What small business owners ask before hiring an SEO agency.
Depends on your starting point. Technical fixes often produce movement within 4 to 8 weeks because they remove the things actively holding the site back. Content and link building results tend to appear in 3 to 6 months. For a new site starting from zero, plan for 6 to 12 months before significant organic traffic. We will tell you what to expect at the audit stage based on your specific situation, and we put it in writing.
No. Any agency that does is either misleading you or targeting keywords that nobody is searching. Google's algorithm changes regularly, competition levels vary by keyword, and results depend on factors outside any agency's control. What we guarantee is documented work, transparent reporting, and consistent professional effort.
We crawl your site, check your current keyword positions, review your Google Business Profile if you have one, and look at your top competitors. You receive a written summary covering the technical issues we found, your current ranking situation, and a plain-English assessment of the opportunity. It takes us a couple of hours and you pay nothing for it.
Yes. Penalty recovery is one of our six services. Most of the penalties we see come from two causes: toxic backlinks from previous bad-practice link building, or thin/duplicate content that triggers a quality penalty. We diagnose which type you have, document the fix, and submit the reconsideration request or disavow file as required. We have successfully recovered sites from both manual and algorithmic penalties.
Yes. We are based in Lexington but we work with clients across the US. Most of our work is done remotely and the results are the same regardless of location. Our Kentucky focus is about who we know and understand as a market, not where we will and won't work.
The work and the rankings belong to you. We do not hold anything hostage. At the end of a package we offer either a fresh scope for the next phase or a lighter ongoing maintenance option. Many clients continue with us on a reduced monthly basis after their main package is complete. But there is no obligation and no lock-in.
Screaming Frog for technical crawls, Ahrefs for keyword research and backlink analysis, Google Search Console and Analytics 4 for traffic and performance data, and Looker Studio for client dashboards. We are not tied to any single toolset, but these are what we use day to day.
The packages on this site are fixed-scope engagements. For ongoing monthly retainer SEO, we scope and quote those separately. Most retainers come from clients who complete a fixed-scope package and want to continue. Contact us to discuss what ongoing support would look like for your specific situation.
Every month you receive a written report that lists the specific actions taken: pages optimised, links built, technical issues resolved, content published. The Looker Studio dashboard shows live data between reports. You are never guessing whether work happened.
