Frequently Asked Questions
How long does SEO take to show results? Most clients see noticeable improvements in 60-90 days, with significant ranking gains and traffic increases within 3-6 months. SEO is a long-term investment that compounds over time.
Do you guarantee first-page rankings? We don't make unrealistic guarantees—no ethical SEO company can guarantee specific rankings. However, we do guarantee transparent communication, proven strategies, and measurable progress toward your goals.
What's the difference between SEO and Google Ads? SEO builds long-term organic visibility that doesn't require ongoing ad spend. Google Ads deliver immediate traffic but stop when you stop paying. We recommend both for comprehensive coverage, but prioritize SEO for sustainable growth.
How much does internet marketing cost? Investment varies based on your market competition, service area size, and current online presence. Most local service businesses invest $800-$2,500 monthly for comprehensive SEO and Google Business management.
