Common Questions

Do you offer SEO as a standalone service, or only with a website build?

Both. SEO and Google Business Profile optimisation is included free with every website we build, and we also offer it as a standalone service for businesses who already have a website and just want their Google rankings and Google Business Profile improved.

Do you set up and optimise Google Business Profiles?

Yes. Google Business Profile is one of the biggest ranking factors for local businesses. We handle full setup or optimisation of an existing profile — categories, service areas, photos, posts, Q&A, and a review generation strategy — to get you into the local map pack.

How long does SEO take to show results?

Google Business Profile improvements can show movement within a few weeks. Organic website rankings typically take 3–6 months to build momentum, since Google needs time to trust a site. SEO is a long-term investment, not an overnight fix.

Can you guarantee first page rankings?

No, and any agency that promises guaranteed rankings isn't being straight with you — Google's algorithm changes constantly and no one controls it. What we do guarantee is proper, Google-approved best practice: real keyword research, technical optimisation, and consistent monthly work, reported honestly every step of the way.

How much does SEO cost?

SEO is included free with every website build. Standalone, cheap SEO packages start from £85 a month and are tailored around your goals and current site, starting with a free audit. No lock-in contracts.

What are AEO and GEO, and do you do them?

AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) are about getting your business recommended by AI tools like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity, not just ranked in traditional blue-link results. It's built into every SEO package we run alongside standard Google SEO, so you show up whichever way your customers search.

What's included in local SEO?

Google Business Profile optimisation, NAP (name, address, phone) consistency across the web, location-specific content and landing pages, local directory citations, and a review generation strategy — everything that helps nearby customers find you first.

Do you write content or blog posts as part of SEO?

Yes. Ongoing SEO packages include monthly content and blog writing targeted at the keywords your customers are actually searching for, which is one of the most effective ways to keep rankings moving upward.

Is SEO different from paid ads (PPC)?

Yes. SEO builds free, organic visibility on Google that keeps working long after the work is done. Paid ads (PPC) buy visibility instantly but stop the moment you stop paying. We focus on SEO because it builds lasting value for your business.
