How much does BCS Media & Design charge for SEO services?

BCS SEO Growth Systems are available on two retainer tiers. Growth: £3,000–£5,999 per month for 20–50 landing pages. Scale: £6,000–£10,000+ per month for 50–100+ landing pages.

How are custom web tools priced?

All custom web tool projects are scoped and quoted individually based on requirements. Every build is different - contact us to discuss your project.

Does BCS offer short term contracts?

BCS works exclusively on a retainer basis with clients who are serious about long-term inbound growth. We do not offer short term or one-off SEO packages.

Why doesn't BCS offer SEO packages below £3,000 per month?

Meaningful SEO results require a critical mass of high-quality landing pages published consistently every month. Below 20 pages per month the compounding effect does not kick in fast enough to justify the investment. BCS only works with businesses ready to invest in long-term inbound growth at a level where results are achievable.

How quickly will I see results?

SEO compounds over time. Most clients see meaningful ranking movement within 60–90 days, with consistent growth month on month as the landing page network scales.

What makes BCS different from other SEO agencies?

We combine AI-assisted content production with genuine editorial quality control - delivering landing pages at a scale traditional agencies cannot match, without sacrificing the quality that rankings require.

Do you offer trials or a money-back period?

We don't run free trials - SEO outcomes don't appear inside a trial window. What we do offer is a clear-eyed discovery call before we sign anything. If we don't believe we can deliver meaningful results for your business, we tell you on that call.

What are the contract terms and notice period?

Retainers run on a rolling monthly basis with a 30-day notice period. There is no minimum-term lock-in, but we ask clients to plan for at least a six-month window - that's the timeframe in which the compounding effect of the work becomes visible.

What payment terms do you offer?

Retainers are billed monthly in advance by direct debit (GoCardless) or bank transfer. Custom web tool projects are billed in stages tied to milestones agreed in the scope document - typically 33% on kickoff, 33% on design sign-off, and 34% on handover.

Realistic Timelines - What to Expect

SEO is a compounding asset, not a paid-ads tap. Here's what a typical 12-month BCS engagement looks like.

Months 1–3

Foundations and first wins

Technical audit completed, keyword and page architecture mapped, first 60–150 landing pages shipped. Most clients see first inbound enquiries from lower-competition queries by the end of month three.

Months 4–6

Compounding kicks in

Pages from month one have aged, accumulated authority, and started ranking on more competitive commercial terms. Lead volume becomes consistent month-on-month.

Months 7–12

Primary inbound channel

Organic search becomes the dominant inbound channel. Cost per qualified lead drops well below paid alternatives, and the asset (your indexed page network) keeps producing whether or not you keep investing.

Worked example

How the ROI maths typically stacks up

Take a UK private clinic on the Growth tier at £4,000 per month. Average lifetime patient value: £1,200. Inbound conversion rate from organic enquiry to booked consultation: roughly 30%.

By month six, the clinic is typically generating 40 to 80 organic enquiries per month from the new landing page network - call it 60 mid-range. At a 30% close rate that's 18 new patients monthly, worth £21,600 in lifetime value. The retainer pays for itself roughly six times over inside a single month, and the page network keeps producing month after month.

The maths varies sector by sector - a B2B services firm with a £50,000 average client value needs only a handful of conversions a year - but the structure is the same: the cost of the retainer is small relative to the value of the inbound channel it builds.

Why We Don't Offer Cheaper Packages

We get asked this. The honest answer is that SEO done properly is resource-intensive - and anything below a certain threshold produces results too slowly to be worth your investment.

To move the needle meaningfully, you need a critical mass of high-quality landing pages published consistently, month after month. Below 20 pages per month, the compounding effect that makes this model work simply doesn't kick in fast enough to justify the cost.

We could offer a £500/month package. It would underdeliver, you would be disappointed, and we would have wasted each other's time. That is not how we operate.

BCS works with businesses that are ready to invest in long-term inbound growth - and we deliver results that make that investment straightforward to justify. If you'd like to discuss your goals, contact us.

SEO Takes Volume

Meaningful results require consistent output at scale - not a handful of pages.

We Protect Our Reputation

We only take on work we know we can deliver results on. Low budgets make that impossible.

Your ROI Has to Stack Up

At £3,000/month, one or two new clients typically covers the retainer. The maths has to work for you.
