Growth and scalability

Scaling is a system, not a single campaign

  • TechnologyCan your site or app handle ten times the traffic without slowing down?
  • ConversionAre visitors turning into customers, or leaking out of the funnel?
  • VisibilityCan customers find you on Google and in AI answers?
  • AcquisitionCan you buy customers profitably on Meta, Google and Snapchat?
  • OperationsCan the business grow without hiring for every repetitive task?

“We'd been through two agencies before Bugs n Code. Both took our money and delivered half-finished products. These guys shipped our entire SaaS in five weeks — and stayed on to run our Meta ads. Night and day difference.”

FAQ

Common questions

Anything else? Call +44 7751 032366 or email connect@bugsncode.com.

How long does it take to build an MVP?

Most MVPs launch in 3 to 8 weeks, depending on scope. You will see wireframes and a clickable prototype in the first week, and staging links throughout the build.

How do you price projects?

Fixed scope or transparent hourly, whichever suits you. You will receive a written proposal within 48 hours of the discovery call, with no surprise invoices.

What is the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?

SEO helps your pages rank in search results. AEO (answer engine optimisation) structures your content so it is chosen as the direct answer in featured snippets and voice assistants. GEO (generative engine optimisation) helps AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity understand, cite and recommend your brand. We usually run all three together.

Which ad platform should I use: Meta, Google or Snapchat?

It depends on your customers. Google Ads captures people already searching for what you sell. Meta Ads are strong for discovery and retargeting with visual creative. Snapchat reaches younger audiences with vertical video. We recommend a channel mix after reviewing your product, margins and audience.

Do you work with existing Shopify or WooCommerce stores?

Yes. We redesign themes, add features, fix speed issues, migrate between platforms and run growth work such as conversion optimisation, SEO and paid ads on stores that are already live.

What is a scalability review?

A structured look at your technology, conversion funnel, marketing channels and operations to find what will break as you grow. You get a prioritised 90-day roadmap, and our team can implement it with you.

Who will I actually work with?

The people building your product. Projects are run by small, senior-led teams of 4 to 6 people across design, engineering and growth, with no account-manager middlemen.

Do you support the product after launch?

Yes. We set up analytics, run ad campaigns and tune SEO after go-live, and we stay on for ongoing development. There are no long-term contracts.
