FAQ
Straight answers
How much does a small business website cost in the UK?
At Socialcave a fixed-price website starts from £199 for three pages, or comes included in the Get Booked bundle at £399 a month with hosting, care, online booking and Google Business Profile optimisation. Typical UK small-agency builds cost £2,500 to £6,000.
Do I own my website and accounts?
Yes. Your domain, website, Google Business Profile and ad accounts are registered to you. If you leave, everything stays with you.
Is there a long contract?
No. There is no minimum term. Every bundle rolls monthly and you can cancel with 30 days' notice.
How can you charge less than other agencies?
We start every client from a proven industry kit instead of a blank page, our team works across our Oxford and Pune offices, and you pay for one bundle rather than a separate retainer for each channel. The work is the same quality; we just spend less time reinventing it.
What is AI search visibility?
It is the work that helps ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini find, trust and name your business when customers ask for recommendations: structured data, answer-first content, consistent listings and reviews.
Which industries do you work with?
Mostly UK small and medium businesses in mobile and tech repair, restaurants and takeaways, gyms and fitness, taxi and chauffeur services, and independent retail.
