Website development, SEO and digital marketing for London businesses
London carries the highest agency day rates in the UK, and a Shoreditch or Soho address is part of what you pay for when you brief one. We are a web development agency working from India, invoicing in pounds, with no London office and no plan to pretend otherwise — what you get instead is the same published price list every UK client sees, delivered across a working day that overlaps almost all of yours.

Working with us in London
What London businesses run into, and what we do about it
London day rates, and what they are actually buying
The most expensive agency market in the UK is expensive for reasons that have nothing to do with your website: central London rent, London salaries, and an account team sitting between you and the person doing the work. A web design company London firms can brief from India carries none of that, which is why our published website price sits where it does. The saving is real; the trade-off is that we are remote, and we would rather you weigh that openly than discover it later.
UK GDPR is not a checkbox in the capital's regulated sectors
Fintech, legal and professional services firms — a large share of London's economy — have compliance teams who will ask where their customer data goes. India has no adequacy decision, so we do not hand-wave it: a written DPA, Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum come as standard, and our sub-processors are named. Ask for the paperwork before kickoff, not after.
The most crowded local search results in the country
Type 'seo agency London' into Google and the first page is a wall of paid listings and large firms who have been building links for a decade. That is not a fight a new domain wins by chasing the broadest term. We map the searches your actual buyers make — a borough, a sector, a specific problem — and tell you plainly which head terms are not worth the retainer.
AI assistants are already answering London buyers' questions
A growing share of 'who should I hire' questions now go to ChatGPT or Google's AI Overviews before they go to a results page. Generative engine optimisation sits inside our SEO retainer, and as an ai agency we also build the automation and agents behind the site, so the same team that gets you cited can put a working assistant on your enquiry form.

Why London clients work with us
Nearly a full working day of overlap
India runs four and a half to five and a half hours ahead of London depending on British Summer Time, so a brief sent from Canary Wharf at nine is being worked on by the time you have finished your first coffee, and the answer is usually back before you leave.
Pounds in, no VAT surprise
Invoices are raised in GBP to local UK account details, so your finance team makes a domestic transfer with no SWIFT fees. As a non-UK supplier of business services we do not add VAT; give us your VAT number and the reverse charge is referenced on the invoice.
No office in London, said plainly
We are not in London and we will not rent a virtual address in EC2 to imply we are. What you get is published pricing, a GST registration in India you can verify, a written DPA, and delivery over video calls and a shared project board.
Local SEO for a city that searches by postcode
Londoners search by area — a dentist in Clapham, an accountant near Liverpool Street — so local seo services here mean a Google Business Profile that is actually maintained, borough-level pages that say something true, and citations that match your registered address exactly.

How it works
Questions from London clients
Do you have an office in London?
No. We work remotely from India. A digital marketing agency London clients hire from us gets the same process as every UK client: a written brief, video calls booked into the overlap, a shared board, and the invoice in pounds.
Are you a digital marketing agency in London or a web design company?
Both, and a software company as well. One team builds websites and ecommerce stores, runs SEO and paid social retainers, and writes custom software, AI agents and WhatsApp automation. You do not get passed between departments because the same people do all of it.
Do you invoice in pounds, and is VAT added?
Yes to pounds, no to VAT. The invoice is in GBP as a zero-rated export of services from India; you self-account under the reverse charge and we reference your VAT number. Where we process personal data, a DPA with Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK addendum is signed before any data moves.
How much of the London working day do you cover?
Almost all of it. India is four and a half hours ahead during British Summer Time and five and a half in winter, so we are online from your early morning until mid-afternoon. Anything raised after that is waiting for you the next morning.
What does a website or SEO cost for a London business?
A business website runs £2,000 to £3,500 depending on page count and complexity, and SEO retainers run £750 to £3,000 a month by scope and competitiveness. Those are the published figures for every UK client; there is no London premium and no London discount.
