08 / Good questions

The details, up front.

Straight answers on how we work, what we build and what comes next.

How long has iMedia5 been operating, and where are your offices located?

iMedia5 has been building digital products and running performance marketing campaigns for over 10 years, since 2014. The agency maintains UK hubs in London (128 City Road) and Bradford, and a UAE office in Business Bay, Dubai, serving clients across North America, Europe and the Middle East.

What technologies do you use to build websites, and will I own the code?

We build with Astro, Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS and TypeScript, alongside content systems such as WordPress, Shopify, Strapi and Sanity. Clients receive full legal copyright and repository ownership of their website and assets upon project completion.

How much does a bespoke website or marketing campaign typically cost?

Scope depends on requirements. Custom corporate web platforms typically range from £750 to £4,250; enterprise e-commerce and custom web applications from £1,750 to £10,000+. Digital marketing and SEO retainers start from £325/month. Contact the team for a proposal tailored to your project.

How quickly can I expect results from SEO and Google Ads?

Paid campaigns can begin generating targeted traffic and leads within 48–72 hours of launch. Organic SEO generally takes longer: measurable ranking movement and traffic gains often appear between months two and four, with returns building over time. Results vary by market, competition and scope.

What are AEO and GEO?

Answer Engine Optimisation and Generative Engine Optimisation help AI-powered search systems understand your business. The work can include schema knowledge graphs, authoritative citations and concise answer content intended to make your brand more relevant to responses in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI experiences.

Do you offer maintenance and hosting after launch?

Yes. Projects include a 60-day post-launch warranty and bug-fix guarantee. Monthly managed care plans can include uptime monitoring, security hardening, daily cloud backups, framework updates and developer time for further improvements.
