How much does local SEO cost?
Most UK agencies charge £500–£1,500+ per month. Digistruct is one package at £500/month (6-month minimum) or £4,000/year: website, SEO, and AI search included.
What UK agencies usually charge
Short answer: Expect roughly £500–£1,500+ per month for “local SEO”, often with long contracts, junior account managers, and dashboards instead of calls.
Website rebuilds are frequently billed separately. AI / GEO work is sometimes an upsell. Ranking guarantees are a red flag. Nobody controls Google honestly.
Cheap retainers under ~£250/month rarely cover proper profile work, content, and reporting for a competitive sector in Cheshire.
What Digistruct charges
Short answer: One package: £500/month with a 6-month minimum, or £4,000/year. Includes conversion website, local SEO, Google Business Profile, and AI search visibility, no SEO-only or website-only tier.
Full breakdown on the pricing page. Enquiries go to the number or channel of your choice. I do not resell leads.
When is it worth paying?
Short answer: When one extra booking a month covers the fee: windows, plumbing, clinics, and repair shops often clear that bar if Google is currently sending work to competitors.
If referrals already fill the diary and you cannot take more work, SEO is the wrong spend. If your site and profile are broken, fixing them usually pays faster than ads alone.

What the money should buy
Short answer: Not vanity traffic: map-pack and local rankings for enquiries you want, a site that converts, reviews, and a plain-English monthly report.

FAQ
Quick answers.
Is there a cheaper SEO-only option?
No. Digistruct is one package because SEO on a site that cannot convert wastes money. Price is £500/month or £4,000/year. See pricing.
Do you lock me into a year?
Monthly is a 6-month minimum, then month’s notice. Yearly is paid upfront. You keep the site, domain, and profile either way.
