Growth Retainer for Startups

An extension of your team: monthly strategy, continuous optimisation and priority support across your brand, website and marketing.

Launching is only the beginning. Websites need updates, campaigns need testing, and new opportunities appear every month. Our Growth Retainer gives you an ongoing team — strategy, design, development and marketing — without hiring each role in-house.

Who this service is for

  • Startups after launch that want to keep improving without building a full in-house team.
  • Growing businesses that need regular design, development and marketing support.
  • Founders who want a strategic partner to plan and prioritise growth each month.

What’s included

  • Dedicated account manager — one point of contact who knows your business.
  • Monthly strategy sessions to review results and agree priorities.
  • Continuous optimisation of your website, landing pages, SEO and campaigns.
  • Flexible scope — shift hours between design, development, content and marketing as your needs change.
  • Priority support for fixes, updates and urgent requests.
  • Comprehensive reporting in plain language, with clear next steps.

How it works

  1. Onboarding. We review your goals, assets and current performance, and agree what success looks like.
  2. Monthly plan. At the start of each month we agree the priorities and deliverables.
  3. Delivery. Our team works through the plan, sharing progress as we go.
  4. Review. Each month we report results and adjust the next month’s plan; every quarter we step back for a wider business review.

Deliverables

  • Monthly strategy sessions
  • Ongoing optimisations
  • Performance reports
  • Priority support
  • Flexible deliverables
  • Quarterly business reviews

Engagement

The Growth Retainer is an ongoing monthly partnership with a 3-month minimum, so there’s enough time to plan, deliver and measure real results.

What a retainer can cover

Frequently asked questions

Why is there a 3-month minimum?

Most improvements, especially in SEO and marketing, need a few months to show results. Three months gives enough time to plan, deliver and measure properly.

Can we change what we focus on each month?

Yes. Scope is flexible: you can move time between design, development and marketing as your priorities change.

Do we need to have worked with you before?

No. Many clients start with a retainer after launching elsewhere. We begin with a review of your current setup.
