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 businesses in Shrewsbury, meaningful local search improvements tend to appear within 2 to 4 months of consistent work. The search market here is less competitive than major cities, which means results often come faster. GBP and map visibility can move particularly quickly for less contested terms. For more competitive sectors like certain legal or financial services searches, it takes a little longer regardless of location. Steady, well-executed work over 6 to 12 months produces results that hold, whereas one-off optimisation projects typically fade.

Question 6

Do I need a new website to improve my SEO?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. The question is whether your current site has the technical foundations that allow optimisation work to take effect. If it is structurally sound and gives you proper control over the technical elements, it can be improved without rebuilding. If it has deep speed issues, poor architecture or is built on a platform that limits what can be done, a rebuild is usually more practical than trying to work around those limitations. I will assess your site and give you a direct answer either way.

Question 7

What is structured data and does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Structured data is code added to your website that provides search engines with explicit information about your business: name, address, phone number, opening hours and services in a standardised format they can read directly. It matters because it removes ambiguity about what your business is and does. Google uses it to populate local knowledge panels and rich results. It is not a magic ranking boost, but it contributes to appearing correctly and completely in local search, which matters for businesses that rely on local customers finding them.

Question 8

How much does SEO cost?

Accepted Answer

For a local Shrewsbury business, ongoing SEO work typically starts from around £250 to £450 per month depending on scope. Because competition in this market is lower than in larger cities, the amount of work required to achieve and maintain good visibility is often less. A one-off technical audit and remediation would be scoped and priced separately. I give a fixed monthly cost and a clear description of what is being done before any work starts.

Question 9

Do you work with Shrewsbury businesses remotely?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I am based in Telford, 15 miles away, and all work runs remotely by default. For Shrewsbury clients who would like to meet in person at any stage, that is practical to arrange. Everything is handled directly by me, with no layers in between.

Question 10

Do you work with businesses in Shrewsbury?

Accepted Answer

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