-
SEO is a long-term strategy. You can typically expect to see initial improvements in 3-6 months, with significant results after 6-12 months of consistent optimisation. Local SEO often shows faster results than national SEO campaigns.
-
No ethical SEO company can guarantee specific rankings. Search algorithms change constantly, and rankings depend on many factors. We focus on sustainable, white-hat SEO practices that build long-term authority and visibility.
-
Local SEO targets customers in your geographic area (like Herefordshire), while national SEO targets a broader audience. For most small businesses, local SEO provides better ROI as it targets customers who can actually visit your business. Our local SEO services work best with mobile-first websites, as most local searches happen on mobile devices. If you need a new website, our web design services include mobile-first responsive design as standard.
-
Yes, you can cancel your SEO services with 30 days notice. However, we recommend maintaining your campaign for at least 6 months to see meaningful results. SEO is an investment in your long-term online presence.
