Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our WordPress and SEO services, how we work and what happens on your free consultation call.
General & free consultation
What happens during the free consultation?
It's a 30-minute video or phone call with a senior SEO specialist. We review your website, rankings and Core Web Vitals, discuss your goals and share the quickest wins. There's no obligation.
How do I book a consultation?
Use the booking form to choose a preferred date, time slot, time zone and meeting format (Google Meet, Zoom or phone). We confirm by email with a calendar invite within one business day.
Do I need to prepare anything for the call?
No preparation is required. If you can, share your website and your main goals in the form, so we can review your site before the call and make the most of the time.
How long does SEO take to show results?
Technical and on-page fixes can lift rankings within weeks. Sustained traffic and lead growth usually builds over 4–6 months and compounds from there.
Do you work with businesses outside the USA?
Yes. Most of our clients are in the United States, and we also work with businesses across Canada, the UK, Europe and Australia, including multi-country international SEO projects.
Do you only work with WordPress websites?
No. We build websites on WordPress, and we provide SEO for WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace and Webflow sites. We'll tell you honestly during your free consultation whether your current platform fits your goals.
Are your link building methods safe?
Yes. We only use white-hat methods: manual outreach, guest posts on real sites with genuine traffic and digital PR. We never use private blog networks or automated link schemes.
Working with us
Who will I work with?
You work directly with senior specialists: the developer who builds your website and the strategist who runs your SEO. There's no hand-off to a junior account team.
How do you report on results?
You get a monthly report and call covering rankings, organic traffic, leads and conversions, plus a log of every change we made and every link we built.
Do you offer ongoing website maintenance?
Yes. We can handle WordPress core, theme and plugin updates, backups, security monitoring, uptime checks and small content changes every month.
Can you work with our existing developer or marketing team?
Yes. We regularly collaborate with in-house teams and other agencies, sharing access, documentation and recommendations so everyone stays aligned.
WordPress Website Design & Development
How long does a WordPress website project take?
Most small-business websites launch in 4–8 weeks, depending on page count, content readiness and integrations. Larger builds with custom functionality typically take 8–12 weeks.
Will I be able to edit the website myself?
Yes. We build with the native WordPress block editor and custom patterns, then record a training walkthrough so your team can add pages, posts and landing pages confidently.
Can you redesign my existing WordPress site without hurting SEO?
Yes. We crawl your current site, map every URL, keep or improve on-page SEO and set up 301 redirects before launch, then monitor Search Console closely for the first weeks.
Full-Service SEO (Technical, On-Page & Content)
How long does SEO take to work?
Technical fixes can show impact within weeks. Meaningful traffic and lead growth usually builds over 4–6 months, with compounding results after that.
Do you require long-term contracts?
No. After an initial 3-month engagement, our SEO retainers run month to month. We keep clients by showing results.
What does a technical SEO audit include?
Crawl and indexation analysis, site architecture, duplicate content, canonicals, redirects, structured data, Core Web Vitals and a prioritized fix list ranked by impact.

Local SEO & Google Business Profile Optimization
What is Google Business Profile optimization?
It is the process of completing and refining every part of your Google Business Profile, including categories, services, photos, posts and reviews, so Google understands your business and ranks it for relevant local searches.
Do you manage my Google Business Profile every month?
Yes. Our local SEO plans include ongoing maintenance: posts, review replies, updates, photo uploads and monitoring for unwanted edits.
Can you do local SEO for multiple locations?
Yes. We manage multi-location brands with a profile, landing page and citation set for each location, plus roll-up reporting.

International SEO for Multi-Country Businesses
Should I use subfolders or country domains for international SEO?
Subfolders (example.com/uk/) are usually the best balance of authority and cost. Country domains send the strongest local signal but need separate authority building. We recommend based on your goals.
What is hreflang and do I need it?
hreflang tells search engines which language or regional version of a page to show each user. If you have similar content for different countries or languages, you need it.
Can you handle SEO in languages other than English?
Yes. We work with native-speaking specialists for keyword research and content review in each target language.

Site Speed & Core Web Vitals Optimization
Does website speed affect SEO?
Yes. Core Web Vitals are part of Google's page experience signals, and faster pages also lower bounce rates and raise conversion rates, both of which support SEO results.
Can you guarantee a 100 PageSpeed score?
We focus on passing Core Web Vitals for real users, which is what Google measures. Most of our projects reach 90+ lab scores on mobile, but we never trade working functionality for a number.
Will speed optimization break my site?
We make changes on a staging copy first, test key templates and user journeys, then deploy with backups and a rollback plan.
Rank-Boosting Growth SEO Campaigns
Which platforms do you run SEO campaigns on?
WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace and Webflow. We work inside your existing platform and design, so there's no need to rebuild or migrate your website to see results.
How is a growth SEO campaign different from regular SEO?
Ongoing SEO improves the whole site. A growth campaign focuses resources on a small set of high-value pages for 90 days, so you see measurable ranking gains faster.
Can you guarantee first-page rankings?
No honest agency can guarantee rankings, because Google controls the results. We set clear targets based on data and report weekly so you always know where things stand.
Do I need ongoing SEO as well?
Not necessarily. Many clients run a growth sprint on its own, then decide whether to continue with another sprint or a full-service retainer.
Guest Posting & White-Hat Link Building
What is white-hat link building?
White-hat link building earns links through legitimate outreach, valuable content and real relationships, in line with Google's spam policies. It avoids paid link schemes, private blog networks and automated spam.
How do you choose guest posting sites?
We check topical relevance, real organic traffic, outbound link patterns and editorial standards. Sites that exist only to sell links are rejected.
How many links will I get each month?
It depends on your goals, competition and budget. We agree on monthly targets up front and report every live link with its metrics.
