How much does Zorva Labs cost?

$57 per month, all-in. That includes the custom website build (no setup fee), domain registration with DNS management, Zorva Edge hosting, SSL, daily backups, uptime monitoring, and monthly content changes. Larger custom work is billed at $33/hour, always quoted upfront.

Does Zorva Labs handle SEO and AI search optimization?

Yes — every site we build comes with on-page SEO and AI search optimization (AIO, AEO, GEO) baked in. That covers schema markup, llms.txt, structured FAQs, conversational headings, and the entity graph that ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity rely on. Zorva Grow adds high-authority backlinks as a $257/month add-on.

Is the website really free?

Yes. We design and build your custom 3-page website at no upfront cost — it's bundled into the $57/month plan. As long as you stay subscribed, your site is live and maintained.

How long does it take to launch a website?

Most websites are live within 7 days. We request your content on day 1, send a preview by day 4, and launch after your approval.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes — no contracts, cancel from your Stripe portal anytime. We do ask for a 90-day minimum after launch to cover the initial build cost.

Why not just use Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress?

Those builders look cheap but cost more once you add apps, plugins, hosting, and your own time to build. Wix Business with apps runs $72/mo. WordPress with hosting and plugins runs $60/mo plus your time. And the sites are template-driven, hard to customize, and don't get optimized for AI search engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity. Plus, you have to build it yourself or pay a developer.

What kind of website changes are included?

Text edits, photo swaps, hours and price updates, contact info changes, small layout tweaks, and any change under 15 minutes — all included. Larger projects like new pages, redesigns, or integrations are quoted at $33/hour.

Where is Zorva Labs based?

Zorva Labs is based in Nashville, Tennessee. We serve small businesses across the United States and Canada.

Yes. You own your domain, the source code, the design, your logo, your content, and your brand. If you ever leave Zorva Labs, you take everything with you intact — no rebuild required. Unlike Wix, Squarespace, or most agencies, there's no vendor lock-in.

Tattoo Studio SEO: The 2026 Playbook for Booking Consultations + Custom Work

How tattoo studios win local search in 2026 — artist-driven portfolio strategy, style-specific landing pages, consultation booking funnel, schema markup, and AI search optimization.

Michael Blair

Tattoo artist working on custom piece — tattoo studio SEO

TL;DR

Tattoo studio SEO is artist-portfolio-driven. Clients follow specific artists, not studios. The 2026 stack: GBP with 100+ portfolio photos, TattooParlor schema, artist-specific landing pages, style-specific content (American Traditional, Japanese, Realism, Watercolor), and llms.txt for AI citations.

Tattoo SEO is unusual: clients follow individual artists rather than shops. The studio that wins SEO surfaces every artist's portfolio + their booking funnel.

Tattoo studio search arenas

Studio discovery — "tattoo shop [city]."
Style-specific — "Japanese tattoo artist [city]," "realism tattoo [city]," "fine line tattoo [city]."
Artist-branded — clients search "[Artist Name] tattoo" after Instagram discovery.
Specialty — cover-ups, blast-overs, color correction.

Artist landing pages

One detailed page per artist with: portfolio gallery (50+ photos), style specialty, deposit + pricing, booking link or waitlist signup.

FAQ

How long until tattoo SEO books consultations?

30–60 days for first inquiries. Many artists are 3–12 months booked out, so SEO compounds onto that backlog.

Instagram?

Dominant top-of-funnel channel for tattoo artists.

Consultation vs deposit model?

Most studios require a deposit ($100–$500) at consultation to filter serious clients. Surface this on the landing page.

Healed-tattoo photos?

Add 4–6 week healed photos alongside fresh shots. Buyers care how it heals.

Walk-in vs appointment-only?

Different audiences. If you do both, separate landing pages.
