Pricing and Scope of Work

Clarifying the budget, workload, and investment needed for meaningful results.

Why My Approach is Different

Many businesses pay upfront for a website, only to find that it quickly becomes outdated, underperforming, or poorly optimized for their needs. Even with low hosting fees (as little as £20/month), this approach often overlooks the ongoing effort required to keep a website competitive in today’s digital landscape.

The Traditional Model:

  • Pay £5,000–£20,000 or more upfront for a basic eCommerce website build.
  • Rely on infrequent updates, leaving your site stagnant and vulnerable to competitors.
  • Spend additional money hiring SEO agencies or developers to fix issues later.

My Model:

  • No upfront cost for the website build: Instead of a large one-time fee, I work on a monthly retainer that allows me to continuously build, optimize, and adapt your website to meet your business goals.
  • Continuous Optimization: From SEO to product updates, your website evolves alongside your needs, ensuring it stays competitive.
  • Tailored Support: With a focus on your unique challenges, I provide hands-on support to ensure your website is always performing at its best.

Flexible Retainer Model: The monthly retainer starts at £2,000 but can increase based on the complexity of your website and evolving business needs. This ensures you only pay for the level of support and development required to achieve your goals.

The Current Situation

Linstead Garden Machinery’s website has immense potential, but with thousands of products across multiple brands, the scope of work required to make an impact is significant. The current budget of £1,000/month is a starting point, but to truly deliver measurable results, we need to address the scale of the project.

Scope of Work

To give a clearer picture, here’s what’s involved:

  • Product Catalog Expansion: Scraping, cleaning, and importing thousands of products across major brands like Stihl, Mountfield, and Polaris.
  • SEO Optimization: Optimizing every product page with keywords, meta descriptions, and alt text to improve search engine rankings.
  • Website Structure: Organizing products into clear categories and filters for a seamless user experience.
  • Local SEO: Creating content and landing pages to target customers in Suffolk and East Anglia.
  • Performance Monitoring: Regular tracking and adjustments to ensure consistent growth and visibility.

Why £2,000/Month is the Minimum

Given the size of the project and the workload involved, a £2,000/month budget allows for:

  • Dedicated time to handle the large volume of products effectively.
  • More hours to focus on SEO, scraping, and website improvements.
  • Faster progress to ensure the website is ready for peak selling periods.

At £1,000/month, the work would progress slowly, limiting the immediate impact. For meaningful results, especially with thousands of products, doubling the budget ensures we can deliver measurable growth in a reasonable timeframe.

Proving Value in the First 3 Months

  • Scraping and importing high-priority products to expand the catalogue quickly.
  • Targeted SEO optimization to drive traffic and improve rankings.
  • Tracking performance metrics to show clear progress and ROI.

By the end of this period, you’ll see tangible improvements in website performance, setting the stage for continued growth.

How I Save You Time and Money

When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a single specialist—you’re gaining a versatile partner with expertise across web development, SEO, automation, and strategic business solutions. Here’s how I help your business save both time and money:

  • Web Development: I design, develop, and continuously manage your website, eliminating the need for a dedicated developer.
  • SEO Expertise: I optimize your website to rank higher on search engines, driving organic traffic without the need for costly SEO agencies.
  • Data and Automation: My advanced scraping tools handle thousands of products efficiently, replacing the need for manual data entry and saving you weeks—or even months—of effort.
  • Strategic Business Advice: With over a decade of entrepreneurial experience, I provide tailored insights and solutions to help your business grow.

Manual vs. Automated Product Entry

Manually adding products to a website is time-intensive, often taking 15–30 minutes per product. Tasks include:

  • Writing detailed descriptions
  • Uploading and formatting images
  • Creating accurate SKUs
  • Organizing products into categories

For a catalog of 2,000 products, this process would require 500–1,000 hours of work—equivalent to 3–6 months of full-time effort for a single employee. Using my scraping and automation tools, I can complete this work in a fraction of the time while maintaining accuracy and consistency.

Team vs. Me: The Cost Breakdown

To achieve the same level of expertise with a team, you’d typically need to hire:

  • A Full-Time Web Developer: £45,000–£70,000/year
  • An SEO Agency: £1,500–£6,000/month
  • A Data Entry Specialist: £30,000 – £60,000/year
  • A Business Consultant: £150/hour or more

By working with me, you’re gaining access to all these skills in one comprehensive package—at a fraction of the cost. You’ll benefit from a streamlined, results-driven approach that combines expertise, innovation, and efficiency.
