Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Elite Digital different from other agencies?

We build strategies for the AI search era, not just traditional Google links. Every programme integrates AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) so your brand is found whether users search on Google, Perplexity, or ChatGPT.

Do you work with businesses outside the UK?

Our core market is the UK, but we work with US businesses in all 50 states — see our state guides at /locations/us — plus select international clients expanding English-language digital presence.

How do you price your services?

We offer transparent, tiered pricing for most services. Visit our Pricing page for detailed information on each service line.

What is your typical onboarding timeline?

We typically launch initial campaigns and foundational technical fixes within 14–21 days of signing.

What is AEO and why does it matter?

Answer Engine Optimisation ensures your brand is cited by Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Gemini when users ask questions related to your category. It is the fastest-growing new discipline in digital marketing.

How much does a digital marketing agency cost in the UK?

A UK digital marketing agency costs £500–£5,000+ per month in 2026. Starter campaigns (one or two channels, e.g. local SEO) run £500–£1,000/month; growth programmes combining SEO, paid ads and content run £1,000–£3,000/month; full-service retainers run £2,000–£6,000+/month. Ad spend sits on top of management fees. Elite Digital publishes its pricing openly — most agencies don't.

Is it worth hiring a digital marketing agency?

Yes, for most businesses — provided goals and measurement are agreed up front. An agency gives you a senior team (strategy, SEO, ads, content, design) for less than one in-house hire: a single UK marketing hire costs £35,000–£55,000+/year with overheads, while a full agency programme typically costs £12,000–£36,000/year. The test is accountability: require cost-per-lead reporting from month one.

How long does SEO take to work?

Most UK businesses see measurable SEO movement in 3–6 months and compounding returns from month 6–12. Local SEO in lower-competition areas can move in 6–10 weeks; national commercial terms take longer. Any agency promising page-one rankings in 30 days for competitive terms should not be trusted. AEO/GEO wins (featured snippets, AI citations) often arrive faster than classic rankings because they reward structure over authority age.
