What does a website cost?

The cost of a website depends on your industry, how strong your competitors are online and what you want the site to achieve. MEANit provides pricing guidance on the Pricing page, but a detailed quote is only given after a short conversation to understand your goals, your current website, your brand and the content you need.

Are you the right web design agency fit for us?

MEANit focuses on growth minded professional services firms, mainly in the construction, financial and legal sectors in Ireland. The team can only take on a small number of new clients each month, so there is an initial conversation to check there is a good fit on both sides, without any hard sales pitches.

How long does a website take to design and develop?

Design and development work can take one to three weeks once all content is ready, but a full project typically runs four to eight weeks. Time is spent on discovery, planning, wireframes, design approvals and content gathering before development, testing and search engine optimisation.

Do you have a website design process?

Yes. MEANit follows a defined multi step website design process, from initial enquiry and discovery, through planning, wireframes and design, into development, testing, launch and ongoing support. The process is explained in more detail on the dedicated Our Process page.

Do you offer ongoing SEO search engine optimisation?

Yes. MEANit offers initial and ongoing SEO services to help firms in Ireland get found in Google and AI driven search results. Ongoing work focuses on improving visibility, attracting the right visitors and generating pre qualified leads rather than simply chasing traffic volume.

What is GEO Generative Engine Optimisation and AEO Answer Engine Optimisation?

GEO is Generative Engine Optimisation and AEO is Answer Engine Optimisation. Both relate to helping your content appear in AI driven answers and long form search queries, including voice search. MEANit treats GEO and AEO as part of good SEO practice, writing and structuring content so that it works for Google, AI overviews and other search platforms.

Do you offer ongoing website support and maintenance?

Yes. MEANit offers website support plans to keep WordPress sites secure, fast and up to date, with health checks, updates, monitoring and monthly reports. Clients are expected to be on a care plan if they want MEANit to work on their site on an ongoing basis.

Do you offer AI training?

MEANit provides AI training for its own clients, mainly for marketing teams. Training covers using AI for written, photographic and video content, chatbots, email, first draft proposals, recruitment documents and SEO tasks such as metadata and blog outlines.

Do you have an hourly web design rate?

Yes. MEANit has an hourly rate for ad hoc work and a lower rate for existing clients on support plans. In general, the agency prefers not to do one off work on websites it did not build, and will usually start with a website audit to see what is in place and what needs to be fixed.

Do you offer eCommerce website design?

MEANit can deliver eCommerce websites for manufacturers and professional services businesses where there is a clear path to a return on investment. The agency does not focus on traditional retail or hospitality eCommerce because of the high competition and investment required to be profitable in those markets.

Google Analytics 4 set up by our Dublin & Donegal based nerds

The so called digital landscape is very much data driven. Therefore an effective online presence is critical, especially for construction, financial, and legal services in Ireland. However, setting up Google Analytics, particularly the latest iteration, Google Analytics 4 (GA4), can be a wee bit of a challenge, to say the least. Complex integrations, nuanced data interpretations, it’s enough to have any business owner just ignore this valuable free tool.

The good news? You don’t have to go it alone. Expert guidance and streamlined setup services ensure accuracy and actionable insights. Save time and get results fast.

TALK TO US ABOUT GOOGLE ANALYTICS 4 SET UP

Your Google Analytics 4 Setup Partner in Ireland

We understand the challenges of navigating GA4. We literally use it for dozens and dozens of our SEO and Support clients across Ireland. That’s why we offer comprehensive services to establish a strong analytics foundation for your business.

What is Google Analytics 4?

Originally set up as UA or Urchin Analytics, this tool was bought by Google in 2005 and renamed Google Analytics. In 2023 this became GA4 or Google Analytics 4. Mainly to conform with privacy rules and GDPR. Google Analytics was a game-changer over the years, offering free and powerful website analytics to businesses of all sizes. Businesses can see how visitors interact with their websites, what content resonates and where improvements are needed.

