Small Business SEO FAQ

How long does SEO take to work?

SEO is a long-term investment. Most websites start seeing meaningful improvement within 3-6 months, with results compounding over time. Local SEO can often show results faster, especially in less competitive markets.

Is SEO included when you build a website?

Yes, every website I build includes foundational SEO: proper site structure, optimized titles and meta descriptions, fast load times, and mobile optimization. Ongoing SEO services build on that foundation to actively grow your rankings and traffic.

Do you guarantee first-page rankings?

No honest SEO provider can guarantee specific rankings, because Google’s algorithm considers hundreds of factors that no one fully controls. What I can promise is proven best practices, transparent reporting, and a track record of getting small businesses onto the first page.

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

Local SEO focuses on ranking in your service area: Google Maps, “near me” searches, and location-specific results. Traditional SEO targets broader searches. Most small businesses benefit most from a local-first strategy, which is where I focus.

What other web services do you offer?

I also offer WordPress web design services, WordPress maintenance & care plans, and small business website hosting services.
