Common questions
Before you
choose a plan.
A few things worth knowing before we get started.
Why is there an upfront fee and a monthly fee?
The upfront payment covers the initial build or setup. The monthly fee covers the ongoing work listed in your plan. Both are quoted before you commit.
Can I use just one service?
Yes. Choose website development, SEO or Google Business Profile management on its own, or combine them. You do not need to purchase all three. Each service has an initial scope and an ongoing monthly plan.
Do I need a new website to start SEO?
Not necessarily. We review the existing site and platform first. A website that supports the required work may be a suitable starting point.
What will I receive each month?
The work agreed in your plan, along with a summary of completed work, relevant results and next priorities. Editing allowances, content volume and reporting are defined in the proposal.
Does website care include monthly SEO?
Only when your plan includes it. Website care covers agreed maintenance and updates. Monthly SEO is continuing work on your website’s search visibility, content and structure.
How are prices and contract terms agreed?
Your proposal sets the upfront fee, monthly fee, scope, start date, any minimum term and cancellation arrangements. Additional work is discussed and quoted rather than silently added.
Is Google Business Profile a paid Google service?
No. Google provides the profile at no charge. Our fee is for setup and ongoing management. You retain ownership of your profile.
Can you guarantee rankings or leads?
No. We can commit to the agreed work and explain the results. We cannot guarantee a position in Google, a fixed number of enquiries or a specific return.
