Question 1

How quickly do you respond to support requests?

Accepted Answer

Response times depend on the support arrangement in place. For retainer clients, response times are agreed in advance. Ad hoc requests are typically responded to within 1–2 working days.

Question 2

Can you support a website you did not build?

Accepted Answer

Yes. An initial review of the site is helpful before support begins, to understand the technology and configuration involved.

Question 3

Is support available for WordPress and other platforms?

Accepted Answer

Primarily WordPress. Support for other platforms depends on the technology involved and is discussed case by case.

Question 4

What is the difference between support and a care plan?

Accepted Answer

A care plan covers scheduled maintenance: updates, backups and monitoring. Support covers reactive help: fixes, changes and one-off tasks. Both can run alongside each other.

Question 5

How long does SEO take to show results?

Accepted Answer

For most West Midlands businesses, meaningful local ranking improvements start appearing within 2 to 5 months depending on location and competition. Birmingham is significantly more competitive than Coventry, Wolverhampton or Solihull, and that affects how long results take to appear and how much sustained work is required. GBP and map visibility often moves faster than organic rankings. Businesses that invest consistently over 12 months see far more durable results than those that treat SEO as a one-time project.

Question 6

Do I need a new website to improve my SEO?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what is there. A site that is technically sound and gives you control over the elements that matter can be optimised without rebuilding. A site with deep speed problems, restrictive architecture or limited technical control is often more practical to rebuild than to patch. I'll assess your specific site and give you a direct answer rather than a default recommendation either way.

Question 7

What is structured data and does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Structured data is code that tells search engines explicitly what your business is, where you operate and what you offer, in a standardised format they can read with confidence. Rather than Google inferring this from your page text, you are providing it directly. For local businesses across the West Midlands, it contributes to how accurately your business appears in local knowledge panels, map results and enhanced search features. It is part of the technical setup on every project I work on.

Question 8

How much does SEO cost?

Accepted Answer

Ongoing local SEO for a West Midlands business typically starts from around £250 to £600 per month, with the specific cost depending on location, competition level and scope of work. Birmingham and other high-competition locations require more sustained work than smaller towns and cost more accordingly. I give a fixed monthly cost and a clear description of the work before anything starts.

Question 9

Do you work with businesses across the West Midlands remotely?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I'm based in Telford and work with businesses across the West Midlands remotely as standard. For local clients who would find an in-person meeting useful at any point, that can be arranged. Everything is handled directly by me, with no handovers or agency layers in between.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Yes. Daylan Design works with businesses across West Midlands and the wider UK. Most projects run entirely remotely with no impact on quality or communication.
