At a glance MarketingWithCameron builds any local UK business a free, professional, AEO/SEO-optimised website; hosting, maintenance, security, and ongoing marketing are optional paid add-ons discussed only on your free strategy call.
The Free Website
What's free, and what isn't.
Is the website really free?
Yes — we build your professional, AEO/SEO-optimised website free of charge, no catch. You only pay if you want us to handle hosting, maintenance, and security, or if you want an ongoing marketing package to actively grow your visibility — and we only go through those options, and what they cost, on your strategy call once we understand what you actually need.
What's included in the free website build?
A custom-designed, mobile-first site built around your business, with SEO and AEO foundations — schema markup, fast loading, correct indexing — built in from day one, not added later. See the full breakdown on the website build service page.
What do the paid options cost?
We don't publish set prices, because hosting and marketing needs vary too much business to business to make a flat number honest. Hosting, maintenance, security, and marketing packages (Google Maps ranking, local SEO, AEO, automation) are all optional paid add-ons — we go through exactly what applies to you and what it costs on your free strategy call, never before.
Is there a contract?
It depends on the package, which we walk through on your free strategy call. The website build itself comes with no upfront commitment.
Getting Started
Booking, onboarding, and fit.
What happens after I book a free strategy call?
We audit your current online presence — your Google Business Profile, any existing website, and how you currently show up in Google, Maps, and AI search — and then build your free, optimised website around what that audit finds. From there, you decide whether you want us to also handle hosting and ongoing marketing, with no pressure either way.
Do you only work with tradespeople?
No — we work with any local business that wants to grow, not just trades. Plumbers, electricians, and builders are some of our clients, but so are salons, gyms, garages, cleaners, and restaurants. If you're a local business serving local customers, the same approach applies to you.
What makes you different from a normal web design or marketing agency?
Three things: we build the website itself for free rather than charging upfront, we specialise specifically in AEO and SEO rather than treating them as an afterthought, and we use structured data and content systems most local agencies simply don't set up — which is what actually determines whether AI tools and Google Maps recommend you.
How quickly can you start?
We start with the free audit as soon as you book your call, and move into the website build once we have what we need from you — your branding, content, and any existing assets. There's no fixed queue and no long wait to get going.
I've been burned by a marketing agency before — how are you different?
We build the website free before you commit to anything paid, we explain what we're doing and why in plain English rather than vague reports full of vanity metrics, and any ongoing marketing runs on a rolling basis specifically so you're never stuck paying for something that isn't working.
AEO & SEO
Getting found on Google and AI search.
What is AEO, and why does it matter?
Answer Engine Optimization is making sure AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google's AI Overviews recommend your business by name when someone asks a question like 'who's a good electrician near me'. A growing share of local searches now go through an AI answer instead of a list of links — if your business isn't structured and cited correctly, you're invisible in those results even if you rank well on traditional Google.
Do I need a new website, or can you work with what I have?
Either works — tell us what you have and we'll assess it honestly. If your current site is reasonably solid, we may optimise it rather than rebuild. If it's holding you back, the replacement is the same free build everyone gets, so there's no extra cost to weigh up either way.
Reporting & Communication
How you'll know it's working.
How do you report on progress?
For ongoing marketing work, reporting is regular and in plain English — current rankings against your named local competitors, review and citation progress, and where relevant, call and enquiry data. No dashboards full of metrics that don't tie back to real business impact.
Will I have a single point of contact?
Yes — you'll deal directly with the person actually doing the work on your account, not passed between account managers who then relay questions to someone else.
How do I know if it's actually working?
We track ranking position for your specific target searches, Google Business Profile insight data (calls, direction requests, website clicks from your profile), and where set up, call/enquiry tracking — so the reporting ties back to real business impact, not just abstract traffic numbers.
