A new website for SEO, when your current one holds you back

Only if it fixes what was holding the old one back. A faster site that works well on phones, lets every page have its own clear title and address, and keeps the rankings you have through redirects gives the rest of your SEO a better base. A new look on the same foundations does not.

A new site does not rank on its own: Google still has to find and re-read it, and you still need pages for what customers search, reviews and mentions from other sites.

Yes. If you pay upfront, it is yours once it is paid. If you split the cost, it is yours after the last of the 12 monthly payments. If you pay monthly, it becomes yours after 12 paid months.

Your domain name and everything you wrote or supplied (text, photos, logo) are always yours, whichever way you pay.

You have two choices. You can buy out what is left of the 12-month agreement, and the site is yours. Or you can stop, and the site is taken down. Nothing extra is added on top of the balance.

Your domain and your content stay yours either way, so you can take them to another site.

We work hard to stop that. Before launch we list every address your current site has, map each one to its new page and set up permanent redirects. On launch day we check every redirect works.

A short wobble while Google re-reads the site is normal, and no one can promise a position on Google. If something goes wrong, we can roll back to the old site while we fix it.

Yes. The new site goes live on the domain you already have. We only change the records that point the website to its new home, and we leave your email records alone, so your email keeps working.

Next.js is a modern way to build websites that sends visitors ready-made pages, so they load quickly, even on a phone. It gives us full control over titles, page addresses, structured data and redirects, which page builders often restrict.

You do not need to learn it. You ask for changes and we make them, and we keep the software up to date as part of hosting & care.

Often, yes, and then we will say so. Missing titles, descriptions or a sitemap are fixed on the site you have with an SEO plan, and the free checkup shows them.

We recommend a new website only when the problems are in the foundations: the site is slow on phones, built on a platform that blocks fixes, or put together so that every change breaks something else. Patching that is like trying to win a race with a flat tyre.

You do not have to have one. The new site launches set up for search: fast, built for phones, with clean addresses, structured data and a sitemap.

Ranking also needs regular work: new pages for what your customers search, links from other websites, your Google Business Profile and reviews. That is what the SEO plans on the pricing page do, and a well-built site makes that work count for more.

A local website usually takes about 4 weeks from discovery to launch, and a growth website about 8 weeks. The biggest variable is how quickly we get your content and your approval.

Nothing goes live until you have approved it, so the date is always one you agreed.

A growth website of up to about 100 pages is $4,000 paid upfront, and we plan it with you before you buy, so the scope is clear. Anything bigger, such as many locations, an online shop or custom features, is quoted by an advisor.

Every quote is written down and approved by you before any work starts.

Hosting & care is what keeps the site running: hosting, uptime monitoring, security and software updates, and daily backups. It is included while you pay monthly. If you pay upfront or split the cost, it is $29 a month for a local website and $49 a month for larger sites.

Once the site is yours you can keep hosting & care with us, or move the site to another host.
