Clear answers. Fewer surprises.
About the $47 website plan, ownership, SEO, Google Business Profile help, templates, the free directory, and working with Itersi.
Directory
What is DietitianLaunch?+
DietitianLaunch is a separate directory project from Itersi for RDs, RDNs, nutritionists, and health & wellness coaches across the United States. It is intended to create another useful place where prospective clients can discover practitioners.
How much does a DietitianLaunch listing cost?+
The directory listing is free.
Do I need an Itersi website to request a DietitianLaunch listing?+
No. The directory is a separate discovery project. You can request a free listing without buying an Itersi website.
General
Who does Itersi work with?+
Itersi focuses on private-practice and independent RDs, RDNs, dietitians, nutritionists, nutrition specialists, allied nutrition professionals, and health & wellness coaches serving the United States.
Does Itersi support women-led practices?+
Yes. Many independent nutrition and wellness practices are women-led, and Itersi wants professional online visibility to be financially accessible to them. The mission is expressed through accessible pricing, education, and practical support rather than vague empowerment claims. Itersi does not exclude male practitioners.
Does Itersi write medical or nutrition advice for patients?+
Itersi's own expertise is websites, discoverability, SEO, and online growth. When client content involves clinical nutrition claims, the practitioner remains responsible for professional accuracy and appropriate review.
Does Itersi serve clients outside the United States?+
Itersi's current positioning and systems are built primarily for practitioners serving the United States. Ask if your situation is different.
Google Business Profile
Is Google Business Profile help really free?+
Basic initial setup and optimization guidance is included at no extra charge for eligible Itersi website clients. Ongoing profile management, recurring local SEO, review programs, and multi-location strategy are not included for free.
Can every virtual dietitian create a Google Business Profile?+
No. Google's eligibility rules matter. Online-only businesses generally are not eligible merely because they serve clients remotely. Itersi will help you evaluate the current rules rather than create a profile that should not exist.
Will Itersi verify my Google Business Profile for me?+
Verification steps are controlled by Google and may require the business owner to complete specific evidence or video steps. Itersi can guide the setup process but cannot bypass Google's verification requirements.
Pricing
Is the Itersi website really $0 upfront and $47 per month?+
Yes. There is no separate website build fee for the standard template-based website plan. The ongoing plan is $47 per month. Custom features or work outside the included scope can be quoted separately before work begins.
Is the website free?+
No. Itersi does not call the website free because the website service requires a $47 monthly plan. The accurate offer is $0 upfront website build fee and $47 per month.
What happens if I cancel the $47 website plan?+
Your domain remains yours, and your own text, images, brand assets, and business data remain yours. The Itersi template/design license ends with the subscription. Ask before cancellation if you need help preparing your content for a move.
Do I own my domain?+
Yes. Itersi strongly recommends that you register and keep your domain in an account you control. Your domain should not be held hostage by a website provider.
Are unlimited website edits included?+
No. The standard plan includes up to two small content-edit requests per month. Large redesigns, new features, new pages requiring significant work, or custom development are separate.
Seo
Is SEO included in the $47 website plan?+
The $47 plan includes a technical SEO foundation such as crawlable pages, metadata, canonical URLs, structured data where appropriate, sitemap support, and sensible page structure. It does not include an ongoing SEO campaign.
How much does ongoing SEO cost?+
Itersi ongoing SEO starts at $400 per month. The final scope depends on your market, services, competition, locations, existing website, and how much research and content work is needed.
Can Itersi guarantee a #1 Google ranking?+
No. Search rankings cannot be responsibly guaranteed. Itersi can improve the technical foundation, content strategy, relevance, and discoverability of a website, but rankings depend on many systems and market factors outside any agency's control.
Can Itersi guarantee ChatGPT or Gemini will recommend my practice?+
No. No agency can guarantee inclusion in an AI-generated answer. Itersi can make your website easier to crawl, understand, verify, and cite while building the broader SEO, content, and entity foundations that can support discoverability.
Do I need separate AEO or GEO pages?+
Usually not. Itersi treats AI-search visibility as part of a strong information and SEO strategy: useful original content, clear entities, crawlability, good internal structure, accurate authorship, relevant structured data, and answerable pages.
Templates
Are Itersi websites custom designed from scratch?+
The $47 plan is intentionally template-based. You choose a professionally designed Itersi direction and the initial site is customized for your practice. Fully bespoke design can be quoted separately if Itersi offers it for your project.
Can a sports dietitian use a different style than an oncology or renal dietitian?+
Yes. Itersi separates profession, credential, specialty, practice type, audience, and visual style instead of treating every nutrition professional as one generic wellness brand.
Are the businesses shown in template previews real?+
No. Template demos use fictional practice names and example copy to demonstrate layout. The demo pages are intentionally excluded from search indexing and are not presented as real clients.
