Written by Sami, the founder, for the owners of local businesses, shops and trades. Short, honest, and backed by real numbers with links.
Prices on the page, your own photos, the booking link wired in, true hours, a map and recent reviews. What a barbershop website needs, what you can safely skip, and what it should cost, whoever builds it.
A freelancer wants £300 to £3,000, an agency wants £2,000 to £7,000, and a builder wants £200 a year forever. Where those numbers come from, the running costs nobody itemises, what actually pushes a price up, and five questions to ask before you pay anybody. Our own prices included.
Google publishes the three things that decide who shows up nearby, and the list is shorter than the industry pretends. What each one means, what the research says about it, and six things to do this week without paying anybody.
About a third of UK businesses still have no website, while most of their customers now start every search online, and nearly half have started asking AI tools instead. What that costs, with sources you can check.
