HELP & FAQ

Questions are welcome.
Tech jargon is not required.

Find the basics here, or ask Amara about your specific business, setup or Amara project.

GETTING STARTED

Start with the problem, not the software.

The free Business Checkup helps Amara understand what your business does, what feels messy, and what you want to make easier before recommending a next step.

What is Build With Amara?

Build With Amara helps small service businesses simplify the digital side of running a business—websites, booking connections, forms, customer flows, follow-up and simple automation.

What is the Free Amara Business Checkup?

It is a discovery conversation. Tell Amara what is happening in normal language. She helps organize the problem and identify what may be worth improving. A checkup does not mean every problem needs a paid project.

Do I need to know what software I use?

No. Describe what you normally do when a customer wants to contact, book or pay you. If needed, Amara can ask for a screenshot or other details to help identify the workflow.

Can Amara help me troubleshoot?

Yes, especially with questions related to your Amara setup. When the chat supports it, you can share screenshots, photos, files or relevant links. Amara can guide safe troubleshooting steps and use current documentation when available. Some issues still require human help or account access.

Can I send screenshots, photos or files?

Yes when the chat supports uploads. They can be useful for errors, settings, logos, brand assets, copy and project files. Do not send passwords, verification codes, recovery codes, private keys or other account secrets.

LAUNCH PRICING

Focused setups without turning every job into a giant build.

Your Business Checkup helps confirm what actually fits before work starts.

What does launch pricing look like?

Current opening pricing on the Amara site is generally $150–$350 for business improvements and simple setups, depending on scope. Larger builds, full custom systems and more complex projects are quoted separately.

What can a standard setup include?

A focused setup can include up to three static website pages, one booking-system connection and one simple automation when those pieces fit the approved project. The exact deliverables are confirmed before work begins.

Are domains and software subscriptions included?

No unless a written offer specifically says otherwise. Customers pay their own domain costs, booking or software subscriptions, processing fees and other third-party charges.

What about ongoing support?

Amara currently advertises an opening ongoing-support option at $97/month for maintenance, troubleshooting, small updates and ongoing system support. It is not unlimited custom development.

WEBSITES, BOOKING & AUTOMATION

What the work can look like.

Do you build websites?

Yes. Standard Amara sites are focused on making the business clear and giving customers an obvious next step—book, inquire, buy, apply or contact. More complex sites require a custom scope.

Do you build booking systems?

Standard projects usually connect an established booking tool rather than building a custom calendar from scratch. Amara first looks at what you already use before recommending a replacement.

Do you build automations?

Yes, when automation is actually useful. A simple setup might confirm an intake, notify you about an inquiry, route approved information or trigger a straightforward follow-up. Multi-system and custom workflows may require custom pricing.

Can you use the tools I already have?

Often, yes. Amara should understand your current setup before recommending that you replace it. Sometimes improving what is already there is the simplest answer.

Can you show me examples?

Yes. Amara can explain relevant examples and point to approved work or demos when available. If an example is hypothetical, she should tell you that rather than presenting it as a client result.

STARTING A PROJECT

What happens after you decide to move forward.

What happens after I pay?

You complete the Amara Project Start Form and provide the information, files and secure access needed for the approved work. That keeps discovery separate from project onboarding.

When does work start?

Implementation begins after the required copy, photos, branding/assets, project information and necessary access have been provided. Missing pieces can pause the start of work.

How do I give Amara access to my accounts?

Use collaborator, teammate, staff or delegated access whenever the platform supports it. Never send passwords or verification codes through ordinary chat or intake fields.

What if I need something outside my package?

Amara can gather the requirements, but she should not invent a price or promise work outside the approved scope. Expanded or custom work is reviewed and quoted separately.

Can I talk to a person?

Yes. Amara is there to make support easier, not block human help. Custom scope, account permissions, sensitive decisions, unresolved troubleshooting or a direct request for a person can be escalated.

WHAT THIS CAN LOOK LIKE

Different businesses need different fixes.

HOME SERVICE

Fewer missed quote requests.

Collect the useful job details before spending time going back and forth, then make the next step clear.

BEAUTY

Less booking-by-DM.

Make services, policies and booking easier to find so the owner is not answering the same questions all day.

CLEANING

A cleaner quote flow.

Collect service details in one place and confirm that the request was received.

STILL NOT SURE?

Ask Amara the messy version.

You do not have to translate your problem into technical language first.
