Common questions
Answers before you ask
You won't need to touch a line of code. We hand over your site with a short Loom video walkthrough showing you exactly how to update your phone number, photos, or text. Most clients never need to log in at all — that's what your Growth Retainer is for.
Yes, and faster than you'd expect. Every HiveForge site includes local SEO schema markup, Core Web Vitals optimisation, and a Google Business Profile setup. Growth and Full Retainer clients also get regular SEO blog posts targeting your trade + area — so Google keeps finding you month after month.
The Core Website includes one round of revisions. For ongoing changes — seasonal offers, new services, updated photos — the Growth Retainer covers unlimited small updates. Larger redesigns are quoted separately at a fair hourly rate.
One extra job from your website pays for 3–6 months of the Growth Retainer. Most clients see 5–15 additional enquiries per month within 60 days. If it's not working, you can cancel with 30 days' notice — no lock-in contracts.
Most agencies take 6–12 weeks and charge £3,000–£10,000 for a similar result. HiveForge uses AI-assisted builds and a trades-specific template system to go live in 48 hours at a fraction of the cost — without cutting corners on quality or SEO.
We specialise in South West UK trades: plumbers, electricians, gas engineers, builders, roofers, landscapers, painters & decorators, and HVAC engineers. If you work with your hands and need more customers, we can help.
