Question 1

Do you work with early-stage startups?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes. If you're pre-revenue or pre-product-market fit, we're probably not the right partner yet. We work best with businesses that have some traction, a clear offer and budget to invest in growth. If you're spending £3–5k+/month on marketing already (or planning to), let's talk.

Question 2

Do you white-label for other agencies?

Accepted Answer

No. We occasionally partner with agencies on specific technical projects, but we don't do white-label work. We're designed to work directly with businesses, not through intermediaries.

Question 3

How quickly can we start?

Accepted Answer

Usually 1–2 weeks from decision to kick-off, depending on onboarding requirements and our current capacity. If you need something faster, tell us – we'll see what we can do.

Question 4

What does onboarding look like?

Accepted Answer

We start with a structured onboarding process: access setup (analytics, ad accounts, CMS), stakeholder interviews, competitive and keyword research, baseline benchmarking, and a 90-day roadmap. This usually takes 1–2 weeks before active execution starts.

Question 5

Do you sign NDAs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you need one. We treat all client data and strategy as confidential by default, but we're happy to formalise it.

Question 6

What if we already have an in-house marketing team?

Accepted Answer

We work alongside in-house teams all the time. We can own execution on specific channels (SEO, paid, web) while your team handles brand, content or product marketing. We're not precious about who does what – just about clarity and results.

Question 7

How much does it cost to work with Avorria?

Accepted Answer

It depends on scope and engagement model. Most clients land in £3–10k/month for retainers (SEO, paid media, or integrated growth), or £10–50k for one-off projects (website rebuilds, funnel builds, migrations). Use our project estimator or book a call for a realistic range.

Question 8

Do you have minimum budgets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For retainers, we typically work with businesses investing at least £3k/month in marketing. For one-off projects, minimum engagement is usually around £10k. Below that, the economics don't work for either of us.

Question 9

Do you charge separately for ad spend?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our fees cover strategy, execution and management. Media spend (what you pay Google, Meta, LinkedIn) is separate and billed directly by the platforms.

Question 10

What's the contract length?

Accepted Answer

For retainers, we prefer 6-month initial commitments with 30-day rolling after that. This gives us time to execute properly without locking you into years of obligation. One-off projects are milestone-based with no ongoing commitment.

Question 11

Do you offer payment plans?

Accepted Answer

For larger one-off projects, yes – usually split across key milestones (e.g., 50% upfront, 50% on completion). For retainers, payment is monthly in advance.

Question 12

How long does SEO take to show results?

Accepted Answer

Honest answer: 3–6 months for meaningful movement, 6–12 months for compounding results. Anyone promising page-one rankings in 30 days is lying or targeting irrelevant keywords. SEO is a medium-term play, not a quick win.

Question 13

Do you guarantee rankings?

Accepted Answer

No. Anyone who does is either targeting useless keywords or doesn't understand how search engines work. We guarantee a disciplined process, clear reporting and prioritised actions. Rankings follow when the work is right.

Question 14

What's the difference between SEO and paid search?

Accepted Answer

SEO is organic (unpaid) visibility that compounds over time. Paid search (Google Ads) is instant visibility you pay for per click. SEO takes longer but costs less over time. Paid is faster but stops when you stop paying. Most businesses need both.

Question 15

Can you help if we've been penalised by Google?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the penalty. If it's manual (you'll see a notification in Search Console), we can review, fix and submit a reconsideration request. If it's algorithmic (e.g., from thin content or bad links), we can diagnose and fix, but recovery takes time.

Question 16

Do you do link building?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but not the spammy kind. We focus on editorial links, digital PR and strategic partnerships – not bulk directory submissions or PBN nonsense. Link building is one part of a broader SEO strategy, not the whole thing.

Question 17

Do you build websites from scratch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We design and build high-converting websites on modern platforms (Webflow, WordPress, Shopify, or custom if needed). We focus on sites that look premium and convert hard – not just portfolio pieces.

Question 18

Can you redesign our existing site without starting over?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes. If the underlying structure is salvageable, we can refresh design and optimise conversions without a full rebuild. If the foundation is broken (slow, outdated CMS, poor architecture), starting fresh is often faster and cheaper.

Question 19

What platforms do you work with?

Accepted Answer

Most commonly: Webflow (our preference for marketing sites), WordPress, Shopify (for e-commerce), and custom builds where needed. We're platform-agnostic – we pick based on your needs, not our preferences.

Question 20

How long does a website project take?

Accepted Answer

Depends on scope. A focused rebuild or new site is usually 6–12 weeks from kick-off to launch. Complex sites with custom functionality, integrations or heavy content can take 3–4 months.

Question 21

Do you provide ongoing website support after launch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer retainer-based support for updates, optimisation and maintenance, or ad-hoc hourly support if you only need occasional help.

Question 22

What tools do you use for reporting?

Accepted Answer

We're tool-agnostic. We work with GA4, Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, LinkedIn Campaign Manager, and can integrate with CRMs like HubSpot or Salesforce. What matters is that the data is accurate and the reporting is clear.

Question 23

Can you integrate with our CRM?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. We regularly connect marketing activity to CRMs like HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive to track leads, pipeline and revenue attribution.

Question 24

Can we customise the dashboard?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. There's a core structure we know works, but we'll adapt it to your business model, sales process and internal reporting rhythm.

Question 25

Do we still get human explanation or just a dashboard link?

Accepted Answer

You get both. The dashboard is the truth; the written summary and calls are where we translate that into decisions.

Question 26

How often do we get reports?

Accepted Answer

Weekly snapshots (key movements, fires to put out), monthly deep-dives (full channel performance and decisions), and quarterly strategy reviews (bigger-picture planning).
