Websnoogie's A La Carte Approach and Beating the Competition

Tweet

Finally, a Web Company That Actually Gets It 🙌

So my friend who owns a small business helped me write this after she told me about her experience with Websnoogie. Her take on it was way more helpful than anything I could've come up with on my own.

Ugh, okay, can we just be honest about how much web companies suck? 😤 I mean, seriously. You call them up because you need something super simple – like maybe a few blog posts – and suddenly you're trapped in a 45-minute sales call about their "revolutionary digital transformation package" that costs more than your car payment. 💸

My friend and I were talking about this over drinks last week, and she was like, "I literally just wanted someone to help me write about my business, not reinvent the internet." 🤦‍♀️

Then she told me about this company called Websnoogie, and I'm sitting there thinking, wait... they actually let you buy just what you need? Like, that's allowed? 🌟 So naturally I made her spill all the details about working with them. And honestly, it sounds almost too good to be true. 🤷‍♂️

Why Most Web Companies Are The Worst 😠

Here's the thing that makes me want to scream: you go in needing help with one tiny thing, and they act like you're completely insane for not wanting their entire everything-package. 🤦‍♂️

My friend explained it perfectly: "It's like going to Target for toilet paper and having someone follow you around insisting you also need a new couch, a complete wardrobe makeover, and a timeshare in Florida. Like, buddy, I came here for Charmin, not a lifestyle change." 💰

Or it's like taking your car in for an oil change and the mechanic being like, "Well, I could change your oil, but what you really need is a whole new car. Actually, have you considered a boat?" 🔧

Apparently Websnoogie looked at this whole disaster of an industry and said, "What if we just... didn't torture people?" Revolutionary thinking. 💡

What They Actually Do (Real Talk) 📋

My friend's been using them for like eight months now, so she gave me the real scoop. No sugar-coating, just honest feedback from someone who's actually paying them. 😌

Writing Stuff That Doesn't Suck ✍️

Blog posts cost $25 each. 📝 "Listen, I tried writing my own content," she told me. "I sat at my computer for three hours, wrote two paragraphs, deleted one of them, ate half a bag of chips, and then gave up. These people actually know how to write." 😵‍💫

She's gotten them to write all kinds of stuff – helpful tips for customers, behind-the-scenes stories, explanations of her services. "It actually sounds like me writing it, not like some corporate robot took over my website." ✨

They also make videos for $35. 🎥 "Nothing crazy fancy, just professional-looking stuff I can post without wanting to hide under my desk. Way better than my attempts at being a YouTuber," she laughed. 🙈

Social Media Without the Drama 📱

Facebook management is $50 a month for three posts a week. 📅 "Three good posts beats seven crappy ones any day," she said. "I was posting random stuff just to post something, and it was... not great." 👥

"They don't promise I'm going to become internet famous or anything ridiculous like that. They just make sure I don't look like an amateur when my customers check out my page. That's literally all I wanted." 🙄📈

The Techy Stuff We Don't Understand ⚙️

She had them transfer her website when she switched hosting companies. It's free if you host with them, or $149 if you don't. 🆓 "Website transfers are basically digital hell," she explained. "Like, you think everything's working fine, and then suddenly your contact form is missing and half your pictures look weird. Let someone else deal with that nightmare." 😭🙏🍷 💯

WordPress setup is $49, or free with hosting. 🔧 "Setting up WordPress properly is like trying to build IKEA furniture while blindfolded. Sure, it looks simple in the pictures, but three hours later you're questioning all your life choices and you have random screws left over," she said. 🔩😅

Marketing That Actually Makes Sense 📢

Directory listings are $70 a month. 🗺️ "Sounds boring as hell, but apparently if your business info is different on Google versus Yelp versus wherever else, Google gets confused and stops showing you to people. Who knew?" she explained. 🤖 They make sure everything matches everywhere. 🔍

Their full SEO thing is $140 a month, and she actually likes it because "they tell me what they're doing instead of just sending me pretty graphs that mean nothing." 🎯 They do keyword research, fix technical problems, get other sites to link to hers. "The monthly reports actually show work they did, not just random numbers that look impressive." 📊💪

Email marketing campaigns go out to up to 5,000 people. 📧 They write the emails, design them, and track what works. "No sketchy spam tactics or buying weird email lists from who-knows-where," which she appreciated. ✅

Why This Actually Works 💡

"You literally only pay for what you need," she explained. 💰 Want just blog posts? Pay for blog posts. Want the full SEO deal? Get that. "No bundling, no 'but this comes free with the premium platinum package' garbage that you never wanted in the first place." 🚫

You can start small and see how it goes. 🌱 "It's like dating but for business services. Try one thing, see if you like them, then maybe try more. No crazy commitments upfront," she said. 🚗

The prices actually make sense for regular people. 💸 "Twenty-five bucks for a professional blog post? I can swing that. $140 for real SEO work? That's actually reasonable compared to the other quotes I got," she noted. 📈

And you can grow when you're ready. 🚀 "Start with some writing, add social media when you can afford it, then do the full SEO thing when you're ready to invest more seriously."

Bottom Line 📝

"So many small business owners I know have horror stories about web companies," she said. 🔥 They promised amazing results, delivered garbage, then vanished when things went wrong. 👻 "Or they got stuck in some insane contract for services they didn't even understand." 📋😵

What Websnoogie does isn't rocket science – "it's just being honest about what they do and what it costs," she put it. 🤝 They tell you what services they offer, how much they cost, and let you decide what makes sense. "It's sad that this feels revolutionary, but here we are." 🤷‍♀️

"If you're sick of being sold stuff you don't want, maybe check them out," she suggested. 💬 At least you'll know exactly what you're getting and what you're paying for. "With all the hidden fees and surprise charges everywhere else, that honesty is actually pretty refreshing." 💎

"The whole pick-and-choose thing isn't just about saving money," she finished. 💵 "It's about having control over your own business decisions instead of letting some sales guy decide what you need. Sometimes the simple approach is the best approach." ✨🎯
