SEOJack vs Traditional Web Agency
Full-service agency build at a project price
A traditional agency build can be the right choice for complex, bespoke requirements. SEOJack starts at £89 GBP/month for an agreed base website, with the first month paid to start. Extra services cost more and are agreed separately.
£89 GBP to get started covers your first month. Then £89 GBP/month. No separate build fee for the base website. Chatbots, automations and other services outside the base website scope cost extra when requested. All additional charges are quoted and agreed with you first.

Where Traditional Web Agency wins
- Complex custom functionality — bespoke booking systems, client portals, custom database integration — agencies have the development depth.
- If your brand requires genuinely bespoke design, a mid-to-large agency with a strong creative team can produce something SEOJack doesn't attempt.
- For large organisations with procurement processes and the budget to match, a proper agency engagement is appropriate.
Where SEOJack wins
- Most small businesses do not need custom functionality. A clear, fast, SEO-ready site serves 90% of them better than a bespoke one — at a fraction of the cost.
- 6–16 weeks is a long time to wait for a website. A lot can change. SEOJack gets you a first preview within 24–48 hours and most sites live in under a week.
- Agency support contracts are often expensive and slow. A question about your site becomes a ticket. With SEOJack, it's a message.
- The total cost of an agency build — deposit, annual hosting, edit rate, support contract — often exceeds £10,000 over three years. SEOJack base subscription fees total £3,204 GBP over three years; optional services and agreed third-party costs are extra.
When you should pick Traditional Web Agency
Your project requires genuinely custom development — a client portal, complex integrations, a booking system built from scratch, or enterprise-level bespoke requirements. Or your budget and brand position demands a top-tier agency build.
