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.

Zorva Labs vs GoDaddy

Domain registrar + website builder + email + hosting bundle · $10–$40/mo (with upsells)

GoDaddy is convenient because everything bundles — domain, hosting, email, builder — into one bill. But every part of the stack is mid-tier: SEO defaults are weak, the builder produces template-bound sites, and the bundled email is notorious for deliverability issues. Here's the side-by-side.

Where GoDaddy wins

Cheap entry point (~$10/mo for builder)
Bundles domain + hosting + email under one invoice
Huge customer support volume (good for very common issues)
If you already own domains there, friction-free DNS

Where Zorva wins

Hand-coded site that hits 95+ on mobile PageSpeed (vs GoDaddy builder's 40–70)
True ownership of the code and design
$57/mo all-in beats GoDaddy's realistic with-upsells price
Email through Google Workspace (we set it up) — actually deliverable
Domain stays at GoDaddy — we just point DNS at our edge hosting
All 38 SEO checks pass by default

Honestly — pick GoDaddy if:

GoDaddy is fine for buying a domain and parking it. For a real business site, the builder is a ceiling — you'll outgrow it within a year. The good news: you can keep your domain at GoDaddy and just point it at a Zorva-built site (we handle the DNS).

FAQs about GoDaddy vs Zorva

Can I keep my domain at GoDaddy?

Yes. We don't transfer the domain — we just update the DNS records to point at our hosting. Your domain registration stays at GoDaddy, your billing for the domain stays where it is. We handle the technical DNS change.

What about my GoDaddy email?

We migrate you to Google Workspace ($6–$12/user/mo) as part of the build. Workspace deliverability is dramatically better than GoDaddy Workspace email, which routinely lands in spam.

Is the GoDaddy builder really that bad?

Not bad if you just want something online. But the JavaScript-heavy templates cap mobile PageSpeed in the 50–70 range, which directly costs Google ranking. For local commercial-intent searches, that ceiling matters a lot.
