| Client situation | Start here | Because | Entry cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Physical location, no GBP or poor reviews | Local SEO | GBP is the fastest visible win for any local business. Results can show in weeks. | £250 one-off |
| Needs leads now and has budget to spend | Google Ads | Intent-based traffic with measurable results from week one. Fastest path to enquiries. | £350 + mgmt |
| Outdated or poorly converting website | Web Design | Every other service sends traffic somewhere. Fix the destination before spending on traffic. | from £450 |
| Wants brand awareness or has a younger/lifestyle audience | Social + Meta Ads | Organic builds trust, paid scales it. These two compound each other quickly. | from £400/mo |
| Established site, wants long-term organic growth | SEO | Compounding returns over 6–12 months. Start with the audit to show exactly what's possible. | £200 audit |
| New business just launching | Web Design → SEO | Build it right first, then optimise from day one. Retrofitting SEO onto a bad site costs more later. | from £800 |
| Local business with site, wants more walk-ins | Local SEO + Google Ads | GBP + map pack + paid search = dominant local presence. Strongest combo for service businesses. | £600 one-off |
| Objection | Response |
|---|---|
| "It's too expensive" | Break it down daily and tie it to one new customer. Ask what a single new client per month is worth to them. Most answer £500–2,000. That's your ROI case made before you've started. |
| "How long until I see results?" | Depends on the service — Google Ads delivers traffic from week one; GBP improvements show in weeks; SEO rankings typically move in 60–90 days. The audit gives a clear roadmap so progress is visible from day one. |
| "I tried this before and it didn't work" | Ask what was done and by who. Generic work rarely delivers. Our approach is built around your specific business, audience, and goals — and we report on it monthly so you always know where you stand. |
| "Can't I just do this myself?" | You can — and the audit will show you exactly what's involved. Most clients find it's not the activity that's hard, it's the consistency and knowing what to prioritise each month. That's what you're paying for. |
| "I need to think about it" | Ask what specifically needs thinking about — price, scope, or timing? Address that one thing directly. If it's price, offer the audit or a landing page as a low-risk starting point before committing to a retainer. |
| "We already have someone doing this" | Ask if you can look at current performance together. Most clients are surprised at what's being missed. Offer a free audit — it either validates what they have or shows a clear gap to step into. |
| "We don't have a big budget" | Start with one high-impact service and build from there. Local SEO, a care plan, or a landing page are all strong entry points under £200/mo. Show results first, then ask for more. |
