Questions
Pricing questions
Are there setup fees?
No. The first month of any monthly service covers the build and setup. Website projects are quoted as one fixed figure before anything starts.
Is there a minimum contract?
No. Google Ads, Meta Ads and SEO are billed monthly and can be stopped with reasonable notice. There's no twelve-month lock-in to sit out.
Is the advertising budget included?
No. Your ad budget goes straight to Google or Meta, on your card, under your control. The published prices are management fees only, and they never rise as a percentage of what you spend.
Why do the prices start where they do?
They cover a small, well-defined scope done properly. More pages, more campaigns or more content move the figure up. Either way, you get the exact number in writing before anything starts.
What is not included?
Anything outside the agreed scope is quoted before it starts, so nothing turns up on an invoice by surprise. Third-party costs such as ad spend, stock imagery or paid software are passed on at cost or paid by you directly.
