  • 02SEO, AEO and GEO in the build price, not sold back to you later
  • 03Built on Astro: clean code, no page builder, nothing slowing it down

  • 06Cameron Park NSW, local to Newcastle and the Hunter

Our commitment: If your site isn't right on delivery, we fix it. No questions, no extra charge.

Every build, whichever package, runs the same five-phase process. What a custom build involves is set out under web design, and the SEO work included in each tier under SEO Newcastle. Why the Growth and Authority suburb pages are the part of a build that earns the most is in the suburb SEO playbook, with the numbers from a live 59-page network.

After launch

Any build,any plan.

Which one you need depends on how much work happens each month, not on which package you bought. Your build's suburb pages are done at launch, so anything a plan publishes is new ground on top of them.

No minimum term. Move up or down a tier whenever you like, effective from your next billing cycle. Cancel any time and the plan runs to the end of that month, then stops. Anything outside your plan is quoted and agreed before it's done, never billed after the fact.

Doing it yourself

What a website costs to run without a plan

Typical Australian figures rather than ours, which is why they are ranges. They deliberately do not add up to one number, because hosting is free for some sites and fifty dollars a month for others.

  • Domain$20-40 a year

    A .com.au renewal. The smallest bill on the list and the only one that takes the site off the internet the day it lapses, usually because the notice went to an address nobody checks.

  • Hosting$0-50 a month

    Free on Cloudflare's edge network if the site is static and you run it yourself, which we will set up for you. A WordPress site cannot do that: it needs a server running PHP and a database.

  • WordPress updates and licences$200-600 a year

    Core, theme and plugin updates, plus the premium licences underneath them. A plugin that stops being maintained does not stay a feature, it becomes a security hole. A static site has none of it, though its framework still needs patching and rebuilding by somebody.

  • Someone to make the changes$2,000+ a year

    The one nobody budgets for. Australian developers typically bill $100 to $150 an hour and most have a minimum charge, so a five minute edit still costs an hour. Two a month is twenty-four a year.

Maintain is $50 a month. That is $600 a year and it covers all four, with the changes made by us. A Squarespace or Wix subscription is $360 to $720 a year and you still do the work yourself.

Google Business Profile planMonthly · Any website

Local SEO

$350/mo

Your Google Business Profile, optimised and then posted four times a week, so the listing on the map stays complete, current and answered.

Most profiles are set up once and never touched again: half the categories, no products, photos from launch day, a review from March that nobody answered. Google reads that as a business that has gone quiet. This plan keeps the profile complete, current and answered every week, whether or not we built your website.

Book a call ↗
  • Profile optimised in the first two weeks: categories, services, products, description, photos, opening hours and booking link, with your name, address and phone matched to your website
  • 4 posts a week, written, imaged and scheduled for you
  • Every review answered within 2 business days, and a review-request template to send your customers
  • Your new photos added every month, in the format the profile accepts, so the listing never shows launch-day pictures
  • A one-page report each month: searches, calls, direction requests and website clicks, straight from the profile
  • On a site we built, the profile is matched to the site's LocalBusiness schema. On any other site, you get the list of what to change

Posts alone do not rank a profile. What moves the map pack is categories, reviews, photos and a name, address and phone that match your website, and this plan does all of it. You add Newcastle Web Co as a manager on the profile; we never ask for a login. No minimum term, same as every plan on this page.

$299/mo

$790 setup, once · 300 minutes included

Phone and website. One bill.

  • One setup, one script: the chat knows what the phone knows
  • One monthly bill, month to month, move or cancel from the next billing cycle

Open to any business in Australia, whether or not we built your website. Month to month: move between the three or cancel from the next billing cycle. Phone plans: 300 minutes of calls a month included, then 30c a minute.

Add-onsOne-off · On top of any plan

Sometimes you want a push rather than a permanent step up. Buy a block of pages or posts, we write and publish them, and your monthly plan stays where it is. These are new pages, not the ones your build already shipped with. What a suburb page has to carry to rank, and why a template with the name swapped does not, is in the suburb SEO playbook.

Our builds only

SEO Suburb Pages

5 pages$350$70 a page
10 pages$600$60 a page

For clients who want to cover more of the map faster than their plan allows. Each page targets one suburb and one service, written for that area rather than find-and-replaced.

