Main services and starting prices
These are current guide prices. The details below explain the usual range and what can affect the final fixed price.
Free online business check
Free
Limited availability for accepted suitable requests
Free – limited availability
Free online business check
A quick 30 to 45 minute check of the public information customers see when they search for the business. I call this a Local Visibility Snapshot. It provides useful observations and sensible next steps.
Every request is reviewed for local suitability and availability. Submission does not guarantee an accepted free place.
It does not include a full audit, detailed action plan, implementation or repeated free advice.
Typical price £245-£395
Online Presence Audit
For a business that needs a deeper diagnosis before deciding what to change. It may review the website, Google Business Profile, local visibility, relevant competitors and enquiry routes.
You receive prioritised findings and a practical action plan, with a short findings call or meeting where that is included in the agreed work.
The audit identifies and prioritises work. It does not include implementing the recommendations.
Typical price £225-£395
Google Business Profile Setup and Optimisation
Straightforward setup or improvement may cover the agreed business information, categories, services, service areas, description, hours, contact routes and review link.
Suspension recovery, ownership disputes, difficult verification and ongoing posting are not included automatically. Google controls eligibility, verification and search results.
Typical price £595-£995
Foundation – Get Found
Foundation brings together agreed essentials where several parts of the online presence need attention. It may include Profile improvement, selected business listings, review setup, Business WhatsApp, a Facebook Page or enquiry-route improvements.
Every proposal lists the exact tasks and platforms included. A new website, broad social-media management, paid advertising and ongoing weekly content are not included automatically.
Typical price £995-£2,495
Local Business Websites
Focused Local Business Website
£995-£1,495
Normally four or five straightforward pages for a business with usable information, photographs and most source content.
Standard Growth Website
£1,495-£2,495
For additional service pages, stronger content planning, more copy support or agreed extra functionality.
Ecommerce, booking systems, complex integrations, professional photography, extensive copywriting, unlimited revisions, ongoing maintenance, hosting, domains and third-party subscriptions are not included unless the proposal says otherwise.
Ongoing Care
Care is for businesses that want defined support after the initial work. It is never unlimited support, and every agreement states what is included.
Website Care
£59-£99 per month
Includes routine WordPress, theme and plugin updates, along with agreed backup, uptime, security and form checks. One small website-support request may also be included each month.
The exact included tasks and support limits are written into the care agreement. Hosting, licences, domain administration and content changes are included only where stated.
Visibility Care
£149-£249 per month
Includes a monthly Google Business Profile review, one agreed post or update, a review-route check and one small visibility-improvement request.
The exact platforms, frequency and support limits are written into the care agreement. It does not mean continuous monitoring, unlimited posts or guaranteed visibility.
Combined Website and Visibility Care
£199-£329 per month
Includes the agreed Website Care and Visibility Care routines, with one shared small support or improvement request each month.
The exact tasks, frequency and support limits are written into the care agreement. Larger or additional work is agreed and priced separately.

What can change the final price?
Discovery is used to understand these factors. It is not permission to add unapproved charges.
- What is already in place and its condition
- The amount and quality of usable information, content and imagery
- The number of pages, services, profiles or platforms involved
- Access, ownership, verification or recovery problems
- Content planning, copy support or technical functionality
- Third-party products or services needed for the agreed work
- Unusual travel or in-person requirements outside the expected local area
- Work requested after the original plan is accepted
The proposal states the included work and fixed price before the project begins.
Payments, additional costs and support
Payment stages and additional costs are agreed before work begins rather than added silently later.
Ember Harbour is not currently VAT registered, so VAT is not added to the prices shown.
- Normal one-off projects require 50% before booking or starting
- The remaining 50% must clear before launch, transfer or final handover
- Recurring services are paid monthly in advance
- Approved third-party costs are identified and paid in advance
- Work outside the accepted plan requires written approval and an additional price
- Normal settling-in support lasts 30 days unless the proposal says otherwise
- Settling-in support does not include new features or unlimited technical support
- Unusual travel requirements may be priced separately and agreed in advance
