These guides are designed as universal teaching tools—they're what we wish someone had given us when starting out. We share:

  • What we actually use (transparently, in collapsed "Example" sections)
  • All legitimate options (not just our preferences)
  • Real costs and trade-offs (no hidden gotchas)
  • Lessons from experience (our mistakes so you don't repeat them)

Not sales pitches. Not affiliate marketing. Just practical knowledge.

📖 About RTS

RTS Technology & Solutions LLC provides custom software development, cloud migration consulting, and technical advisory services for small businesses and startups.

Why we created these FAQs:
We noticed many clients asked similar questions across projects—not specific to their work with us, but general business knowledge gaps. Rather than repeatedly explaining "how to choose business banking" or "what is SEO," we documented comprehensive, reusable answers.

These FAQs serve dual purposes: 1. Client education - Empowering customers with knowledge 2. Public resource - Helping business owners find answers via search (exactly what good SEO is supposed to do)
