Local Boom Web Design & SEO Reviews 

Written by the company

Local Boom Web Design & SEO builds websites and local SEO campaigns for small businesses across Devon. The agency was founded by Ed Meredith-Yates. We cover Torquay, Paignton, Brixham, Newton Abbot, Exeter, Exmouth, Teignmouth, Dawlish, Bovey Tracey, Totnes, Ivybridge, Plymouth, Tiverton, Okehampton, Barnstaple and the wider Torbay area. What we do differently Most web designers charge £2,000 to £3,000 upfront for a basic business website. We design the website for free and charge an affordable monthly fee for hosting and support instead. The design cost is spread across your hosting rather than landing as one big bill at the start. There is no catch, and we would rather explain it than have you guess. Hosting is what pays for the build. There is no tie-in, and you can cancel at any time. After 12 months of hosting payments the build is paid off, and the website is fully yours to keep or take elsewhere. If you cancel earlier you can settle the remaining balance whenever you like and take the site with you the same day. Our packages Local Starter, £25 a month. Free website design, hosting, and two to three edits a month on your existing pages, completed within 7 days. Local Growth, £75 a month. Everything in Starter plus one brand new page added every month, so the site grows with the business. Local Boost, £300 a month. Local SEO. Google Business Profile optimisation, keyword research, local citations, backlinks, new content pages, a contact form and quarterly strategy meetings. Local Pro, £750 a month. Everything in Boost plus PR links, sponsorships and partnerships, review generation, conversion rate optimisation and monthly strategy meetings. Bespoke builds, including WordPress, are quoted per project. What every free website includes Home, about, services and contact pages. SSL, cookie policy, privacy policy and consent banner. A proper SEO structure with correct headings and meta tags. Copy written by us from your questionnaire answers. A simple logo if you do not have one. Clear calls to action and your reviews on display. Every site is built from scratch on Astro, so pages load fast on mobile, where over 60% of local searches happen. How it works It starts with a discovery call. You leave that call knowing exactly what it costs and what happens next, not waiting on a vague follow up. If you go ahead, we send your invoice and questionnaire together. You send your brief and at least 10 photos of your work, team or premises. Your build is then queued with a guaranteed 2 to 4 week go live window. We show you the finished site on a staging link, you get a round of revisions, and nothing goes live until you say you are happy with it. SEO clients start with a full audit covering on-page, technical, off-page and competitor analysis. The strategy comes from that audit, so no two clients get the same plan. You get a short monthly report in plain English: what we did, what happened, what is next. What we promise and what we do not We do not guarantee rankings. No honest agency can. What we do guarantee for SEO clients is this: if your enquiries have not increased within 90 days, we keep working for free until they do. Your monthly price is also locked for life once you sign up, even when prices rise for new customers. Who we are Ed spent years as Search Manager at one of Devon's largest digital agencies before starting Local Boom. He also built two of his own businesses to six figures through organic search, without spending anything on ads. That search background is what sits underneath the free website offer. Plenty of providers give a website away. Fewer build it on real SEO foundations. We do two things and nothing else: websites and local SEO. No social media management, no paid ads, no e-commerce.
