No payment until you’re happy
You won’t pay a penny until your site is ready and you’ve approved it for launch. Zero risk.
Local business websites, built and managed for you
We build your website.
You don't lift a finger.
Local web design that gets your business found. We write your copy, set up local SEO, and build a website that works in Google, Bing and AI search. Professionally designed and live within 7–14 days.
£795 one-off build + £29/mo hosting, maintenance & security
DIY builders start from £16/month, but expect 20+ hours of evenings and weekends figuring it out. At £50/hour, that's £1,000+ before your site is even live.
You've got enough on your plate. We'll handle the website.
No payment until your site is ready and you've given it the green light for launch.

Hi, I'm Chris.
I started Launch My Local Site after seeing too many local businesses get stuck in the same situation.
They either get quoted thousands upfront by agencies, handed a DIY website builder they don't have time to learn, or end up with a generic site that looks nice but never actually generates enquiries.
For most local businesses, the problem isn't just ability. It's time.
You're busy running the business, serving customers, answering calls and keeping everything moving. Writing website copy, choosing hosting, setting up domains and figuring out Google is usually the last thing you want to deal with.
That's exactly why Launch My Local Site exists.
You simply tell me about your business and I take care of the rest. I write the copy, build the site, handle the hosting and submit everything to Google so your website is ready to start bringing in enquiries.
No big upfront costs. No complicated setup.
Just a straightforward service that gets your business online properly.
Why local businesses choose us
Everything handled for you, with no surprises.
All setup sorted for you
Domain, hosting, design, content, launch. We handle everything so you don’t have to lift a finger.
Live in as little as 7 days
Most websites are ready to preview within 7–14 days. We don’t hang about.
Tailored copy written for you
We write all the website copy based on what you tell us about your business. No templates, no filler.
Built for Google from day one
Every site is built to be search engine friendly and submitted to Google the moment it launches.
Every enquiry is 100% yours
Unlike trades portals, every enquiry from your website goes directly to you. No commission, no hidden fees, no middleman.
Personal, friendly service
You’re not a ticket number. We work with you directly and keep things simple and straightforward.
No hassle, no wasted time
Tell us what you need, and we take it from there. You get on with running your business.
Ongoing maintenance included
Updates, fixes, and minor changes are all part of the package. Your site stays fresh without you having to chase anyone.
Why not just use a website builder?
Platforms like Wix and Squarespace start from £16/month, but you do all the work yourself. Here's the honest difference.

The real cost of “cheap”
A £16/month builder still needs 10–20 hours of your time to set up, write copy, and figure out SEO. At £40/hour, that's £400–800 before you've even launched. And you still have to maintain it yourself.
With us, you spend 30 minutes telling us about your business. We do the rest.

Helping your business get found in search and AI
Your website launches within 7 to 14 days, structured so search engines and AI platforms can understand your business properly.
Search-friendly page structure
Every page is built with clean HTML, proper heading hierarchy, and optimised meta tags so search engines can understand your content.
Clear page titles and descriptions
We write page titles and meta descriptions that include your business name, services, and location to help with local search.
Mobile-friendly design
Google prioritises mobile-friendly websites. Every site we build is fully responsive and tested on all devices.
Fast loading pages
Slow sites get penalised. Our sites are built to load fast, with optimised images and clean code.
Submitted to Google, Bing and AI search
We submit your site to Google and Bing the moment it goes live, and structure it so AI search platforms can find and reference your business too.
Structured data and schema markup
We add behind-the-scenes markup that helps Google understand your business type, location, and services.
For most businesses this means that when someone searches for your business name, your website appears clearly in Google results. Ranking for broader searches such as services in your area usually requires ongoing SEO work.
What our customers say
Real feedback from local businesses we've helped get online.
“I’d been putting off getting a website for over a year. I tried Wix, got about halfway through, and just ran out of time. Launch My Local Site took care of everything. They wrote the copy, chose the images, sorted the domain and hosting, and had it live within two weeks. Within a couple of months I was fully booked and had to start a waiting list. Best decision I’ve made for the business.”

