4) We'll get a job notification once the subscription processes. We will then complete the SSL installation for you.
This will normally be completed the next morning and the site will automatically start using SSL.
When a site is converted to use SSL, we will update all pages to use the https version
You should update google webmaster tools to say we're using https
Also check all the static pages and make sure there's no orange padlock
If there is there will either be an image or a header snippet that is loading content over http
You'll need to remove that or update the link to a https equivalent
We load almost all images over a CDN that is https so this is unlikely, but you should make sure it doesn't affect your site.
