FAQ
Everything You Need to Know About SEO
It depends on your runway. SEO takes six to twelve months to produce meaningful traffic, so if you need customers next month, put the money into ads. If you expect to be here in two years, starting now is far cheaper than starting later.
Less than most agencies will quote you. A focused engagement on a small number of winnable pages beats a large retainer spread thin. We would rather do a narrow scope properly than take a budget that forces shallow work across fifty keywords.
Not on the head terms, not for a while. What works is finding the specific searches incumbents ignore, usually longer and more precise queries with clear intent. You win those first, build authority, and move upward from there.
Early movement on low competition terms often appears within two to three months. Traffic that affects the business usually arrives between month six and month twelve. A brand new domain sits at the slower end of that because it has no history to build on.
Content first, almost always. Links pointing at pages that do not deserve to rank is wasted budget. Get a small number of genuinely good pages live, then build authority to them once they exist.
Some of it, yes. Founders often write better content than agencies because they understand the problem. What usually needs outside help is the technical diagnosis and the link building, since both take tools and relationships that take years to build.
