What Standard and Performance SEO include

Standard SEO is Foundation SEO, the basics every site I build gets for free, and Advanced SEO, hand written schema, breadcrumbs and validation, done at launch and kept up every month. Performance SEO adds AEO and GEO on top: the work that helps your business get named in AI answers, from Google's AI Overviews to ChatGPT.

Standard SEO

Suits most local businesses.

Foundation and Advanced done at launch, then kept up every month.

Up to 1 hour of small changes a month, done within 2 working days.

The SEO work

  • Titles and meta descriptions written for search
  • Alt text on every image and correct heading structure
  • Sitemap submitted and indexing requested at launch
  • Hand written JSON-LD schema for your business and services
  • Breadcrumb markup, validated so it actually parses
  • New pages get titles, meta and schema as they are added
  • Schema kept valid and indexing checked every month
  • Speed and uptime monitored
  • A monthly report

Standard report, every month

  • Site health: uptime, speed and any errors fixed
  • Google visibility: clicks, impressions and pages indexed, against last month
  • Your top search terms
  • Schema check
  • Changes made that month
  • One recommended next step

Performance SEO

For busier markets with established competitors, and businesses that want to be named in AI answers.

Everything in Standard, plus the AEO and GEO work search is moving towards.

Up to 2 hours of small changes a month, done within 2 working days.

The SEO work

  • Everything in Standard SEO
  • Ongoing AEO structure, so your business can be cited in AI answers
  • GEO signals for the areas that matter to you
  • Google Business Profile and local signals: your areas named and your details matching across directories
  • Entity markup connecting your business, people and services
  • E-E-A-T review, page by page
  • Ongoing measurement
  • One piece of AEO or content work every month
  • A fuller monthly report

Performance report, every month

  • Everything in the Standard report
  • Tracked positions for an agreed list of target searches
  • Page quality review
  • Enquiries from the site: calls, forms and WhatsApp taps
  • The plan for next month

Bookings and ecommerce plans also report bookings or orders taken through the site, compared with last month.

In plain words: schema (JSON-LD) is code that states your business details in a form Google reads directly; breadcrumbs show where each page sits in your site; E-E-A-T is experience, expertise, authoritativeness and trust, the qualities Google's guidelines ask its reviewers to look for.

How the monthly plans work

£99Setup, then monthly

A one-off £99 setup fee, paid with the first month in advance before the build starts. Your monthly date then runs from the day the site goes live.

12Month minimum

Then rolling monthly. Cancel with 30 days' notice.

NeverTrapped

Settle the balance of the build at any time and the site becomes yours, the same as a site bought outright. The figure is set out in writing before you sign.

2Working days for small changes

Up to 1 hour of small changes a month on Standard, 2 hours on Performance, done within 2 working days. Unused time does not roll over.

QuotedBefore bigger work starts

New pages or new features are quoted separately, and you agree the price before I start.

No VATTo add, on any price

I am not VAT registered, so the price shown is the price you pay. Card fees on bookings and ecommerce sites are paid by you, to the payment provider.

A properly built website for about £3.29 a day.

£100 a month, the Services website with Standard SEO, works out at about £3.29 a day. Bought outright, a site with the same level of SEO starts at £1,100 (£800 for the build plus £300 for Advanced SEO), before hosting, updates or anyone to make your changes. On a monthly plan all of that is included, and you start for £199. The 12‑month minimum is what makes that low start possible.

£99 setup and your first month, then from £100 a month. 12‑month minimum.

  2. The terms in writing, including the figure to settle the build early, before you sign.
  3. The £99 setup fee and your first month, paid before the build starts.
  4. I tell you exactly what I need from you: text, photos and logins.
  5. Live in as little as two weeks from the day I have your content. Your monthly date runs from launch.

Buy outright

  1. A free 20-minute call about what the site needs to do.
  2. A fixed quote in writing, normally within two working days of the call.
  3. 50% to begin, then the build, with previews along the way.

The full terms for both routes are in my terms of business.

Questions about prices and terms

More on the full FAQs page.

What is the £99 setup fee, and when do I pay it?

It is a one-off £99, paid together with your first month in advance before the build starts. Your monthly date then runs from the day the site goes live.

How long is the minimum term?

12 months. After that the plan rolls on monthly, and you can cancel with 30 days' notice.

What if I want to leave early, or own the site outright?

You are never trapped. On a monthly plan the site is a service I build, host and look after while the plan runs. After the 12-month minimum it rolls monthly on 30 days' notice, and you can settle the balance of the build at any time and the site becomes yours in the same way, at a figure set out in writing before you sign.

Can I edit the site myself on a monthly plan?

No, I make the changes for you. Standard plans include up to 1 hour of small changes a month and Performance plans up to 2 hours, done within 2 working days. Unused time does not roll over. Bigger work, such as new pages or new features, is quoted separately before I start. If you would rather edit the site yourself, a site bought outright is the better fit.

What happens if I stop after the 12 months?

After the 12-month minimum the plan rolls monthly and you can stop with 30 days' notice. To keep the site, settle the balance of the build, which you can do at any time, not only at the end, and it is yours. The figure is set out in writing before you sign, so you know it from the start.

How much does a website cost?

At WebOws Design in Gillingham, Kent, there are two ways. Get your site online for only £199: £99 setup and your first month, then from £100 a month. 12-month minimum. That covers a custom site hand built in code, hosting, SEO and small changes done for you. Or, if you want to edit it yourself, the same kind of site bought outright from £800, plus £25 a month hosting, with a fixed quote agreed before anything starts. No VAT to add either way.

Is VAT added to your prices?

No. I am not VAT registered, so the price shown is the price you pay. No VAT to add.

Who pays card fees on a bookings or ecommerce site?

You do. Card and payment processing fees go to the payment provider, not to me, and are separate from the monthly plan.

What is the payment structure for a site bought outright?

50% to begin and 50% before launch, by bank transfer, against a fixed quote agreed before any work starts. Hosting is then billed monthly from the day the site goes live.

How do I edit a site I bought outright?

In a simple online editor called Pages CMS. You are invited by email and sign in with your email address, with no other account to set up, then change your words, photos and blog posts in a form and press save. The site updates itself in about a minute, and every earlier version is kept, so any change can be undone. I show you how at handover.

What does the hosting cover?

£25 a month covers the site itself: hosted on Cloudflare with its security certificate, your editor kept running and your edits published, every version kept, and problems on the hosting side dealt with. It does not cover changes I make, SEO work, email or the domain. It rolls month to month with 30 days' notice either way.

Do I own a site I buy outright?

Yes. Bought outright, the site is built in code and kept on my GitHub, so there is nothing technical for you to look after. Once the build is paid in full, the site's design and code are yours, to use, change and host for your business with any developer, and if you ever stop the hosting you get a copy of the code and your domain is pointed wherever you ask.

Do you do logos and branding?

Yes, as part of a website build. Designing to your existing brand is always included. A new logo or identity is quoted before I start, on a monthly plan or bought outright, covering logo, colours, fonts and the files you need. Not offered standalone.

Need a Wix site fixed rather than built?

That is Wix Rescue. I take a free look first, then give you a fixed quote for the job before any work starts, because no two rescues need the same work.

Not sure which?

Book a free 20-minute call and I will tell you honestly which fits, monthly or outright, before anything is agreed. Or send a message: I reply within one working day, usually the same day.
