Frequently asked questions

Do you have more questions? Please contact us so we can answer your questions directly.

Most sites see their first ranking improvements within two to three months, and steady growth in enquiries within six to twelve. Results keep building the longer SEO continues, though competitive industries take longer.

Our SEO costs £1,000 for the first month, including a full audit and plan, then from £750 a month. The exact price depends on how competitive your searches are and how many areas you want to target. Be wary of very cheap packages: they often rely on spammy shortcuts that can harm your rankings.

No reliable agency can promise a guaranteed number one ranking. Google shifts its rules constantly, and they are the only ones who control the final layout. Our actual goal is to bring you visitors who are likely to become customers, not just bigger numbers.

We track three things each month. First, your organic traffic: the visitors who find you through Google rather than paid ads. Second, your rankings for the searches that matter most to your business, so you can see your pages moving towards the top three. Third, the enquiries your website brings in, such as form submissions and calls, so you can see whether the new visitors are getting in touch.

Yes. We handle the technical work for you, including WordPress, theme and plugin updates, security patches and regular backups. We can also arrange fast, secure hosting for your site. And whenever you need design tweaks, text changes or new pages, just ask.
