General
What services does EZQ Marketing offer?
Web development, SEO (search engine optimization), mobile app development, and digital marketing. We focus on helping Houston small and medium businesses build their digital presence.
Are you a Houston company?
Yes. EZQ Marketing is based in Houston and primarily serves Houston-area businesses. We understand the local market and what works here.
What's the relationship between EZQ Marketing and EZQ Labs?
We're sister companies under the EZQ Group. EZQ Marketing handles web development, SEO, and digital marketing. EZQ Labs focuses on AI integration and AI training. If you're looking for AI solutions, we'll point you to Labs.
How do I get started?
Contact us through the website or email. We'll set up a conversation to understand your needs, then provide a clear proposal with timeline and pricing. No pressure, no commitment required for the initial conversation.
Web Development
How much does a website cost?
It depends on complexity. A simple business website is different from an e-commerce platform with inventory management. We provide clear quotes after understanding your specific needs - no hidden fees.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most business websites take 4-8 weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger or more complex projects take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
Will I own my website?
Yes. You own everything we build. We don't hold websites hostage. If you decide to move to a different host or work with someone else later, you take your site with you.
Do you offer website maintenance?
Yes. We offer maintenance packages for updates, security, and content changes. We'll explain what's included and what it costs.
What platforms do you build on?
We use modern, performance-focused frameworks (like Astro) that are faster and more secure than traditional WordPress themes. We'll recommend what's right for your needs.
SEO
How long does SEO take to work?
Meaningful results typically take 3-6 months. Anyone promising faster results is either lying or using tactics that will get you penalized. SEO is a long game, and we're upfront about that.
Can you guarantee first-page rankings?
No, and anyone who guarantees that is misleading you. Google's algorithm isn't something anyone controls. We can improve your visibility and rankings, but we can't guarantee specific positions.
What's included in your SEO services?
Technical SEO (site structure, speed, mobile optimization), on-page optimization (content, keywords, meta tags), local SEO (Google Business Profile, citations), and content strategy. We explain everything we do.
How do I know if SEO is working?
We provide regular reports showing rankings, traffic, and what we've done. You'll see the data, and we'll explain what it means.
Mobile Apps
Do I really need a mobile app for my business?
Maybe not. Many businesses are better served by a well-designed mobile website or progressive web app. We'll give you an honest assessment before recommending an app build.
How much does a mobile app cost?
Apps are significant investments - typically starting in the mid five figures for something custom. We'll discuss your needs and give you a clear estimate.
Do you build for iOS, Android, or both?
We can do both. We often use cross-platform development approaches that serve both platforms efficiently without sacrificing quality.
What happens after the app launches?
Apps need ongoing maintenance - bug fixes, updates for new OS versions, and feature improvements. We offer support packages for post-launch.
Digital Marketing
What digital marketing services do you offer?
Strategy development, paid advertising (Google Ads, social media ads), social media management, email marketing, and content marketing. We typically recommend an integrated approach.
How much should I spend on digital marketing?
It depends on your goals, industry, and competition. We'll help you set a realistic budget based on what you're trying to achieve.
How do I know if my marketing is working?
We set up tracking and provide regular reports. You'll see metrics that matter - leads, conversions, cost per acquisition - not just vanity numbers.
Do you manage social media?
Yes, as part of digital marketing engagements. We can handle content creation, posting, and engagement on platforms that make sense for your business.

We work collaboratively with revision rounds built in. If something isn't right, we fix it. Our goal is work you're proud of.
