SEO FAQs
What is your SEO billing model?
Each month you will retain us for a certain number of hours to work on your SEO campaign as well as any requests you may have. All of our ongoing campaigns are billed month-to-month and can be canceled at the end of any month.
Do you write the content for my website?
Yes, our talented in-house copywriting team can write content for your new website. Based on the amount of written content needed, we can provide a quote. For ongoing monthly clients, we will write SEO content for your website, including blog posts, service pages, or landing pages. You will have the option of approving any content that goes on the website first. If you would also like to write content, we can make any necessary SEO optimizations and post it.
What is SEO?
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, a process of optimizing a website’s content relevance, backlink popularity, and technical design to become high ranking in search engine results and increase organic traffic to your website.
How long should I do SEO?
SEO is a long-term strategy, and the duration depends on your business goals, competition, and industry. It typically takes 3 to 6 months to start seeing noticeable improvements in search rankings and organic traffic, depending on the competitiveness of your industry and the age of your website. Newer websites will typically take longer to improve target keyword rankings or search engine results.

Does Google Ads require verification?
Google reserves the right to verify your identity or business operations, and will notify you when they are ready to undergo the verification program and the associated deadline. We will guide you through the process if your business requires verification, but it is best to be prepared beforehand. Items they may request include business formation documents, videos or photos of physical business locations, and self identification cards. More information can be found here.
What are Google Search vs. Google Display Ads?
Google Search Ads are text ads that appear above and below organic Google search results and are priced at a cost per click basis. Google Display Ads contain text and images/videos and are placed on a wide range of websites and apps across the Google Display Network. Display Ads are priced on paid placements that appear based on various targeting parameters.
How much should my Google Ads budget be?
Your Google Ads budget depends on your goals, industry, and competitiveness. Google Search Ads are priced at a cost per click basis, so we recommend budgeting to purchase at least 100 clicks per month for optimal conversion rates. We will gather information from you during our consultation to help define this, and recommend a budget for Google Ads.