  • On-page SEO: title, meta description and heading structure
  • Copy written for that suburb, not a template with the name swapped
  • Internal linking into the rest of the site
  • Schema markup consistent with every other page
Our builds only

Blog Post Packs

5 posts$300$60 a post
10 posts$550$55 a post

For a content push, a promo cycle, or a run at a topic your competitors have not written about. Keyword-targeted, written properly, and published for you.

  • Keyword research before a word is written
  • On-page SEO: title, meta description and heading structure
  • Written to the same standard as the rest of the site
  • Published, indexed and checked

Packs are available on sites Newcastle Web Co built, because the pages have to match the architecture, the internal linking and the schema already running on the rest of the site.

Pricing infoStraight answers. No nonsense.

The questions that come before the quote.

Newcastle Web Co offers three fixed-price packages. The Starter is $1,800 for a 3 to 5 page professional site, fully SEO, AEO and GEO optimised, delivered in 3 weeks. The Growth package starts from $3,500 and is a fully custom build with 30 SEO suburb pages. The Authority package is a larger custom build with 50 SEO suburb pages, with scope and price confirmed on a call.

Newcastle Web Co runs three monthly support plans. Maintain is $50 a month and covers Cloudflare hosting, SSL, uptime monitoring, security patching and up to two small content edits. Momentum is $200 a month and adds one SEO suburb page and one blog post every month. Scale is $850 a month for four to six suburb pages, four blog posts and 48-hour turnaround. Custom retainers start at $1,500 a month. Any build can sit on any plan, because the plan is priced on how much work happens each month, not on which package you bought. Separate from all three, the Local SEO plan runs your Google Business Profile for $350 a month and works beside any of them or on its own.

Yes. The Local SEO plan is $350 a month and is open to any business, not only sites Newcastle Web Co built. In the first two weeks the profile is optimised: categories, services, products, description, photos, opening hours, booking link, and the name, address and phone matched to your website. After that we publish four posts a week, answer every review within two business days, add your new photos every month, and send a one-page report each month with searches, calls, direction requests and website clicks. You add us as a manager on the profile; we never ask for your login. There is no minimum term.

Yes, and it is the one answering the chat on this page. The phone version answers the calls your business misses, after four rings and after hours, in an Australian voice, takes the caller's details, books the job into your Google Calendar and texts you within the minute. It is $249 a month after a one-off $790 setup, with 300 minutes of calls a month included, then 30c a minute. The website chat on its own is $79 a month with no setup, and both together are $299 a month. It is a product, not a support plan: it works for any business whether or not we built the site, sits beside any plan or none, and is month to month.

On paper, yes, and in practice it is usually the most expensive option on this page. Hosting is genuinely cheap now: a static site runs on Cloudflare's free tier and we will set that up for you if you want to self-host. What is not cheap is a person. Australian developers typically bill $100 to $150 an hour and most have a minimum charge, so the two small edits a month included in Maintain are worth well over $2,000 a year of somebody's time. The real cost of no plan is not the invoice you avoid, it is that changes stop being made at all, because every one of them means chasing a quote for twenty minutes of work. Two years later the site is advertising old prices and a service you dropped, and the build you paid for has quietly stopped earning.

Yes, if Newcastle Web Co built the site. SEO suburb pages come in packs of 5 for $350 or 10 for $600. Blog posts come in packs of 5 for $300 or 10 for $550. Both are one-off purchases on top of whatever plan you are on, useful for a content push or a seasonal campaign rather than a permanent change in volume.

No. Your files are delivered on completion and you can host the site anywhere you like. Most Newcastle Web Co clients stay on a plan because a site left alone slowly falls behind: content goes stale, competitors keep publishing, and rankings drift. A monthly plan is how the site keeps earning after launch day instead of sitting still. There is no minimum term on any plan. Cancel whenever you like and it runs to the end of that month, then stops.

Yes. Every Newcastle Web Co package includes full on-page SEO: keyword research, meta titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, schema markup and local SEO setup. The Growth package adds 30 dedicated SEO suburb pages. The Authority package adds 50.

SEO suburb pages each target one location and service combination, for example 'Plumber Charlestown' or 'Web Design Cessnock'. Each page is individually optimised for that specific search. Together they build topical authority across your service area and expand the number of local searches you can rank for.

Newcastle Web Co can quote either a rebuild or an optimisation of your existing site, whichever is the better move for your business. Many businesses find a full rebuild is the faster path to results. Email admin@newcastlewebco.com.au for a fixed-price quote.
