Frequently Asked Questions

The Marketing MOT is £295 as a one-off, and Found & Filmed is £995 a month. If your business has more than one location, Found & Filmed is £450 a month on top for each extra one. Websites are priced after a quick chat, and other one-off projects once I know what they need to do. A website I build comes with Website Care at £45 a month.

Yes, that’s exactly what the Marketing MOT is for, and it costs £295. I check six things: AI search, Google, your website, your reviews, your social media and two of your local competitors, who go through the same checks so you see them side by side with you. You get a score out of 100 and a plain English PDF with the three things to fix first, back within 48 hours. The £295 isn’t discounted or taken off anything later, and the report is yours to keep.

You order it on the MOT page with a short form about your business, no need to speak to me first. Once your order comes through I email you an invoice for the £295, and the report comes back with your score and the three things to fix first. If you want to go through any of it afterwards, book a call.

Found & Filmed is my retainer, at £995 a month, and it’s the only one I offer. It covers getting you found on Google and in AI search, a filming day on site with you each quarter, the video and stills from it edited and captioned, posting and scheduling, replies, hosting and care for your website, and a monthly report with a call. It’s rolling monthly, with 30 days’ notice either way.

No. Social media is one part of Found & Filmed. The bigger part is getting you found when somebody looks for what you do in your town, on Google or by asking ChatGPT. The posts come from the video and stills I take on the quarterly filming days, and hosting and care of your website are included too.

No. Found & Filmed is one monthly price for the whole service, not a bundle of hours or a set number of posts. The amount of video and stills from a filming day comes down to what we film.

Yes, on Found & Filmed I spend a filming day on site with you every quarter, filming video and taking stills of your business. The MOT is done remotely, so you don’t need me there for that one.

It’s the same Found & Filmed package, at £995 a month for the first location and £450 a month on top for each extra location. So a business with two sites would pay £1,445 a month, and one with three sites would pay £1,895 a month.

Start steady with the MOT if you don’t know where your marketing stands, because for £295 it shows how you come up on Google and in AI search and exactly what to fix first. If you already know you want the quarterly filming days and somebody getting you found every month, go straight to Found & Filmed, and add locations when you want more. The £295 isn’t taken off Found & Filmed afterwards, because the two are separate.

Yes, websites are built as projects and priced after a quick chat, and so are copywriting, brand and graphic design, strategy, AI and automation setups and email campaigns. Each one is scoped first, so you know what it costs before anything starts.

You deal with me, Norton Hunt. I do the web and video work myself, and a couple of remote specialists help me with some of the marketing, but you’re never handed over to an account manager.

No, North Bear Media isn’t VAT registered, so no VAT is added to any of my prices, including the £295 MOT and the £995 a month for Found & Filmed.

At North Bear Media in Belper, a website is priced after a quick chat, so you get the figure before any work starts. Every site I build comes with Website Care at £45 a month. If you’re on Found & Filmed at £995 a month, hosting and care are already included.

A website for a Derby business costs the same with me as anywhere else, because each one is priced after a quick chat about what it needs to do, not where you’re based. I’m in Belper, just up the A6, so coming to see you in Derby isn’t a problem. Like every site I build, it comes with Website Care at £45 a month.

Yes. The cheapest way to get a website in Derby is to make it yourself on a site builder, where you pay a monthly fee and put the pages together on your own. Weigh that against what the site has to do for you. My comparison of DIY and professional websites in Derby goes through both.

It comes down to the size of the site, and two of my Google reviews give a guide: Nicholas Westray says the logo and website for Industrial Warehaus Property Group were done within 10 days of his first Teams call with me, and Sarah Woodman of Enso HR Consultancy says hers took around three to four weeks from first conversation to going live. I agree a timeline with you before I start, and a lot of it comes down to how quickly the words and photos come together.

I use a website builder or build from scratch, whichever suits the business. Willis Cooper’s site was built on Hostinger Website Builder and IWPG’s was built from scratch. The WordPress site I look after is Steadplan’s, and another agency built that one before I took it over. I’ll tell you which route I’d take for yours, and why, before anything starts.

Yes. I design for phones first, because that’s where most people look you up, then check it works properly on bigger screens before it goes live.

Every website I build comes with Website Care at £45 a month, and on Found & Filmed hosting and care for your website are already in the £995 a month.

I’ll look at what you’ve got and tell you straight. If it’s sound and just needs updating, I’ll work with what’s there. If it’s slow or it isn’t bringing enquiries in, rebuilding it is usually better value than fixing one thing after another. The website check in the £295 MOT tells you exactly where it stands.

