Free Intent Mapping!!

Or if your pushed for time there's a managed version too 🤓

Taking your content to new levels requires a focus on your sites intent within the context of your products/services and more generally your blog or perhaps what was designed for 'informational' content.

Why is 'informational' a danger area all of a sudden - well it has become less meaningful - and if you do have informational pages that ABSOLUTELY MUST be linked to your trust signals - which authorities and accreditations, awards or accomplishments make you a valuable source of information.

The reason it has become less meaningful is because information is now so readily available - through search, through AI and just gaining a citation on information simply isn't enough.

Make a start and start understanding where your content is lacking - from your clients/customers perspective...

I'm a freelancer that chooses to support small business... this is not my level - it is my propensity to allow freelance access and support to smaller businesses - my stomping ground is mid-market commercial sites who have extremely high online competition.

However, the majority of small business tend to turn to a freelancer when trouble starts happening - when they are essentially being blackmailed by a host - ie you can leave but can't have your webfiles - or we need to charge you thousands for increased hosting/new site/ technical expertise...

Don't leave it to that point - make a positive step now - the Ai web builders are getting more advanced - but if cost is a particular criteria then I can offer ai assisted code builds.... or fully fledged WordPress websites - Here's a summary of what you get:

Managed Website vs DIY Website Builders
(Save this if you’re pricing up a website 👇)

Managed small business websites: £1,600–£2,400

DESIGN & BRAND
✅ Managed: 3 distinct design directions presented upfront
❌ DIY: One template chosen under pressure

✅ Managed: You only move forward once you’re happy
❌ DIY: You’re expected to “make it work”

✅ Managed: Designs refined to your preferences, brand & goals
❌ DIY: Tweaks limited by the builder

BRANDING DETAILS
✅ Managed: Logos refined and applied correctly
❌ DIY: Stretched, squashed or misused logos

✅ Managed: SVGs for crisp scaling + proper icons (SVG / ICO)
❌ DIY: Blurry raster images and default icons

✅ Managed: Brand templates created for consistency
❌ DIY: Fonts and colours drift over time

BUILD & CONTROL
✅ Managed: Clear stages and sign-off
❌ DIY: Endless tinkering

✅ Managed: Design, build & structure aligned
❌ DIY: Design and structure fight each other

✅ Managed: One accountable owner
❌ DIY: Multiple tools, no ownership

✅ Managed: 6 months Free Hosting then £150 per 6months
❌ DIY: Depends usually starts from £25pm

SEO & REALITY
✅ Managed: Base-level SEO baked in from day one
❌ DIY: SEO added later (if ever)

✅ Managed: Updates, fixes and platform quirks handled
❌ DIY: You Google at midnight

✅ Managed: Small business packages from £250 per month - no tie-ins - instant ID of the Right 'to-do's' and DONE!
❌ DIY: Lots of checklists, some offer automated updates, often resulting in short boosts of success and longterm major SEO issues

A quick reality check:
If you’re a start-up or working with a very small budget, a DIY website builder is often the right choice. Early-stage businesses need flexibility, experimentation, and low upfront costs — and paying for a fully managed site too soon can become a money drain.

Fully managed websites are best suited to established businesses who want their site to work properly, stay consistent, and not require constant attention. If you’re already trading and value your time, this model removes friction rather than adding cost. It will also level up your SEO and Local SEO as well as make you citation ready!
