FAQ

Questions from Northumberland businesses

Do you work with businesses in Northumberland?

Yes. Our office is in Sydney, Australia, and we work with clients in the UK remotely, by email. You get the same fixed prices, the same team and the same process as our local clients.

How does it work with the time difference?

Everything runs by email, so there are no calls to schedule. Send us your details and feedback whenever it suits you, and we often finish your changes while you sleep.

Can you help us show up when people search in Northumberland?

Yes. Every website includes on-page SEO and LocalBusiness schema. With our SEO add-on we target searches like “cafe in Alnwick” or “plumber Hexham”, optimise your Google Business Profile and track your rankings and AI mentions each month.

What currency are your prices in?

Pounds sterling. Our prices for UK businesses are fixed in GBP, so there are no exchange-rate surprises. Your quote shows the exact amount before any work starts.

Do you need to visit us in person?

No. Our quote form and a few emails cover everything we need: your services, photos, opening hours and the areas you cover. If you don't have good photos, we'll help you choose the right ones.
