For US businesses
Websites, SEO and AI automation for US small businesses
We build for US buyers: American-market copy on request, local SEO by city, a complete Google Business Profile, and Shopify stores with Shopify Payments, Shop Pay, PayPal and Apple Pay, with sales tax set up by state in Shopify. Automations connect the tools US teams already use, such as HubSpot, Gmail, Slack, QuickBooks and Calendly.
The time difference works in your favour on build work: you approve at the end of your day and wake up to progress. For startups, we build MVPs from US$7,500 in four to six weeks, starting with a discovery sprint from US$1,000 that is credited in full against the build.
- Local SEO by city and Google Business Profile
- Shopify with Shop Pay, PayPal and Apple Pay

Time zones
Our working day, in your time.
Colombo is 9.5 to 10.5 hours ahead of New York and 12.5 to 13.5 hours ahead of Los Angeles, so our working days barely touch. We work asynchronously: you send feedback at the end of your day, and the next version is waiting for you in the morning. When a live call matters, we arrange it for your early morning.
Billing
Paying from the US: currency, tax and invoices
There is no VAT on our invoices. If your accountant needs a W-8BEN-E form for a foreign contractor, we provide one.
Every "from" price is the starting point for the simplest version of that offer. Ad spend, Shopify plans, paid apps, domains and WhatsApp message fees are paid by you directly, at cost.
- Invoices in USD
- International bank transfer or Payoneer
- Monthly plans invoiced on the 1st, in advance
- Projects: 50% to start, 50% before launch
- No lock-in: 30 days’ notice
- You own the work once it is paid

Questions
Questions from US businesses.
How much does a small business website cost in the US?
Template website packages in the US typically cost US$799 to US$1,999, and custom agency builds much more. With Ceylond, a landing page starts from US$790, a custom five-page business website from US$1,790 and a Shopify store from US$1,390. Domains, hosting and Shopify plans are extra.
How much should a small business pay for SEO per month in the US?
SE Ranking found that 64% of US agencies charge under US$1,000 a month. Ceylond local SEO starts from US$500 a month, and SEO with AI search optimisation (AEO and GEO) from US$950 a month. Be wary of plans far below that; very cheap SEO is often automated link spam.
How much does an AI automation agency charge?
A survey of 48 automation agencies put the median price of one workflow at about US$1,000 and of an AI agent at about US$3,558. Ceylond builds an n8n workflow from US$900 and an AI agent from US$2,750, with monitoring from US$149 a month.
How do you work with US time zones?
Asynchronously. Our studio works 09:00 to 18:00 Sri Lanka time, which is overnight in the US, so you send feedback at the end of your day and wake up to the next version. We share a project board and short video walkthroughs, and arrange live calls for your early morning when needed.
Do you need a W-9 or W-8BEN-E?
Ceylond is a foreign business, so a W-9 does not apply. If your accountant asks for a W-8BEN-E, we provide one. There is no VAT or sales tax on our invoices.
Is it safe to outsource web design and marketing from the US to Sri Lanka?
It is safe when the agency gives you a fixed written quote, works in stages and hands you ownership of everything. Ceylond invoices in US dollars, takes half to start and half before launch, registers domains and ad accounts in your name, and refunds your first payment if you do not approve the homepage design after two rounds.
Do you invoice in US dollars?
Yes. Clients in the United States are invoiced in USD and pay by international bank transfer or Payoneer. Monthly plans are invoiced on the 1st, in advance; projects are paid half to start and half before launch, or in stages for larger builds. There is no VAT or sales tax on our invoices.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. Monthly plans run month to month with 30 days’ notice. You own your website, domain, ad accounts and content, and we hand everything over if you leave.
