Common Questions

How long until I see results? SEO is a long-term strategy. While we make foundational improvements in the first month, significant ranking improvements typically take 3-6 months for competitive keywords. You'll receive monthly reports tracking progress throughout.

What do you need from me to get started? We need your website URL, a list of services or keywords you want to rank for, and admin access to your website (like WordPress login) so we can make optimizations.

Who writes the content? Our professional content team writes all new pages and blog posts. Everything is optimized for your target keywords and written to convert visitors into customers.

What's the difference between on-page and off-page SEO? On-page SEO involves optimizing elements on your website (content, keywords, site speed). Off-page SEO involves building your site's authority through high-quality backlinks from other websites. We handle both.

Do I need the Local SEO add-on? If your business serves a specific area (like a plumber, dentist, or restaurant), yes. Local SEO helps you appear in the Google Maps results that show for local searches.

Can I cancel anytime? Yes. SEO is a monthly service with no long-term contracts. However, we recommend committing to at least 6 months to see meaningful results from the strategy.

How do I check my progress? Log in to your account, go to Manage Services, and view your SEO subscription card to access your latest monthly report.
