What the check looks at

Fifteen questions to work through.

Tick the checks your site meets. The report scores your answers and suggests actions for the remaining checks; it does not measure your site automatically.

  • Speed

    Mobile load time, image weight, render-blocking scripts. Consider how quickly your main pages load on mobile.

  • Mobile

    Tap targets, layout shifts, readable text, a phone number you can actually press.

  • Local search

    Business profile, NAP consistency, location pages, schema. Check how clearly you explain the areas you serve.

  • Trust

    Reviews, real photos, named people, clear pricing signals. What makes a stranger believe you.

  • Enquiry path

    How many steps from landing to contacting you, and what gets in the way.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a website cost? +
A small business website typically costs £1,500–£4,500 one-off for a 4–8 page site on a known platform. The price depends on content, functionality, integrations and the agreed scope. See our website cost calculator.
How long until SEO works? +
There is no fixed SEO timetable. It depends on the starting point, eligibility, competition, demand, implementation and authority. We set a baseline, track impressions, qualified visits and enquiries, and report progress without guaranteeing a date or ranking.
Do you work with my industry? +
We work with most UK small and medium service businesses, trades, professional services, agencies, local retail, and B2B. Specifically not regulated finance or pharma, which need specialist compliance.
Will I have to sign a long contract? +
No long lock-ins. Project work is paid in stages. Retainers are month-to-month with 30 days notice.
Are you a big agency? +
No. Website Growth Check is run by Keiron in the UK. The person named on the audit is the person who reviews the site and scopes any follow-on work.
Why is the audit free? +
It helps both sides understand the evidence before committing. Some audits identify fixes you can make without hiring us, and that is a useful outcome too.
Will my site still work if I leave you? +
Yes. We don't hold your domain hostage, your CMS access is yours, and we hand over everything at the end of any engagement. Read our about page on this.
Do you do Google Ads as well as SEO? +
Yes, both. The right channel depends on your industry, urgency and budget. We'll tell you honestly which is the better fit for your situation.
