Good questions
SEO, without the mystery.
A few basics about how we help businesses improve their search presence.
What is local SEO?
Local SEO helps a business become more visible in geographically relevant searches. It can include your Google Business Profile, local landing pages, accurate business details, reviews, and locally relevant content.
Can you improve my existing website?
Yes. Depending on your site, improvements may include page structure, content, metadata, internal links, mobile usability, and calls to action. Sometimes a rebuild makes more sense than continuing to patch an unsuitable site.
How long does SEO take?
Timelines vary with competition, site condition, location, and the work involved. SEO is an ongoing process, and no provider can responsibly guarantee a specific ranking or timeline.
Do I need a new website to rank?
Not necessarily. A well-built existing website may only need focused improvements. A new website can be useful when the current one has major usability, technical, or content limitations.
What should I prepare for an initial conversation?
Bring your website URL if you have one, the services you want to grow, your target service area, and any search or website performance data you already use.
