Guides for small business websites and local SEO

Straight answers for Singapore and Johor Bahru business owners who want more customers from Google, without the jargon.

These guides cover the questions we hear most from small business owners: what a website should cost, how to get a Google Business Profile working, why speed matters and whether WordPress is still the right choice. Each one is written so you can act on it yourself. If you would rather hand it over, every guide ends with a link to the service that does the job for you.

Where to start

You do not have a website yet

Start with how much a website costs so you know what to budget for, including the running costs. While your site is being planned, set up your Google Business Profile with the checklist, because it can start bringing in calls before the website is live.

You have a website but it does not bring in enquiries

Test it first. The website speed guide shows you how to run Google's PageSpeed Insights in about a minute and what the results mean. Slow loading on mobile is one of the most common reasons a site gets visits but no messages.

You are on WordPress and tired of updates and plugin bills

Read WordPress vs a static website for an honest comparison, including the cases where WordPress is still the right choice and how to move without losing your Google rankings.

You mainly want more calls from Google Maps

Go straight to the Google Business Profile checklist. For most local service businesses, the profile is the fastest win.

About these guides

The guides are written by Jonah Tan, Web Architect at FindTinker, from the work we do every week for small businesses in Singapore and Johor Bahru. We keep them practical: what to check, what to change and what it costs. When Google changes how something works, we update the guide and the date at the top.
