Planet 9 Work with us

Six services, chosen your way.

Pick one, pick all six, or start with one and add more once it's paying off. Every engagement runs month to month with thirty days' notice.

SEO & content

The essential groundwork: crawl budget, internal linking, page speed, and pages that answer what people are really searching for.

  • Technical audits and migration planning
  • Keyword and intent mapping for every page on your site
  • Content from writers who properly research the topic
  • Digital PR and link building, never bought in bulk
  • Local SEO and listings for multiple locations

Brand & creative

For businesses whose original identity no longer fits. Most projects take four to six weeks from brief to finish.

  • Naming, positioning and messaging
  • Logo, typography, colour and a system that works in the real world
  • Tone of voice, shown through examples instead of adjectives
  • Packaging, signage and print
  • Brand guidelines your team will genuinely use

Websites

Quick, accessible and easy for you to edit. We choose Webflow, WordPress or Shopify based on how you'll use the site.

  • Design and build for anything from a single landing page to a 400-page migration
  • Core Web Vitals treated as essential, not optional
  • WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility as standard
  • A full handover with training, documentation and admin access
  • Optional care plans if you'd like us to look after it for you

Social & community

Strategy, shoot days, editing and the daily work of responding to your audience. Organic content that sounds like you.

  • Channel strategy and content pillars
  • A monthly shoot day, at your premises or ours
  • Short-form video, edited in-house
  • Community management and inbox cover
  • Creator and influencer partnerships with proper contracts

Analytics & CRO

Most of the sites we take on are tracking the wrong thing, or counting it twice. We put that right first, because everything else relies on it.

  • GA4 and server-side tagging that works with consent mode
  • Conversion tracking that matches your own sales figures
  • Live Looker Studio dashboards instead of a monthly PDF
  • A/B tests on the pages that receive the most traffic
  • Session recordings and on-site surveys when the data can't explain why

Typical pricing

These are genuine starting prices, not teasers. We'll give you a firm quote once we understand your spend, your scale and the state your previous agency left things in.

Retainer

From £2,400 a month

One channel, looked after properly, on a rolling monthly contract with thirty days' notice.

  • A named lead, rather than an account manager
  • Weekly Slack updates and a monthly call
  • A live dashboard
  • Creative production included

Our most popular option

£4,800 to £9,000 a month

  • A quarterly strategy session at the studio
  • A shoot day each month
  • Priority on our development queue

Fixed fee

A single agreed price for the whole project, set before any work begins.

Prices exclude VAT and your media spend, which you pay straight to the platforms.

Common questions

Do you charge a percentage of our ad spend?

No. You pay the ad platforms directly on your own card, and you pay us a flat monthly fee. Charging a percentage of spend would reward us for spending more of your money, and that's not an incentive we want written into a contract.

When will we start to see results?

Usually two to four weeks for paid media and around a month for CRO. SEO takes three to six months before the results are convincing and about twelve before they're transformative. Anyone promising faster SEO is either not being honest or doing something you'll pay for later.

Can you work alongside our own team?

Often, yes. Around a third of our clients have someone in-house, and we cover the gaps, usually the technical or creative work nobody has time for. We're happy to join your Slack.

What happens if it isn't working?

We'll tell you on the monthly call instead of dressing it up. If the numbers haven't moved after three months and we can't explain why, we'd rather go our separate ways than keep sending invoices.

Is there a minimum contract term?

No. Everything, including brand and web retainers, runs month to month with thirty days' notice.

Do we need to be based in Birmingham?

Not at all. About half our clients are based elsewhere. We meet in person each quarter and handle everything else over video. We'll travel for shoot days and workshops, charged at cost.

Unsure where to start?

Send us your analytics and your target, and we'll show you where the biggest gap is, even if the honest answer is that you don't need an agency yet.
