Questions We Get Asked Every Week.

Honest answer: it depends on your starting point. For sites with strong technical foundations and existing domain authority, meaningful ranking improvements often appear within 60–90 days. For newer sites or those with significant technical issues, 4–6 months is more realistic. We set clear milestones at the start of every engagement so you always know what to expect and when.

Our retainers start at $2,000/month for SMBs and scale based on scope, site complexity, and competitiveness. We don't do fixed-price packages — every engagement is scoped to your situation. Download our SEO Pricing Guide for a detailed breakdown of what to expect at each investment level.

No — and be wary of any agency that does. Google's algorithm has 200+ ranking factors and changes frequently. No one can guarantee a specific position. What we guarantee is transparent, ethical work, a clear methodology, and monthly reporting showing exactly what's changing and why. Our 94% retention rate speaks to the results we deliver.

Three things: (1) We report on revenue, not rankings — every monthly report includes a pipeline attribution model. (2) You get a dedicated senior strategist, not a junior account manager. (3) We operate on rolling monthly contracts — we earn your business every month, not through lock-in paperwork.

Most sites need all three, but the prioritisation depends on your specific situation. We always start with a technical audit because technical issues can suppress the impact of everything else. From there we sequence based on what will move your needle fastest. We won't upsell you on services you don't need.

Yes — but the bar is higher. AI-generated content has flooded the web, which means well-researched, expert-written, E-E-A-T optimised content has never been more valuable. Google's systems are increasingly good at identifying genuine expertise and authority. The agencies winning in 2025 are the ones who never cut corners to begin with.

Our free audit covers: a technical crawl (200 checks), indexation analysis, Core Web Vitals assessment, keyword gap analysis vs. your top 3 competitors, and a content opportunity map. Delivered as a written report plus a 30-min Loom video walkthrough. No pitch, no hard sell — just the most useful diagnostic your site has ever had.

Absolutely. We integrate via Slack, Notion, or whatever project management tool you use. Many of our clients have in-house marketing teams — we slot in as the SEO specialists, handing off content briefs to in-house writers, providing technical recommendations for dev teams, and training your team on SEO fundamentals as we go.