Look at a few websites they’ve already built and try them on your phone. If they’re slow or the phone number is hard to find, yours will end up the same. I’m in Belper and build websites across Derbyshire, Ilkeston included, and over the border in Eastwood, and my guide to web designers in Belper and Derbyshire compares a few of us.

Yes. Getting found on Google and in AI search is part of Found & Filmed, and the £295 MOT shows where you come up now for the searches that matter. No honest agency promises a set position on Google, but I do the work that gets you up there.

Local SEO is making sure your business comes up when people nearby search for what you do, in Google’s map results and the normal results underneath. For a plumber in Belper or a café in Matlock, it matters because the people searching already want what you sell. It feeds into AI search as well, because assistants like ChatGPT lean heavily on the same reviews and listings when they suggest somebody local.

It takes months, not weeks. Many businesses start to see movement within three to six months, with bigger gains over six to twelve. Your competition and your starting point set the pace, and searches in smaller towns like Belper or Ripley move faster than Derby.

Yes, if you serve local customers. It’s free, and it’s what gets you into the map results when somebody searches for your trade in your town. I check it in the Google part of the MOT.

I do commercial photography for businesses, so team photos and headshots, products, buildings, vehicles, events and the everyday work that shows what you do. I shoot at your place or wherever the work happens, mostly around Belper and the rest of Derbyshire, and you get edited, high-resolution images for your website and for print.

Yes. It makes a real difference, because people can spot a stock photo and it makes a business look generic. Photos of the people who actually work for you show customers who they’ll be dealing with before they ring. On Found & Filmed you get new ones every quarter from the filming days.

I make brand films, social media videos, promotional videos, interviews, testimonials and event coverage, and I do the filming and editing myself. I also make Work Here films, which are short recruitment films showing what it’s like to work somewhere, for businesses that are struggling to hire. Each video is planned around where it’s going to be used, on your website or your social media.

On Found & Filmed, a filming day on site each quarter is included in the £995 a month, with the video and stills edited and captioned. A one-off shoot is done as a project, so I find out what you need from it and give you a price before anything’s booked. Work Here films are priced after a quick chat.

North Bear Media does. It’s based in Belper, and I’m Norton Hunt, the one who does the filming and editing. Most of what I make is video for businesses’ websites and social media, and I also make short recruitment films called Work Here films. I film across Derby and the rest of Derbyshire too, and Found & Filmed includes a filming day on site every quarter.

Watch a few films they’ve already made and ask where each one was used, because a film for your website and clips for social media get planned differently, and a good company asks you that early on. I’m based in Belper and film for businesses in Derby, and my videography page for Derby has more on how I work.

With me, content creation is part of Found & Filmed at £995 a month, which includes a filming day on site each quarter, the video and stills edited and captioned, posting and scheduling, and the replies. A one-off shoot is priced as a project once I know what you need. I’m based in Belper and work mostly across Derbyshire and the East Midlands.

Yes, I design logos and the rest of a brand identity, the colours, fonts, brand guidelines, social media templates and marketing materials, so that everything you put out looks like it comes from the same business. It’s done as a project, scoped first. I designed the logo for Industrial Warehaus Property Group.

A graphic designer makes the visual side of a business, from the logo and brand to brochures, social media graphics, signage and packaging. Good design helps people trust you before they’ve spoken to you, which matters a lot when they’re comparing you with competitors in the same town.

Not necessarily. If your logo works but it’s used inconsistently, a set of brand guidelines brings everything into line without starting again. I’ll look at what you’ve got and tell you the cheapest route that does the job.

North Bear Media does, from Belper, with logos and brand work done as projects, and you’d have a price from me before I start on it. I work with businesses in Belper and across the rest of Derbyshire, and we can meet at your place or in town, whichever suits you.

Mostly Derbyshire and the East Midlands, from my base in Belper, because the filming days on Found & Filmed mean coming out to you every quarter. The MOT and a lot of the web work don’t need me on site, so I also work with businesses further away, like Steadplan in Lancashire and IWPG in London.

It’s me, Norton Hunt. A couple of remote specialists in other parts of the country help with some of the marketing for clients, but the web and video side is mine.

If you’d like me to look at where you stand first, order the £295 Marketing MOT on the MOT page, and if you’d rather talk first, book a call. You can also use the contact form, ring 01773 307 308, email info@northbearmedia.co.uk or WhatsApp 07985 345 147, and I’ll reply myself.
