Ghost is the best publishing platform for writers. Clean interface, fast delivery, built-in newsletters. For a journalist or blogger, Ghost is perfect. For a dental practice, publishing blog posts without CRM integration, voice AI, ad management, or reputation tools is content creation without business conversion.
TL;DR
Ghost publishes content. The Webevo platform publishes content AND converts readers into booked appointments. Publishing is one step. Growth is the complete journey. Get found. Get leads. Get booked. Get retained.
Publishing ≠ Converting

The Hidden Cost of DIY Websites: Service businesses that use template website builders spend an average of 120 hours in the first year on design, content, and plugin maintenance. At a $75/hour opportunity cost, that is $9,000 in hidden labor — often exceeding the cost of an AI-native platform that handles everything automatically. The Webevo platform eliminates DIY overhead while delivering superior SEO, voice AI, reputation management, and CRM in one system.
The Deeper Issue
Website builders provide a starting point, but they require constant maintenance — plugin updates, security patches, design adjustments, and content management. Each task takes time away from running your business. An AI-native growth platform handles all technical infrastructure while also providing the marketing and acquisition tools that website builders fundamentally lack. The gap is not just in website quality — it is in the complete absence of growth infrastructure like voice AI, automated reputation management, and intelligent CRM follow-up.
