
• Human-translated, locally optimized content (not machine translation);
• Separate Google Search Console properties for each language. When implemented correctly, multilingual sites enhance global reach without causing duplicate content issues.

Do we need to maintain the website ourselves after launch?

We offer full handover support:

• Training videos and documentation for backend management;
• Optional Annual Maintenance Plan (security updates, backups, performance monitoring, minor content edits);
• Most SEO clients choose our Monthly Growth Retainer, which includes content publishing, keyword tracking, and technical optimizations. You focus on your business—we handle the tech and growth.

How do we get started? What do we need to prepare?

Just three steps:

1. Discovery call: A 30-minute consultation to discuss goals, budget, and timeline;
2. Proposal & quote: We’ll deliver a detailed scope covering website features, SEO strategy, and milestones;
3. Project kickoff: Sign agreement, pay deposit, and begin design & development. To accelerate the process, please prepare: company overview, product/service details, competitor websites, and target market information.
