How much does Theo cost?
Basic is $29.99 a month for the site, hosting and chat editing. Starter is $69.99 a month and adds the ongoing search work; it starts with a free 30-day trial. Pro is $129.99 a month with more credits, more weekly pages and posts, and read-only code access. Every plan is month to month.
What does the free trial include?
The 30-day trial is the Starter plan: the site, hosting, chat editing and the ongoing search work. The first build happens before any trial starts and costs nothing. Review your amount due today and renewal terms at checkout.
How long until the search work shows results?
Search traffic builds over months, not weeks. Google's own guidance on hiring an SEO puts the payoff at four months to a year. In the first 30 days, expect the site live, the first pages published and submitted to Google, and impressions starting to appear in Search Console; clicks follow as the pages move up. Basic has no search work, so this applies to Starter and Pro.
What are chat credits, and what uses them?
Credits pay for changes you ask Theo to make in chat: a copy edit uses a little, a new page more, a redesign the most. The ongoing growth work (new pages, posts, fixes, indexing) never uses credits. Top-up credits are available and never expire.
Does Basic include SEO?
No. Basic is the site and hosting for owners who want the essentials handled. The ongoing search work starts on Starter at $69.99 a month.
Is there a contract? Can I cancel?
No contract. Cancel anytime; the confirmation shows when the subscription ends, and you can copy your site and images before then. You own the website and its content.
Do you build the site before I pay?
Yes. Your first build is on Theo: answer a few questions, see the site, then decide. The trial starts when you publish.
