Growth retainer

Your whole digital presence. One retainer.

Website, search, Google Business, reviews, tracking, content, social and ads — run together, by one team, for one monthly fee. Every piece feeds the next, and all of it is aimed at one thing: more leads, more sales, more growth.

Why it all matters

Each piece feeds the next. Miss one and the chain breaks.

  1. Website

    Everything ends up here. If it’s slow, confusing or doesn’t capture enquiries properly, every penny spent on the rest leaks away.

    Without it: Visitors arrive and leave without a trace.

  2. SEO

    Being found on Google for what you actually sell, where you actually sell it — without paying for every click.

    Without it: Your competitors get the searches you should be getting.

  3. Google Business Profile

    For local businesses it’s often seen before the website. Hours, photos, posts and services, kept current.

    Without it: You’re missing from the map — or worse, showing old information.

  4. Reviews

    Review count and score feed local ranking, and they’re what people compare before they choose. Asked for, replied to, every time.

    Without it: The business down the road with more reviews gets the call.

  5. Analytics & tracking

    GA4, Tag Manager and conversion tracking set up properly, so you know which channels bring paying customers — not just visits.

    Without it: You’re guessing what works, and paying for what doesn’t.

  6. Content & blog

    Useful articles answer the questions your customers are already searching for, and give search engines — and AI assistants — something to quote.

    Without it: You have nothing worth finding beyond the homepage.

  7. Social media

    Regular, on-brand posts with images sized and refined for every platform. Proof you’re open, active and worth trusting.

    Without it: A last post from eighteen months ago.

  8. Google Ads

    Paid search that’s measured against real enquiries and sales, tuned weekly — so budget goes where it returns.

    Without it: Spend that’s impossible to judge.

  9. Reporting & AI

    One clear monthly report on what’s working. And once the foundations are in, AI that runs on your own data — follow-ups, lead scoring, assistants.

    Without it: Decisions made on gut feel.

What it costs

From £35 a month to everything, done for you.

Every business is different, so every retainer is shaped around yours after a free consultation. Roughly, it looks like this:

  1. From £35/mo

    Care

    Hosting, updates, backups, security and uptime monitoring. Your site looked after, so it never becomes a problem.

  2. Tailored

    Growth

    Care, plus the pieces you need most — SEO, Google Business and reviews, tracking, content or social — with a monthly report.

  3. Around £3,000/mo

    Everything

    We take over all of it: future development, visibility, content, ads and reporting — every decision aimed at growing the business.

We deliver all of it ourselves — no hand-offs to someone you’ve never met. And if another agency would genuinely suit you better, we’ll tell you and recommend one we trust.

In it for the long run

Our longest client has been with us for over a decade.

A Northern Ireland borough council has relied on us for development for more than ten years. Retainers work best as long-term relationships: the longer we work with a business, the more we know about what moves its numbers.
