COMMON QUESTIONS

FAQ

How long until I see ranking results?

Local maps 3-pack visibility and citation sync improvements typically appear within 45–60 days. Organic keyword climb for multi-page content silos typically matures between 60–90 days across competitive markets.

Do I need an existing website to use your SEO plans?

For the Local SEO plan ($300/mo), only an active Google Business Profile is required. For SEO + GBP Growth and Regional Dominance, an active website is necessary to deploy structured schemas and localized service silos.

Is Google Ads spend or lead-broker fees included in the monthly retainer?

No. Retainers strictly cover organic search engine optimization, Google Business Profile management, technical Core Web Vitals maintenance, and citation synchronization. Any advertising budget (Google Local Services Ads or Google PPC) is paid directly by you to Google with zero agency markup.

Are there long-term contracts or lock-in terms?

All SEO retainers are month-to-month with no multi-year lock-in contracts. You retain 100% legal ownership of your website code, Google Business Profile, citation listings, and analytics data from day one. You can read our detailed cost breakdown in our Contractor SEO Pricing Guide.
