What Other Agencies Give You
Everyone says the same words. Website. SEO. Content. Reporting. Here is what is underneath them.
This is not a claim that every agency at half our price is bad. It is a list of the specific things that are usually missing at that price, because at $1,500 a month the maths only works if most of this does not happen.
Take it to whoever you are talking to and ask them line by line. If they answer the same way we do, hire them. That is a better outcome than hiring us for the wrong reason.
| The work | The $1,500/mo agency | WeUp |
|---|---|---|
| Website | Not included, or charged for separately on top | Full 10 to 25 page build in month one, and you own it |
| Your existing site | Left alone, problems and all | Cleaned out page by page before anything else starts |
| Blog content | 1 to 2 posts a month, usually outsourced overseas | 8+ articles a month, written in house |
| Service pages | Built once, then never touched again | Re-optimized every month with fresh competitor research |
| City pages | None, or the same page with the town swapped out | Original pages with their own angle for the towns you serve |
| Google Business Profile | Set up once at signup | Weekly posts, ongoing optimization, competitor research |
| Business listings | Submitted once and forgotten | Checked and maintained every month |
| Backlinks | Rarely, or directory spam | Real editorial links, built once your site is ready for them |
| AI search | They have not adapted, or they charge extra for it | Built in |
| Reporting | A PDF you do not understand | A live dashboard you can open any day |
| Your contact | A ticket queue | A named specialist and support you can call or message |
| Guarantee | None | Ranked in six months or we work free |
| Contract | 6 to 12 months | None. Month to month |
| If you leave | You lose the site and the content | You keep every bit of it |

If you only check three of those lines
Ask who owns the website
Not who built it. Who owns the domain, the login and the platform it sits on. If the answer is the agency, then everything you pay for over the next two years is being built on land you are renting. Ours is yours from day one, and you can revoke our access any day of the week.
Ask how many articles a month, and who writes them
One or two a month written overseas is the standard answer at half our price. We write eight or more in house, every month. Content is the slowest and most expensive part of this, which makes it the first thing that quietly gets cut.
Ask what happens if you do not rank
Almost every answer to that question is a version of nothing. Ours is that we keep working at no charge until you do. The terms are on the guarantee page, including the four things we ask of you in return.
Take this list to whoever you are talking to.
If they answer the way we do, hire them. If they do not, call us and we will tell you whether your market is still open.
No contract. Cancel anytime. You own everything.
