Glide
Web design, SEO and CRO, on one monthly fee
Most agencies sell you a website, then sell you SEO, then sell you a redesign two years later. We do it differently. One subscription from £1,000 a month gets you the site, the work to get you found, and the ongoing tuning that turns more visitors into enquiries. No big upfront quote, with a clear buyout whenever you want to take it in-house.
- The website build itself, designed to win enquiries
- Hosting, SSL, security and the small changes you always mean to make
- SEO foundations and AI-search readiness so you get found
- CRO, the ongoing tuning that lifts your enquiry rate over time
Web Design
A fast, modern website built to turn visitors into real enquiries, not just look pretty. The foundation everything else sits on.

The same build, spread over a monthly fee instead of a five-figure invoice. Most agencies will not publish subscription pricing. Ours is on the page.

Rank for what your customers search, and get mentioned in AI search like ChatGPT and Google AI when they ask there instead.

Conversion rate optimisation: the ongoing work that turns more of your existing traffic into enquiries. Built into the subscription, not sold as an extra.
How CRO worksWhen the site is working, turn the taps on
Once your website is bringing in enquiries, these are the levers that bring in more. Add them on top of your subscription whenever you are ready.
Social Media Management
Posts, stories, reels and engagement handled by a real strategist, so your social keeps moving without you living on your phone.
Social media managementGoogle & Meta Ads
Paid search and paid social set up and managed properly, so you only spend on the clicks worth winning and you can see what each pound brings back.
Google & Meta AdsEmail Marketing
Your owned audience, built and nurtured. Newsletter setup, welcome sequences and ongoing campaigns that keep you in front of people who already know you.
Email marketingLocal Business Listings
Your name, address and phone number fixed and consistent across the directories Google checks. Unglamorous, and one of the highest-return jobs in local search.
Local listings and citationsOne person accountable for the lot
Website, SEO, ads and social all run through one small, senior team, with me, Mike, founder of Glide, accountable across it. No silos, no being passed around different departments.
You get a joined-up picture of what is working and what to do next, from someone who knows your business.

How the subscription works, what is bundled, what costs extra, and whether we can take over what you already have.
No. The website, SEO foundations, AI-search work, CRO and the compliance-aware marketing come together in the Glide Retainer from £1,000 a month plus VAT, because they work as one system. Google Ads, a heavy ongoing SEO campaign, social media and email marketing are separate add-ons you bolt on when there is a case for it, so the core fee stays simple and predictable.
One monthly fee covers your website, the hosting and upkeep, SEO foundations, AI-search readiness and the CRO that keeps improving how many visitors turn into enquiries. No five-figure upfront build fee, and a clear one-off buyout whenever you want to take the build in-house. Most clients start here, then add growth services like ads or social once the site is pulling its weight.
The Glide Retainer starts at £1,000 a month plus VAT and covers the website, hosting, the SEO and AI-search foundations and the compliance-aware marketing. Google Ads, heavy SEO campaigns, social and email are priced on top depending on what you need. If all you want is a simple website on a small monthly fee, there are website-only plans from £150 a month on the pricing page. You always get a clear price in plain English before anything begins.
Often, yes. Tell us what you are on now and we will be honest about whether it makes more sense to take it over or rebuild it properly. Either way you will know exactly what we recommend, and why, before you commit.
Almost always the website, because everything else sends traffic to it. Paying for ads or social while the site converts badly is buying a bigger audience for a page that loses them. If your site is already good, SEO or ads is the right first move, and we will say so rather than selling you a rebuild you do not need.
It depends which lever. Ads can produce enquiries in the first week, because you are buying attention. SEO is a 3 to 6 month build in most markets, longer in competitive cities. CRO shows up as soon as there is enough traffic to measure. A site itself goes live in around 14 days on Lite and 21 on Growth. Anyone promising you page one in a month is guessing.
Yes. We are based in Chelmsford and a lot of our local search work is Essex-focused, but we work with clients across the UK and one in Germany. Where being local matters we will say so, and where it makes no difference we will say that too.
Then you want SEO, local listings, or both, and you do not need our website subscription. We will look at what you have first. If the site is sound we work with it. If it is holding you back to the point where SEO would be pouring money into a leaky bucket, we will tell you that before you spend anything.
Yes. There is a 3-month minimum on the website subscription, then 30 days’ notice. If you want to keep the build, there is a clear one-off buyout: £1,500 for a Lite site or £3,500 for a Growth site, and we hand over the code, hosting and accounts. The buyout exists specifically so there is no lock-in.
A small senior team, with Mike accountable across the lot. You are not handed to a junior after the sales call, and you are not passed between departments. That is the whole reason we stay small.
