Digital marketing agency FAQ: the basics
We build websites and web apps, and grow businesses with SEO, AI search, digital PR, Google Ads, paid social and outbound. We also do branding, design, video editing and hosting, and our founder works as a fractional CMO.
PERA Business Park, Nottingham Rd, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire LE13 0PB, about 15 miles from Leicester. We work with businesses across Leicestershire, Nottingham, Leicester, the East Midlands and the UK, in person or remotely.
No. Most of our work is done remotely for businesses across the UK. If you're nearby, come and see us at PERA.
Senior people only: Josef (Founder & MD), Robert (Head of PR & Content) and Paul (Lead Developer), plus specialists when a project needs them. No account managers.
Our averages: websites go live 5 days after kick-off, Google Ads are set up in 3 hours, Meta Ads in 4 hours, and a first PR feature lands in 7 days. We reply in 20 minutes on average, and always within the hour in working hours.
No. We're a web and marketing agency. Every person on the team works with AI tools across research, writing, design and code, which is why we're fast, but people do the thinking and check every word and line.
Questions about pricing
Websites start from £499 + VAT. Larger sites, online shops and custom features cost more. You get a fixed price in writing after a short call.
SEO, ads, PR, design and the rest get a written plan and a fixed price after a short call, agreed before we start. Monthly work has a fixed monthly price.
No. Ad spend is paid directly to the platform: Google, Meta, LinkedIn or TikTok. Our price covers setting up and running the campaigns.
We tell you before doing anything outside the plan and agree the price in writing first. Nothing extra appears on an invoice without your say-so.
Yes. Plenty of clients start with a website or Google Ads only, and add more when it's working.
Questions about websites
Our average is 5 days from kick-off to live. A simple site can be quicker, and a large site with lots of pages or integrations takes longer. Quick feedback keeps it quick.
Yes. Positioning and copy are part of the build. It's usually the part that makes the biggest difference.
Every site launches with technical SEO done: titles, meta, schema, speed, sitemap and redirects from your old site. Ranking for competitive terms takes ongoing SEO, which we also do.
Yes. We keep what works, fix what doesn't, and redirect your old URLs so you don't lose rankings.
Questions about SEO and AI search
Technical fixes and better page titles can show up within weeks. Ranking for competitive terms usually takes several months. BidScript's search impressions grew 389% in 6 months.
No, and be wary of anyone who does. We commit to the work, the speed and honest reporting.
SEO gets you ranking in Google and Bing results. AI SEO gets you named in answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews. Assistants read search results, so good SEO is the base for both.
No. Nobody can, because each assistant decides its own answers. We show you what's in the way and fix it.
Questions about Google Ads and paid social
Our average is 3 hours from getting access to campaigns ready to go live. Meta Ads average 4 hours.
A monthly report on the 1st that leads with enquiries and sales, plus updates twice a month. You also get a direct line to the team.
Yes. Paid social covers Meta (Facebook and Instagram), LinkedIn and TikTok, and we edit the video for the ads in-house.
Yes. A Google Ads audit needs read-only access to your account and analytics. We don't change anything without your say-so.
Questions about PR, video and design
No. Nobody honestly can. We report every pitch and every result. Our average to a first PR feature is 7 days.
Yes, plus LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts and Meta ads. Captions come as standard.
Phone footage is fine. We'll send a shot list if you're filming for ads.
Yes, or create simple ones if you don't have them.
