What does it cost?
Three starting points. A one-off SEO audit is £450. A new website starts at £3,500 with research and copy included. Ongoing search work is £600 a month for the first six months, then £1,200. Which one you need depends on what you already know about your site.

SEO audit
You have a website and you do not know whether it is working.
A written report, around five thousand words, in five working days. It examines eleven areas of your search performance, ranks every finding by what it is worth commercially, and tells you what to fix first, including the things you can do yourself for nothing.
What the audit includes - £3,500and up
A new website
You already know you want a new site. No audit needed first.
Six to eight weeks, with research and copy included rather than quoted separately. Research first, then copy, then design, then build, in that order, because the words decide the shape of the pages.
Where to start - £600a month, first six
Ongoing search
The site is live and you want it climbing, not just sitting there.
The loop after the build. Every month we publish up to 2,500 words of search-targeted content, watch performance and schema health, keep the Google Business Profile current, check whether the assistants cite you, and send a plain-English report on what moved. Nothing rises from unknown to the top of search on a single change.
Why pay monthly once the site is built?
How the three fit together
The audit is a snapshot of where you are. The build is the fix for what it found. The monthly work is the loop after that, because the data that says whether the build was right does not exist until the site has been live and gathering it. The audit and the build can each be bought on their own. The monthly work cannot, because we will not promise outcomes on a site we do not control.
Why one of these is a range and two are not
The audit is the same piece of work every time, so it is the same price every time. A website is not: five pages and twenty pages are different jobs. We quote the actual number before anything starts, and it does not move afterwards unless you ask for something that was not in it. The monthly figure is not a range at all: £600 covers the first six months because those months are groundwork and measurement rather than optimisation against results, and it becomes £1,200 from month seven.
What you are actually buying
The audit pays for itself if you go ahead. Commission a build within 30 calendar days of the report landing and the full £450 is credited against it. The audit is a complete piece of work either way, so the credit is a reason to act while the findings are current, not a discount you lose by declining.
Every build carries a 30 day defect warranty. Anything broken or off-spec in the first month after launch is fixed at no charge. That covers defects, not changes of mind.
You own it. Once the invoices are settled, the code, the copy and the design are yours outright. Sites are built on open standards and can be hosted anywhere by anyone. There is no platform to be locked into and nothing to license back from us. If you leave, you leave with a working website. The full terms.
We will tell you when not to spend
If your site is fundamentally sound, we will say so and tell you what to fix instead. That answer costs you £450 and saves you several thousand, which is the point of doing it in that order. What if it is not worth doing?
Not sure which of the three you need? That is a normal thing not to know, and it is a short conversation.
