Most startups cannot justify hiring a marketer, a developer and an SEO. So the website sits untouched, the social goes quiet by week three and nobody ever gets round to Google. This is all of it, handled, for £350 a month. You get on with building the business. We keep the marketing running.

Everything in, nothing extra

What £350 a month actually buys

Not a retainer that buys you a few hours and an audit. Eight distinct jobs, delivered every month, by us. Here is the whole list with nothing held back for an upsell.

01

Website management

Any change to your site, any ongoing work on it, done by us. New page, new copy, a section rebuilt, something broken fixed. You do not touch it and you do not pay a developer by the hour on top.

02

A full local SEO campaign

Not a few keywords bolted on. Landing pages, service pages, supporting guides and a proper internal structure built so Google understands what you do and where you do it.

03

An AI optimisation campaign

People now ask AI assistants who to use. We structure your content and data so those tools can read your business and put you in the answer. New front door, very few startups on it yet.

04

Two posts a week on Facebook

Written, scheduled and posted. Keeps you visible locally and keeps the page from looking abandoned, which is what most startup pages look like by month two.

05

Two posts a week on Instagram

The visual side of the business kept ticking, so a founder is never sat there at 11pm wondering what to post.

06

Two posts a week on LinkedIn

Aimed at the B2B and referral side, where investors, partners and business customers are actually looking. For a lot of startups this is the channel that matters most.

07

Full Google Business Profile management

Set up, optimised and worked on continuously, not claimed once and forgotten. The map pack sits above the normal results and for a new business it is often the first place anyone finds you.

08

Monthly reporting

What we did, what moved and what is next. Written so you can forward it to a co-founder or an investor without translating it first.

Break it down

What that works out at

Same fee, four different ways of looking at it. Every figure below is just £350 divided by what you actually get.

0
per service, per month, across the eight things included
0
a week for the whole lot
0
social posts a month, written and published for you
0
a day, which is less than lunch

Put it another way. If the entire £350 went on social media and nothing else, you would be paying £13.46 a post. The website management, the local SEO campaign, the AI optimisation, the Google Business Profile and the reporting would all be free.

One plan, everything handled

How each part works

Tap through to see what each part actually does for a startup plus why leaving any of them out tends to cost more than including them.

Website management

The one most startups underestimate. Your site is not left alone between projects. Pages built and updated, copy changed when the offer changes, speed watched and clear calls to action put where they convert. No hourly developer bill and no waiting three weeks for a text change.

Local SEO

The compounding part. We build your site around the searches that bring enquiries, so when someone nearby looks for what you do you are one of the names they see. It takes months to build, which is exactly why starting early is the advantage a startup actually has.

Google Business Profile

The map pack sits above the normal results. For a business nobody has heard of yet, it is often the very first place you get found. We set it up, optimise it and keep working on it rather than claiming it once and leaving it.

AI optimisation

More people now ask an AI assistant who to use instead of scrolling Google. We structure your content and data so those tools can read your business and recommend it. Almost no startups are doing this yet, which is precisely why it is worth doing now.

Facebook

Two posts a week, written and scheduled. Local reach, a page that looks alive and a reason for people who already know you to remember you exist.

Instagram

Two posts a week showing the build, the product and the people. Startups have the best story to tell and almost never the time to tell it. We tell it for you.

LinkedIn

Two posts a week aimed at the professional side, where partners, investors and B2B customers look. For a lot of startups this is where the first real deals come from.

How it works

Four steps, then we keep going

STEP 01

We learn the business

What you sell, who buys it and what they type into Google. For a startup this matters more than for anyone, because there is no history to work from.

STEP 02

We build the foundations

Website sorted, structure right, Google Business Profile live and the first content going up. Get this wrong at month one and it is expensive to unpick later.

STEP 03

We switch everything on

Local SEO campaign running, AI optimisation applied and six posts a week going out across Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.

STEP 04

We keep at it

An update every three weeks, a full audit every quarter and monthly reporting. SEO pays the people who do not stop at month four.

Worth a look

What would it take to cover the fee

Drag the sliders to your own numbers. For most startups the fee is covered by a very small number of customers a month. This is a rough illustration to think with, not a promise of results.

The alternatives

The three ways startups usually do this

Piece it together

  • An SEO, a social freelancer and a developer, all billed separately
  • Three invoices, three schedules, nobody joining it up
  • Website changes charged by the hour on top
  • You end up project managing all of it

The founder does it

  • Free, until you count your own time
  • Social goes quiet by week three, every time
  • The site never gets updated because it is never urgent
  • Time you should be spending on the actual product

One plan with Lillian Purge

  • All eight jobs on one fee, one invoice
  • Website changes included, not billed by the hour
  • Twenty six social posts a month, done without you
  • You get your evenings back
Simple pricing

One clear monthly fee

No setup fee, nothing billed separately and no surprise invoice when you ask for a change to the website.

Frequently asked

SEO for startups, answered

What exactly do I get for £350 a month?
Eight things, every month. Full website management so any change or ongoing work on your site is done by us. A full local SEO campaign. An AI optimisation campaign so AI assistants can find and recommend you. Two posts a week on Facebook, two on Instagram and two on LinkedIn, which is twenty six posts a month. Full management of your Google Business Profile. And monthly reporting so you can see what is happening. One fee, no setup charge and nothing billed separately.
Why is £350 a month good value for a startup?
Because it is eight jobs on one invoice. Split across those eight services it works out at £43.75 each per month. Looked at another way it is £80.77 a week or about £11.50 a day. The social alone is twenty six posts a month, so even if the entire fee went on social and nothing else it would be £13.46 a post. You would still be getting the SEO, the website work, the Google Business Profile and the reporting on top. Worth comparing against what SEO agencies typically charge before you decide.
Do I need a separate web developer as well?
No. Website management is included. That means any change or ongoing work on the site is done by us. New page, copy change, a section that needs rebuilding, a form that stopped working, all of it. You are not paying a developer by the hour on top and you are not waiting in someone's queue. That alone is a large part of why the fee works for a startup.
Is there a contract or a setup fee?
There is no setup fee. You pay one clear monthly retainer and that is the whole cost. We work on twelve month terms because SEO needs time to compound and neither of us benefits from stopping at month four, just as the results start arriving. What we will not do is charge you a large upfront fee before any work has happened, which matters when you are watching cash. What a retainer should include is worth reading before you sign with anyone.
How long before a startup sees results from SEO?
SEO is a build, not a switch. Your Google Business Profile and quieter local terms can move in the early weeks. The more competitive searches usually take a few months of steady work to climb and hold. A brand new domain takes longer than an established one. We will not promise page one by a certain date, because no one can say for sure. The social and the website work start delivering visibility straight away while the SEO compounds underneath.
We are pre-revenue. Is this too early for us?
It depends on whether you have something to sell yet. If you do, starting early is an advantage, because SEO rewards time in the market and a domain that has been building for a year beats one starting from scratch. If you are still pre-product, the website and social side will keep you visible while you get there. The SEO spend is better held until you have a proposition worth ranking. We will tell you straight which of those you are.
