FAQ
What does a marketing company usually cost?
chevron down icon
It varies widely. UK price guides put local SEO at about £400 to £1,500 a month, social media at £300 to £800 a month, and a small business website from an agency at £2,000 to £7,000 (Bark, checked October 2026).
How many pages can our website have?
chevron down icon
As many as you need. FuneralBranch includes unlimited pages, so you can add a page for every service and town you cover to help you rank on Google.
Can FuneralBranch help us rank locally?
chevron down icon
Yes. Local SEO is included, with a local SEO page for every branch and Google Business Profile integration. Omega Funerals went from unranked to 3rd in local search in under two months on FuneralBranch. Results depend on your area and local competition.
We already have someone.
chevron down icon
Keep your web person. Add the midnight jobs. Most funeral homes already have a site. FuneralBranch wins the midnight enquiry: clear prices, online arrangements, and a store that takes the order. Your marketing company can keep running adverts or social while we look after the site families land on.
What should a marketing company report to us?
chevron down icon
Ask for the searches you appear in, calls and enquiries from Google, and your reviews over time. If they manage Google Ads, Google requires them to show what Google charged, separately from their own fees. FuneralBranch includes Search Console and review reporting.
What happens when we move to FuneralBranch?
chevron down icon
We build your new website and train your team, and your current site stays live until you’re happy with the new one. After launch, your website keeps improving as the software does. If you’re not satisfied within six months, we’ll refund you in full.
