FAQ
Our FAQ section offers clear, concrete answers for anyone who has heard about web agencies and wonders what a team of professionals can really do for them.
In part, yes, and it's worth saying so: text, images and first drafts of code can now be produced in minutes. But AI has to be used well, and it's the tasks that seem trivial that produce the costliest mistakes: a translation that shifts the meaning of a clause, an invented figure inside a technical text, an image you can't legally publish. Errors don't announce themselves. Someone who knows the subject has to spot them. We use AI every day, which is exactly why we know where it needs checking.
Google with AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity: the names change, the mechanism is similar. They cite sources they recognize as reliable: content that answers a specific question, verifiable data, structured markup consistent with what the page actually shows. This is the work we call GEO, and it's designed together with the website, not after the fact.
Yes, for two reasons. Assistants, including AI Overviews inside Google, draw from the same content that traditional search rewards: the work isn't wasted, only the way you present it changes. And people with purchase intent still click. The shape of the question changes, longer and more conversational, but not the fact that someone is searching.
If it hosts AI-generated content or an assistant that talks with visitors, yes, and as of very recently. From August 2, 2026, the transparency obligations of Article 50 apply: visitors must be able to tell when they're interacting with an AI system, and generated content (text, images, video) must be labeled as such. Obligations for high-risk systems have been postponed to December 2027, but transparency applies today and covers small businesses too. In the projects we handle, we treat it as an editorial choice before a compliance task: disclosing what is generated costs little and protects the credibility of everything else.
A good freelancer is a valuable resource for a specific, vertical task. But when a project needs positioning strategy, technical architecture, SEO, conversion-focused copy and regulatory compliance all working together, relying on one person becomes a risky bottleneck. At SHM Studio we coordinate a multidisciplinary team on every project, ensuring operational continuity even when the unexpected happens, and a big-picture vision that a single professional can rarely cover alone.
Hiring and training specialists in-house (developer, SEO specialist, media buyer, copywriter) means significant fixed costs and the risk that skills quickly become outdated. An agency like SHM Studio gives you the experience of a team working daily across dozens of different markets, constantly updating tools and methods. Very often the winning combination for an SME is an internal point person focused on business goals and an external agency that executes, measures and accelerates results.
Our answer is always: business first, trends second. We don't propose technologies just because they make headlines, unless they rest on a solid business case. Whether it's integrating artificial intelligence into business processes, automating workflows or exploring new channels, we first analyze feasibility and real return on investment (ROI). If there's no concrete, measurable advantage, we'd rather direct the budget toward what truly grows your business.
We choose the technology infrastructure based on your company's real operational needs, not habits or prepackaged solutions. We use modern stacks (from advanced WordPress and headless architectures to custom solutions in React or Node.js), combined with advanced security protocols and high-performance cloud architectures. On top of that, we systematically apply artificial intelligence to optimize workflows, run predictive data analysis and boost visibility on the new AI search engines.
We don't care about vanity metrics like simple "likes" or anonymous traffic for its own sake. A partnership's efficiency is measured only against the business KPIs agreed at the start: more qualified sales leads (lead generation), higher page conversion rates, lower customer acquisition costs and return on investment (ROI). At SHM Studio, we provide transparent dashboards and regular reports so we can discuss hard data, not interpretations.
We believe clients should work with us for the value they get, not because they're tied down by ambiguous contract clauses. Our contracts have transparent terms and clear notice periods. Above all, we guarantee you full, exclusive ownership of source code, domain, content and ad accounts from day one: with us, you always keep total control of your digital assets.
We see this situation all the time with SMEs. The first step is to secure your existing digital assets: we check who holds admin access to domains, servers, and Google and Meta accounts. Right after that, we run an in-depth technical audit to understand what from the previous work can be saved and what needs to be rebuilt from scratch. We don't delete anything upfront: we take a pragmatic approach and start from a measurable relaunch plan with short milestones.
There's no one-size-fits-all figure, only a sensible proportion relative to your revenue and growth ambitions. For a solid, scalable company website or a redesign, a typical investment starts at a few thousand euros. For ongoing SEO, content marketing and lead generation, the SMEs we work with invest on average between €800 and €2,500 per month. The golden rule: every investment should be scalable and paid back by the commercial results it generates over time.
