FAQ
Straight answers.
The questions owners actually ask, answered the way we'd want them answered. If yours isn't here, email us and a person will reply.
How it works
- What is Doheny?
- When people ask Google or the AI tools who to call, they name one or two businesses, and right now that's probably your competitor. Doheny does the work to make it you: on your website and in the details Google and AI read about you. We do the work for you, and a Doheny person checks each change before it publishes. It's $495 a month, flat, everything included. One new customer usually covers it.
- What do you actually do?
- Real website work: rewrite the titles and blurbs Google and AI show for your pages, build pages for services and cities you serve, add the behind-the-scenes details they read, connect your pages together, and fix broken links and slow pages. Then we send you a short weekly note on what we did and what changed.
- What do I have to do each week?
- Nothing. We do the work for you, and a Doheny person checks each change before it publishes. A short note each week shows what changed.
- How is this different from the SEO tools or agencies I've tried?
- Tools hand you a to-do list and wish you luck. Many agencies do work you can't see and mail you a report. Doheny does the work, a Doheny person checks every piece of it before it ships, and the weekly note lists exactly what was done and what moved.
"Is this for real?"
- Honestly, is this a scam?
- Fair question; this industry earned it. So don't take our word for anything. Start with the free check: no card, no sales call, just a plain-English report about your own business showing what Google and the AI tools say about you today. Judge us on that.
- Why $495 a month?
- Agencies charge $1,500 a month and up, mostly for the people in the middle; our agents do the work, so it's $495, flat, everything included. One new customer usually covers it. No tiers, no qualifying, no setup fees. Month to month, leave whenever.
Your control and safety
- Do I have to approve every change?
- No. We do the work for you, and a Doheny person checks each change before it publishes. You have nothing to do. A short note each week shows what changed.
- What if I don't like a change?
- Tell us and we change it or put it back the way it was. It's your name on the line.
- Can I undo a change after it's live?
- Yes. Every change is reversible. Tell us and it's rolled back.
- What if you get something wrong?
- A Doheny person checks every change before it publishes, and if something slips through, tell us and we roll it back. We also watch every site we work on and catch problems early.
Your website
- Do you move or rebuild my website?
- We work on the site you already have, so there is nothing to move. You add us as a user, the way you'd add anyone who helps with your site, and the pages that help AI name you go on your own site, with your look and your web address. We only build you a new one if you have no website, or nobody has the login to yours.
- Will my site look different?
- No. Your design and your web address stay the same. We add pages and fix details on the site you have, and a Doheny person checks each change before it goes live.
- Do I keep my domain?
- Yes, always. Your domain stays registered to you. We never take ownership of it, and you can point it anywhere you want, anytime.
- Will my booking, ordering, and email tools still work?
- Yes. Your site stays where it is, so your links, booking widgets, ordering systems, and email keep working exactly as they do now.
- Do I keep paying for my website?
- Yes, if you pay for it today. Your site stays with Wix, Squarespace or whoever runs it now, and we work on it there, so that bill doesn't change. If you have no website, we build you one.
Results and timeline
- How fast will I see results?
- Two speeds. You see the work in week one. Your weekly note lists every change we made. Getting Google and the AI tools to mention you consistently takes longer, usually weeks to a couple of months, because that's how they work. Anyone who promises page one in a week isn't being straight with you.
- Can you guarantee me the top spot on Google?
- No, and nobody honest can. Google and the AI tools decide who's the top answer, not us, and getting there takes months of reviews and reputation. What we DO guarantee is narrower and honest: in 60 days you'll be showing up in AI answers more than you are today, or you get every dollar back. That's the on-site work we control. Beyond that we promise the work itself: real changes every week, and a plain-English note on each one.
Price, billing, canceling
- What does Doheny cost?
- $495 a month, flat. No tiers and nothing to qualify for. It includes all the weekly work, a Doheny person checking every change, your weekly note, and a new website if you don't have one. No setup fees, no add-ons to decode. One new customer usually covers it.
- Do you guarantee anything?
- One thing, and it's bounded on purpose: in 60 days you'll be showing up in AI answers more than you are today. If no major AI assistant is citing you when you start, that means at least one is citing you by day 60. If one already is, it means your score is higher than it was on day one. Standing still doesn't count. Either way, if we miss, we refund every dollar you've paid, and you don't have to ask us for it: we check on day 60. One refund per customer, and we show you the measurement either way. We won't promise rankings or that you'll be "the answer". That takes longer and depends on things we don't control.
- When do I get charged?
- We start work the day you sign up, and that is the day billing starts: $495 today, then $495 a month. No contract. Cancel any time from your account page and you are not charged again. And in 60 days you'll be showing up in AI answers more than you are today, or you get every dollar back.
- Is there a contract?
- No. Month to month, cancel from your account anytime. No setup fee.
- What happens if I cancel?
- Your domain is yours, full stop. It's month to month. Cancel anytime from your account, no phone calls, no hoops. (Or email us and we'll do it the same day.) No exit fees, no hostage-taking.
AI content and Google's rules
- Is AI-written content going to get me penalized?
- Google's published rules punish unhelpful content, not AI-written content. What gets sites in trouble is publishing hundreds of thin pages nobody reviewed. We do the opposite: a small number of well-made pages about services you actually offer, with real details, and a Doheny person checking every word before it goes live. That's exactly the "people-first" standard Google says it rewards.
Support
- Who do I talk to when I have a question?
- A real person, by email, usually the same day. You get a direct line to the founders. No phone trees, no "your ticket has been escalated."
