- How long before I see SEO results?
- Honest answer: 3-6 months for meaningful ranking improvements. SEO is a long game. Anyone promising first-page results in 30 days is either lying or using tactics that will get your site penalized. We set realistic expectations and deliver sustainable results.
- Do you work on sites you didn't build?
- Absolutely. Our SEO services work on any website, regardless of who built it or what platform it's on. WordPress, Shopify, SquareSpace, custom-coded: we can optimize it. If we find issues that require development work, we'll let you know.
- What's the difference between optimization and maintenance?
- SEO Optimization is a one-time project: we audit, fix, and optimize your site. Monthly Maintenance is ongoing: we monitor rankings, track competitors, make quarterly adjustments, and send monthly reports. Most businesses benefit from optimization first, then maintenance to keep momentum.
- Do you guarantee rankings?
- No, and neither should anyone else. Google's algorithm changes constantly, and no one controls it. What we guarantee is thorough, ethical optimization following current best practices. We've consistently improved rankings for our clients, but we won't make promises we can't keep.
- What does the monthly report include?
- Keyword ranking changes, organic traffic trends, top-performing pages, technical health status, and specific recommendations for the next month. No jargon-filled fluff: clear data showing what's working and what needs attention.
- Can I do SEO myself?
- Basic SEO? Sure: write good content, use descriptive titles, keep your site fast. But technical SEO, schema markup, competitor analysis, and strategic keyword targeting require specialized knowledge and tools. If you have the time and interest, we can teach you. If you'd rather focus on your business, that's what we're here for.
- How is this different from the SEO in your hosting plans?
- Our Growth and Fully Managed hosting plans include SEO as part of a broader website management service. This standalone SEO service is more focused and in-depth: it's for businesses who need dedicated SEO attention, especially if their site is hosted elsewhere or was built by another team.
