Retainers
Monthly retainers for local businesses
A monthly retainer keeps your Google profile, reviews and website content active, so customers keep finding you after launch. Plans start at $379 a month, with no setup fee or minimum on Starter.
We suggest adding one once your site has been live for a month or two. We never sell one at the same time as your build.
Site Care Plan vs. Monthly Retainer — what's the difference?
Keeps your existing site secure, online, and technically sound. No new content.
Replaces Site Care, so everything Site Care does carries on. On top of that, it adds monthly work to help more local customers find you. Starter covers Google Business Profile posts and review replies. Higher tiers add blog posts, social posts and more.

Why do two plans have a setup fee and a minimum term?
- The onboarding fee
- Month one includes one-time setup work. The exact setup depends on your tier, and Starter has no setup fee. Charged once, not baked into every month after.
- The 3-month minimum
- Local search takes a few months to build. We want you judging a retainer on three months of work, not one.
- Starter has neither
- Nothing in it is one-time, so there's nothing to charge separately for.

Retainers are for sites we already look after. Start with a website build and we will add one once your site has been live a month or two.