Frequently asked questions
What happens after I submit my details?
Once we receive your details, we review everything and arrange to give you a call within 24–48 hours during office hours. On the call, we’ll confirm your package with you and clarify anything we need to get started on building your website.
How long does it take for you to build my website?
We pride ourselves on our quick turnaround time. Once we’ve confirmed everything with you, we get underway within 24–48 hours, with an aim to have the full website ready for you to preview within 7–14 days. Yep, that’s right! We don’t waste any time.
Do I need to write the website copy myself?
No, we write the core website copy for you based on the information you provide. You’ll get to review everything before it goes live.
Will I be able to review the site before it goes live?
Yes. You’ll get a full preview of your website and nothing goes live until you’ve approved it. One review round is included.
What’s included in the monthly price?
Your monthly price covers a fully built website with tailored copy, essential pages, domain name, hosting, mobile-friendly design, search engine friendly setup, GDPR cookie consent, Google submission on launch, and ongoing maintenance and updates.
Is the domain and hosting included?
Yes. Your domain name, hosting, and all the technical setup are included in your monthly price for as long as your plan is active.
When do I pay?
You won’t pay until your site is ready and you’ve approved it for launch. No upfront payment, no risk. You can also choose to pay annually upfront and save 20%.
Can I pay annually?
Yes. You can choose to pay upfront for the year and save 20% off the monthly price.
What if I need a logo designed?
We supply four logo concepts to choose from, based on your business details and any preferences you share with us. You pick your favourite. You only pay for your logo if you’re happy with it. Once payment is received, we upload it to your website and send you the hi-res version for use elsewhere — branding, print, signage, whatever you need.
Can I use my existing logo?
Absolutely. If you already have a logo, we’ll use it on your website. Just send it across and we’ll take care of the rest.
What if I already have an existing website?
No problem. If you already have a website or domain, we will provide clear DNS instructions so your provider can point the domain to your new website. Where access is required, we will guide you through the safest way to do this without sharing sensitive account credentials. We only repoint your website, not your emails, so there’s no disruption to your email service.
How will my website appear on Google?
We submit your website to Google as part of the launch checks. It can usually take a number of days for Google to start indexing your website, and it normally takes 2–4 weeks before you start seeing your website appearing in Google for your business name. Every site is built with SEO best practices including optimised page titles and meta descriptions, clean URL structure, fast page load speeds, structured heading hierarchy, mobile-first responsive design, image optimisation, and proper schema markup where applicable. For searches on your business name, your website should appear once indexed. Ranking for broader searches such as services in your area usually requires ongoing SEO work over time.
Can you guarantee my website will rank on Google?
No one can guarantee specific Google rankings — anyone who does is making promises they can’t keep. What we can guarantee is that your website will be built with solid SEO foundations and submitted to Google on launch. For your business name, your site should appear within a few weeks. For competitive service searches, consistent SEO effort over time is what makes the difference. We offer a Local SEO Support add-on if you’d like ongoing help with that.
What if my business name is not unique?
If other businesses share a similar or identical name, it may take longer for your website to appear prominently in Google for that name. We help by optimising your site with your location and service type to differentiate you. A Google Business Profile listing, available as an add-on, also helps establish your business identity in local search results.
Can I make changes to my website after it’s live?
Yes. Minor text and image updates are included as part of your ongoing maintenance. If you need larger changes such as new pages or additional features, we can quote for those separately.
Do I own my website?
You own all the content you provide and the website copy we write for you. The design, code, and underlying systems remain with Launch My Local Site while your plan is active. If you cancel, we can provide your content on request within 30 days of termination.
What if I need something more bespoke?
If you need something beyond the standard package, select the bespoke option in the package builder and we’ll prepare a tailored price for you.
What happens after the 12-month minimum term?
After the initial 12 months, your plan continues on a monthly rolling basis. Cancellation requires 30 days’ written notice by email. Your website, hosting, and maintenance remain active while your plan is in place.
Ready to get your business online?
We can typically get most websites up and running within 7 to 14 days. Every enquiry your website generates goes 100% to you. No commission, no middleman, no hidden fees.
No payment until your site is ready and you've approved it for launch.
We will never ask you to provide email passwords, banking information or sensitive account credentials through this website.
