When to pick Yell
Pick Yell if you want one supplier handling everything - website, ads management, listings, PPC - and you have the budget for it. Their digital marketing solutions are advertised from £249 a month, and for a business spending serious money on advertising, one account manager across the lot has genuine value. Two things before you sign: check the contract length, and read their reviews on both Trustpilot and Reviews.io yourself. Make your own mind up.
Visit Yell →When to pick Seenely
Pick Seenely if what you actually need is a good website, not a marketing package. £20 a month flat, no contract, cancel any time. You send changes by email or WhatsApp and we make them the same day. The content is yours. If you want ads later, you can buy them from anyone - including Yell.
Request your siteCommon questions
Can I move my website away from Yell?
The site itself, usually not - Yell websites are built and hosted on Yell's platform, so what typically leaves with you is your domain and your content, not the working site. Ask Yell exactly what transfers before you sign, and again before you leave. If you move to Seenely, we rebuild your content on our platform, point your domain at us, and everything on the site belongs to you from day one.
Why is Yell so much more expensive?
Because you're not just buying a website. Yell's advertised packages start at £249 a month and bundle marketing services - ads management, listings, PPC - with an account team behind them. If you use all of that, the price can add up fairly. If you only wanted the website, you're paying for services you don't use. Seenely is £20 a month because a website is the only thing we sell.
Is Seenely just a template?
It starts from one, deliberately. Our layouts are built for UK sole traders - plumbers, electricians, gardeners, instructors - with the things that win calls already in place: call-out fees, postcodes covered, Gas Safe and NICEIC badges, live Google reviews. Then we customise the colours, photos, copy and prices to your business. You're not paying £249 a month for bespoke design at Yell either - the difference is what sits around the site, not the site itself.