GA4 represents the future of analytics, offering:

Cross platform insights: Track user or visitor journeys seamlessly across devices (desktop, mobile, app).

User centric focus: Gain a deeper understanding of your customers’ behaviours and preferences.

Enhanced tracking capabilities: Capture valuable data points to tailor or tweak your marketing strategies.

The story doesn’t end there. Google Analytics has continuously evolved to stay ahead of the curve. Mobile browsing became ubiquitous, necessitating the ability to track user journeys across multiple devices. Google responded with upgrades that allowed businesses to understand how visitors interacted with their websites on desktops, tablets, and smartphones. If you have not set up this tool, then you are probably spending your marketing budget based on a guess or hunch. Many people spend on Google Ads, mainly because it is so easy to set up.

Now, in a period of heightened user privacy concerns especially in Europe and the rise of complex customer journeys, Google Analytics 4 (GA4) has evolved. GA4 prioritises user privacy with features like anonymised data and user control options. It also focuses on cross platform tracking, giving businesses a clear holistic view of their customer interactions, regardless of the device used. All of this data is without identifying the user’s actual personal identity.

Ready to set up your Google Analytics 4? Here’s a simple guide

Create a Google Analytics Account: Sign up or log in using your existing Google account http://www.google.com/analytics/ . If you do not have a Google account you will be prompted and guided to create one.
Configure Your Property: In GA4, a “property” represents your website such as ours https://meanit.ie/ . Set up a dedicated property for GA4 data collection.
Install Tracking Code: Integrate the GA4 tracking code into your website. This code is crucial for collecting and sending data to your Analytics dashboard. Copy it from GA4 and paste it in to your website. Wherever your website platform recommends, such as the header section or ‘Head’ if it is a WordPress platform.
Set Up Data Streams: Identify and configure the data streams you need, whether from your website, apps, or other sources.
Verify Configuration: Ensure everything is set up correctly by checking real-time data and making necessary adjustments. You should see yourself as a visitor in GA4 if you browse your own website.

Why choose MEANit for your Google Analytics & GA4 setup?

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have known Michael, John and the team for many years and have also worked with them in a professional capacity on a number of client projects through my design studio, JKS Design, during that time.

I'm very particular about who I work with and expect suppliers to be approachable, easy to deal with and excellent at what they do... the MEANit team have this in spades! They are the web development team I recommend to my own clients and contacts. Professional, thorough and competitively priced. I'm always confident recommending them, knowing my clients will be well looked after. Janine Sullivan

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Web design & SEO that works. I can't recommend Michael and John & from Mean IT highly enough. From initial consultation, to implementing a plan and watching my website become a reality, nothing was ever a problem. I found Mean IT to be very professional & knowledgeable. Michael has been excellent giving me tips to help with my Google ranking and what is the best way to increase visitors and more importantly increasing sales on my website. My website is ranking number one in google for the services I offer, email enquiries and phone calls coming in every week, all from my website. I know this, as every time I ask where did they hear of my business and it's always the same, 'You where first on google'.  I look forward to adapting and upgrading my graphic design website in the future with Michael & the team. Thanks again for all your help and giving my business an excellent online presence.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I built my own website for my new business a couple of years ago and thought it was doing the job — until I realised it wasn’t bringing in any real leads. I recently invested in a new site with Michael and the team at MEANit Web and design, and the difference has been incredible. I’m now getting genuine enquiries & sales from people searching on Google for the services I provide. They took the time to understand my business, my location, and my audience — and built a site that actually works. Don’t make the mistake I did. Spend the money and get it done right — it’s worth every penny.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We approached Michael last year with the objective of upgrading our existing website. The experience has been fantastic, quick action and clear communication. John and Michael listened and delivered on our objectives. The new website has had a positive impact for us, successfully attracting oversea bookings before they arrive in Ireland. We are more than happy with Meanit, a positive experience and impact with constant help and support. They care and want the website to achieve its goals as much as we do as a small business we can’t thank you enough.
