How long until I see results in search after my site launches?

Most clients begin seeing measurable improvements in impressions and clicks within 60–90 days. Rankings in competitive markets take longer — 3–6 months is a realistic baseline. SEO is compound; the earlier you start, the faster you compound gains.

What does 'SEO optimised' actually mean for my website?

It means your site is built with the technical foundations that Google requires to crawl, index, and rank your pages: fast load speeds, semantic heading structure, descriptive URLs, schema markup, optimised metadata, and a clean internal link architecture — all verified before launch.

Do you conduct keyword research before building?

Yes — always. We map target keywords to specific pages before design begins, so every page is built to rank for a specific intent rather than trying to rank for everything from the homepage.

Will my site pass Google's Core Web Vitals?

Yes. Core Web Vitals compliance is a launch requirement, not an optional add-on. We test LCP, CLS, and INP across mobile and desktop and resolve any failures before handing the site over.

Do I need ongoing SEO work after the site launches?

Technical SEO is handled at build time and holds long-term. Content SEO — publishing new articles, expanding service pages, building topical authority — is ongoing and is where most long-term ranking gains come from. We can provide this as an add-on.

How is an SEO-optimised site different from a regular website?

A regular website is built for aesthetics; an SEO-optimised site is built for discoverability. The difference shows up in page structure, URL naming, heading hierarchy, image alt text, internal linking, load speed, and structured data — all designed so search engines can confidently understand and rank your pages.

Do you set up Google Search Console and Google Analytics?

Yes. Search Console verification and sitemap submission are included. We also set up a basic GA4 configuration so you can track organic traffic from day one.

What CMS or platform do you build on?

Platform choice is driven by your SEO goals and operational needs. We build on platforms that give full control over technical SEO — no black-box builders that hide canonical tags or block crawlers.

Can you audit my existing site rather than rebuilding from scratch?

Yes — a full technical SEO audit is available as a standalone engagement. We identify issues, prioritise fixes by impact, and can implement them without a full rebuild if your existing site has a solid foundation.

How do you measure whether the SEO is working?

We track organic impressions, clicks, average position, and Core Web Vitals via Search Console. We set baseline benchmarks at launch and review them with you at 30, 60, and 90 days post-launch.

Is SEO guaranteed to rank me at the top of Google?

No — and anyone who promises that is misleading you. What we guarantee is that your site will have the correct technical foundation for search engines to crawl and rank it, and we'll document that foundation clearly. Rankings are earned through content quality, authority, and time.

What's included in the post-launch technical audit?

A structured review of crawl coverage, index status, Core Web Vitals scores, schema validation, redirect chains, broken links, and canonical tag accuracy — delivered as a prioritised report within 14 days of launch.

Walk me through your process from first call to launch.

Week 1: discovery call, keyword research, competitor analysis. Weeks 2–3: site architecture and design approval. Weeks 3–5: build with schema, performance, and SEO integrated. Week 5–6: pre-launch technical audit, Search Console setup, final review. You receive a written SEO foundation report at handoff.

Do you need to be based in my city to handle local SEO?

No. Local SEO is research and content — we study your market, competitors, and local search patterns using the same tools any local agency uses. We serve clients across the US remotely and achieve the same results.
