FAQ
Common questions about working with Mayordomo. Answers stay practical: how to start, what is free, who you work with, the two flagships (AI recovery and technical SEO), and how engagement and commercials work. Full contact details live on the booking form.
How do I get started?
Start with how it works, then book free recovery discussion (or a free site SEO review if the public site is the bottleneck). In a few sentences cover the problem, stack or site URL, what "good" looks like, and any hard timeline.
We reply with an engineering read of what looks salvageable, what needs to change, and what to drop, not a sales script. If both sides want to proceed, we propose a bounded next step.
Is the initial discussion free?
Yes. The first reply and a short technical conversation are always free and carry no obligation. Booking is not buying a package; it is a chance to test whether an honest technical conversation is useful.
You decide whether to proceed only after that assessment. If the fit is wrong, we say so. Book free recovery discussion when you are ready.
Do you only work on AI projects?
No. Two flagships sit at the centre: technical SEO (search engine optimisation) for small business sites, and AI project recovery for stalled or fragile AI-driven platforms. Supporting work (Azure cloud-native, Site Reliability Engineering, modernisation, technical leadership, and event-sourced systems (separate read and write paths)) runs when it serves ownership of production.
If you need a maintainable baseline rather than a feature factory, see our services for the full map.
Who will I work with?
Founder-led senior engineers design and ship with you from assessment through stabilisation. No junior hand-off chain or account-manager relay.
Meet the team for roles and backgrounds. Skills transfer is part of the product so your staff can own the result.
What does an engagement look like?
Typical shape: assess the situation, agree a clear bounded scope, then stabilise and realign with you. Recovery work means honest triage of what is salvageable; technical SEO follows diagnostic, stabilise sprint, then measurement handoff.
Details live in how it works and our approach. Scope stays explicit so commercials follow the real work, not a vague retainer.
Can you work with our existing team?
Yes. We stabilise alongside your staff and leave ownership with them. Pairing, clear decision records, and launch checks are part of the work, not an afterthought bolt-on at the end.
The exit condition is a system or site your team can operate without needing us forever. See our approach for how that shows up in practice.
Do you offer SEO for small business sites?
Yes. Fixed-scope technical SEO for small business sites: diagnostic, stabilise sprint, and measurement handoff, not content factories, guest posts, or link farms. Scope is crawl, structure, performance foundations, content-ready templates, and a measurement loop the owner can run.
Start with a free site SEO review or read SEO-ready platforms for the package shape.
How do you handle pricing and next steps?
Commercials follow a free technical conversation. We do not publish a fixed price list before we understand the stack, risk, and outcome you need. Guesswork price cards serve neither side.
After that conversation we propose a bounded scope (or an honest no-fit). Book free recovery discussion to start the recovery path, or use the same form for a free site SEO review.
