Compared with a normal website

Keep your own site if you have one. This sits alongside it and does the parts most small business websites never get round to.

The small print, in plain English

  • One payment of £499. No annual fee, subscription or renewal.
  • Payment is taken when you buy. If you don't love your finished page, you get a full refund before it goes live.
  • "For life" means for as long as Whitstable Insider is published. If the guide ever closes, you get at least three months' notice and a copy of your words and photos to use anywhere.
  • Included whenever you need them: changes to opening hours, holiday closures, phone, email, website, booking and menu links, and corrections. Usually done within five working days.
  • Included up to four times a year: a fresh description, photos, highlights or questions.
  • Not included: daily specials, extra pages, online ordering or booking systems, email accounts, your own domain name, or work outside Whitstable Insider. We can quote for any of these.
  • Your page keeps the Whitstable Insider design and is marked Featured. The guide's own short write-up stays independent.
  • No one can honestly promise a position on Google or in an AI answer, and we do not. We promise a page built the way they read, kept current.

Questions

Why is my page blurred at the moment?

Every business in the guide has its own page, and search engines read all of it. Visitors who have not registered see the hours, phone and address blurred. A featured page opens it to everyone.

Is it really one payment?

Yes. £499 once. No annual fee, no hosting bill and no renewal.

What does "for life" mean?

For as long as Whitstable Insider is published. If the guide ever closes, you get at least three months' notice and a copy of your words and photos.

I already have a website. Do I need this?

Keep it. Your featured page links to it, and the live badge shows your opening hours on it. The page on Whitstable Insider gives search engines and AI assistants a second, well-structured source about your business, inside a guide people use to choose where to go.

Do I need to do anything technical?

No. Send us your details and photos and we do the rest. Changes go through a short form.

Will this put me top of Google?

No one can honestly promise that, and we do not. What you get is a page built the way search engines and AI assistants read the web, kept current as that changes.

When do I pay?

When you buy. If you don't love your finished page, you get a full refund before it goes live.

What if I sell or close the business?

If you sell, the page passes to the new owner at no charge. If you close, the page is marked closed.

For restaurants, cafes and pubs

Want your own app as well?

Ordering, loyalty, bookings and delivery in an app with your name on it, built and looked after for you. Apps from £3,500, with a fixed quote before any work starts.
