Your growth journey

Clear priorities.Practical next steps.

A straightforward route from understanding your online presence to agreeing and delivering the right improvements.

01

Tell us where you want to grow.

Share your business, services, area and what you want to improve. Start with a free visibility audit or discuss the website you need.

02

Understand the opportunities.

We review the relevant profile, reviews, website and competition, then explain which gaps deserve attention first.

03

Agree the work and price.

Choose the service that fits. We confirm the scope, monthly priorities or website brief before you commit.

04

Improve and review.

We carry out the agreed work and review progress with you. Website builds follow an approval and launch process; growth support follows the agreed ongoing priorities.

The details.
Without the jargon.

A few answers before we begin.

Do you offer a free trial of Reviews or Online Growth?

You can try 3 personalised Google review replies free, with no card or commitment. For Online Growth, start with a free visibility audit covering your public Google presence, reviews, website and relevant competitors. Paid review and growth services are month-to-month with 30 days’ notice and no setup fee.

Do I need a new website to use Reviews & Reputation?

No. Reviews & Reputation can be used as a standalone service for an eligible Google Business Profile. If your website or wider Google presence also needs work, you can move into Online Growth later.

How do you help businesses get more reviews?

We make the process easier with a direct Google review link and ready-to-use request wording, then help you monitor and respond to the reviews that arrive. Requests should go to customers consistently rather than being filtered by whether you expect positive feedback.

What is Online Growth support?

Online Growth is a separate ongoing service from £179/month. Each month we review and prioritise the areas most likely to matter: Google Business Profile, Search Console/search visibility, reviews and responses, NAP/citations, website/service pages, conversion opportunities, nearby competitor movement and the next actions to take. The exact work is prioritised around the business rather than forcing the same fixed task list onto every customer.

Will you guarantee Google rankings or enquiries?

No. We provide a clear website and search foundations, but rankings and enquiry volumes depend on factors outside our control.

What does the monthly price cover?

Your agreed website build, a .co.uk domain, hosting, branded email, Analytics and Search Console setup, copywriting help and monthly care. We confirm the exact scope and content-change allowance before work starts.

Do I need to write all the content?

No. We use your answers and business information to draft the pages. You check the details, approve the wording and supply any logos or photos you want to use.

How quickly can my website be ready?

For a standard Gold Oak website, we target having the first complete version ready within a week once we have the information, access, logo/photos and other essentials needed to build it. More complex projects, extra functionality or delayed customer feedback can take longer, and any different timeline is agreed before work starts.

What happens after 12 months?

After all 12 initial monthly payments have been made, you own the bespoke website work. You can move onto Gold Oak Care for £39.99/month, choose hosting only from £15/month, or transfer the website elsewhere. Gold Oak Care is month-to-month and no new 12-month minimum term begins automatically. Third-party licence requirements may still apply after handover.

What's different about hosting only?

Hosting only starts at £15/month and covers hosting, SSL and daily backups, with one restore from an available clean backup per incident. You handle content changes and WordPress, theme and plugin updates. Gold Oak Care is £39.99/month and adds ongoing WordPress/theme/plugin maintenance, technical support and agreed minor content changes.

Can I change plans as the business grows?

Yes. We can review your page requirements and support needs together, then agree the new price, scope and any change to your terms before upgrading.

What if something goes wrong?

Contact us so we can assess the problem. One restoration from an available clean backup is included per incident. A restore depends on a clean recovery point and does not remove an underlying fault. More involved repairs or malware removal are separate paid work, with the cost discussed first.

Can I leave before the first year is complete?

Yes. You can give 30 days' written notice. If you don't want to keep the website, the service ends and the Gold Oak-built website is taken offline without ownership transferring. If you want to keep the website, you can buy out the remaining website purchase balance. See the Customer Agreement for the full terms.
