Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the most frequently asked questions about web design, optimisation and digital marketing. Got a question that isn’t covered? Let us know — we’ll answer it..
Got a question?
How Much Does a Website Cost?
A professional digital project can cost anywhere between £2,000 and upwards of £10,000, depending on complexity.
Pricing reflects whether you need a simple, fast-loading brand platform or a complex, custom-built web application.
A good agency, like Kaydee Web, provides transparent breakdowns, so you know precisely what technical depth, design, and strategy you’re paying for.
A properly optimised website isn’t an arbitrary expense; it’s a high-performing digital asset designed to grow your business over time.
Should I Hire a Website Designer, or Do It Myself?
Build it yourself for a quick start; hire an agency when it’s time to scale.
DIY platforms work for the launch phase. However, hiring an expert agency gives you a tailored strategy, technical depth, fast loading speeds, and accessibility, freeing you up from endless troubleshooting so you can focus on running your business.
We see this all the time: a founder starts out happily tweaking templates, but six months later they’re burned out trying to fix mobile layouts, broken plugins, and slow load times.
Technology should support you, not add extra tasks to your to-do list.
How Long Does SEO Take, and is it Worth it?
SEO takes roughly three to six months to show momentum, but it’s worth every penny.
Unlike paid ads that vanish the moment you stop paying, organic optimisation builds sustainable, long-term visibility and establishes ongoing authority, steady traffic, and credible trust with real people searching for your exact solutions.
Everyone loves a quick win, but search engine optimisation is more like planting a garden than flicking a light switch.
True optimisation isn’t about gaming an algorithm; it’s about helping real people find good answers. It takes time and consistency, but the payoff is momentum that lasts.
Why am I Getting Traffic but no Sales?
Usually, visitors leave because your site creates confusion rather than carving a clear path forward.
High traffic means your marketing gets attention, but if your website feels overwhelming, slow, or vague, people bounce.
Converting traffic requires clear messaging, intuitive design, and a seamless, human-first experience that builds immediate trust.
It helps to remember that audiences give online content about 15 seconds to win them over before clicking away. If a visitor lands on your page and has to hunt for what they need, they won’t stick around.
People often assume that if you build a pretty website and get eyeballs on it, the phone will start ringing automatically. In reality, getting found is only half the battle.
How do I Stand Out in a Sea of AI Content?
You stand out by sharing genuine human stories, real opinions, and clear personality.
AI can help brainstorm initial ideas, but it lacks empathy, common sense, and lived experience.
Only you have your knowledge, experience and stories; AI is just a cover band.
Writing conversational content in plain language builds authentic connection and authority that no AI tool can replicate.
With generative tools spitting out endless generic blog posts, the internet has become very noisy very quickly, but tech should support humans, not replace them.
People don’t buy from algorithms; they buy from real people they like and trust.

How do I Know if SEO is Working?
You can track whether your SEO strategy is working by setting up Google Search Console (GSC), a free tool that measures how Google views and ranks your website.
Read our blog post on how to set up Google Search Console.
Once set up, check these key areas to evaluate your performance:
- Organic Search Traffic & Visibility: Use the Performance tab to monitor your impressions, average ranking positions, and the exact search terms people use to find you.
- Click-Through Rate (CTR): Look at the percentage of people who see your site in search results and actually click on it. High impressions with low CTR mean you may need more compelling titles or descriptions.
- Top Performing Pages: Identify which specific web pages are driving the highest amount of traffic to your site.
- Index & Technical Health: Check the Indexing tab to ensure Google is successfully crawling and listing your pages. Track loading speeds (Core Web Vitals) and fix errors like broken links or mobile display issues.
How do I Optimise for AI as well as Traditional Search?
To optimise for both traditional and AI search, you don’t need separate strategies; you need layered optimisation.
Traditional SEO helps your content get found, while AI optimisation (AEO, GEO, and AIO) ensures your content is extracted, trusted, and cited.
The seemingly overnight shift in how we’re searching and the influx of new acronyms can feel overwhelming.
To understand the difference between each, and how to tweak your content to satisfy them all, read this blog post.
How do I Structure my Written Content for Optimisation?
To optimise your written content, lead with answers, use a clear heading hierarchy, format for scannability, and include relevant keywords.
Words help websites get found by helping search engines and AI tools understand your business and how and who it helps, so it can put you in front of them.
One of the best ways to be a good resource for your audience is to regularly post genuinely helpful blog posts that answer the questions they’re actually asking.
