Question 1

How long before I see results?

Accepted Answer

Most clients see initial improvements within 4-6 weeks, with significant ranking changes in 3-4 months. Quick wins like GBP optimization and technical fixes often show results faster. SEO is a long-term investment, but I focus on getting you visible improvements as quickly as possible.

Question 2

Will this work for my business?

Accepted Answer

If you're a local service business that relies on customers finding you through Google — yes. I've helped plumbers, dentists, lawyers, HVAC companies, roofers, and dozens of other service businesses. The principles are the same: fix technical issues, build local relevance, and create content that answers customer questions.

Question 3

What if I don't see results?

Accepted Answer

I offer a 90-day guarantee. If you don't see measurable improvement in your rankings within 90 days, I'll continue working at no additional cost until you do. I'm confident in my process because I've seen it work hundreds of times.

Question 4

How much does local SEO cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on your market competition, current online presence, and goals. Most local service businesses invest between £800-£2,500/month. I'll give you a clear quote after the free audit — no hidden fees or long-term contracts required.

Question 5

Do I need to sign a long-term contract?

Accepted Answer

No. I work on a month-to-month basis. I believe results should keep you, not contracts. Most clients stay because they see consistent growth in leads and rankings.

Question 6

What's the difference between local SEO and regular SEO?

Accepted Answer

Local SEO focuses on ranking in your service area — appearing in Google Maps, local pack results, and location-based searches. Regular SEO targets broader, often national or global audiences. For service businesses, local SEO typically delivers faster ROI because you're competing with fewer businesses.

Question 7

Can I do SEO myself?

Accepted Answer

You can handle basics like keeping your GBP updated and responding to reviews. But competitive ranking requires technical expertise, consistent content, and link building that takes significant time. Most business owners find their time is better spent running their business while an expert handles SEO.

Question 8

How do you report on progress?

Accepted Answer

You'll receive monthly reports showing ranking changes, traffic growth, and lead generation. I also provide access to a live dashboard so you can check progress anytime. Transparency is non-negotiable — you'll always know exactly what's happening.
