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 a Solihull business targeting professional services or specialist searches, meaningful movement in local rankings typically starts within 3 to 5 months of consistent work. More competitive terms, particularly anything also targeting Birmingham, will take longer. GBP and map visibility for specific Solihull searches can often show movement faster than organic rankings. SEO is a long-term investment. The businesses that see the clearest returns are the ones that treat it as a continuous process rather than a one-off project.

Question 6

Do I need a new website to improve my SEO?

Accepted Answer

Not always. If your current site has clean architecture, acceptable load speed and a platform that gives you full control over technical elements, it can be optimised without rebuilding. However, many professional services websites are built on older platforms or page builders that produce code which limits what can be done technically. I will assess your site specifically and give you a straight answer. If a rebuild makes more practical sense than patching an existing site, I will explain the reasoning clearly.

Question 7

What is structured data and does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Structured data is markup added to your site code that tells Google explicitly what your business does, rather than leaving it to infer from your page text. For a professional services business, it typically means marking up your firm name, address, phone number, opening hours and service categories in a standard format. It contributes to how accurately and completely your business appears in search results, including local knowledge panels and rich results. For businesses where credibility matters at first glance, appearing correctly in search is part of the overall impression you make.

Question 8

How much does SEO cost?

Accepted Answer

Ongoing local SEO for a Solihull business typically starts from around £350 to £600 per month depending on scope, competition and how many pages require regular work. That usually includes on-page optimisation, GBP management and citation building. A standalone technical audit and remediation is priced separately. I give a fixed cost and a clear description of the work before any work begins. You will not receive a monthly report full of metrics with no explanation of what was actually done.

Question 9

Do you work with Solihull businesses remotely?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Solihull is about 25 miles from Telford and all work runs remotely as standard. You get direct access to me throughout the project, communication is straightforward, and work is shared for review at key stages. If an in-person meeting would be useful at any point, that can be arranged.

Question 10

Do you work with businesses in Solihull?

Accepted Answer

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