Question 1

What is included in website maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Maintenance covers software updates, scheduled backups, security monitoring and performance checks. The exact scope depends on your site and requirements.

Question 2

How often are updates applied?

Accepted Answer

Updates are reviewed and applied on a regular schedule. Urgent security patches are handled promptly outside the standard cycle.

Question 3

Can you maintain a website built by another developer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. An initial audit is carried out to assess the current state of the site before maintenance begins.

Question 4

Do you work with non-WordPress websites?

Accepted Answer

Primarily WordPress, though general maintenance for other platforms can be discussed depending on the technology involved.

Question 5

How long does SEO take to show results?

Accepted Answer

For most small Coventry businesses, expect to see meaningful movement in local rankings within 3 to 6 months of consistent work. Less competitive terms and GBP visibility can sometimes move faster. More competitive sectors like legal, financial services and certain trades take longer. The work builds on itself over time, which is why businesses that invest consistently over 12 months see the clearest returns. There are no honest shortcuts.

Question 6

Do I need a new website to improve my SEO?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. If your existing site is technically sound and built on a platform you have proper control over, it can often be optimised without a rebuild. Where a rebuild becomes necessary is when the site has fundamental speed problems, broken architecture or is on a closed platform that limits what can be changed technically. I'll audit your site and tell you honestly which situation you're in, including whether the issues are severe enough to make a rebuild more cost-effective than trying to work around them.

Question 7

What is structured data and does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Structured data is additional markup in your website's code that tells search engines exactly what type of content a page contains. For a local business, it typically means marking up your name, address, phone number, opening hours and services in a format that Google can read directly. It reduces ambiguity: rather than Google inferring what your business does from your page text, you are stating it explicitly. It is used to populate rich results and local knowledge panels, and contributes to how accurately and completely your business appears in search.

Question 8

How much does SEO cost?

Accepted Answer

For a local Coventry business, ongoing SEO work typically starts from around £300 to £550 per month depending on scope and competition. That usually covers on-page optimisation, GBP management and citation building. A standalone technical audit is a different engagement and priced accordingly. I give a clear description of what is being done each month and a fixed price before work begins.

Question 9

Do you work with Coventry businesses remotely?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Coventry is about 40 miles from Telford and all work runs remotely regardless of distance. We communicate by email and video call, I share work in progress regularly, and you have direct access to me throughout. The experience is the same whether you're in Coventry, Manchester or anywhere else in the UK.

Question 10

Do you work with businesses in Coventry?

Accepted Answer

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