01
How much does SEO cost for a small business?
+
Google Maps starts at $1,497 a month. Google rankings start at $2,697 a month. Both go up for multiple locations, multiple websites and complexity. Where you land depends on your market: how many competitors you have, how many towns you want and how many services you sell. Getting named in AI answers is included in every plan, and there's no long contract.
02
How long does SEO take for a small business?
+
You should see movement early, and our guarantee is built on that. If you don't see visible improvement in your key metrics within the first 20 days, we refund $200 on top of returning your payment for that period. If your qualifying keywords aren't on the first page of Google within 60 days, we keep working for free until they are. A busy search in a big city takes longer to win than one service in your own town.
03
Is SEO worth it for a small business?
+
If customers search for what you sell, it's one of the few ways to get found that keeps working after you stop paying for it. An ad disappears when the budget runs out. A ranking doesn't. It's the wrong fit if your business is still under about $20,000 a month, because there isn't yet enough trade behind it to handle the extra calls well. That's why we don't take those clients.
04
Can I do SEO for my small business myself?
+
Some of it, yes. The four free steps on this page take an afternoon. What's hard to do alone is the steady monthly work: new pages, fixes to the site, mentions on real websites and checking where you rank, town by town. That's the part we take off your plate.
05
Do I need local SEO or regular SEO?
+
If customers come to you, or you go to them, start with local: the Google Maps box and the searches with your town in them. If you sell across the country or online, you need the normal Google results. Plenty of small businesses need both, and one plan can cover both.
06
Do I still need SEO if I already run Google Ads?
+
Ads buy the spots at the very top for as long as you pay. SEO earns the Maps box, the normal results and the AI answer below them, and those keep showing you after a campaign ends. They do different jobs, so lots of businesses run both.
07
How do small businesses show up in ChatGPT and Google's AI answers?
+
Those tools name businesses they can find clear, consistent information about: what you do, where you work and what others say about you. We write pages they can quote, keep your details the same everywhere online and check every month where you're named. It's included in every plan.
08
What exactly do you guarantee?
+
Two things, in writing. Visible improvement in your key metrics within 20 days, or your payment for that period back plus $200. And your qualifying keywords on page one of Google within 60 days, or we keep working for free until they are.
09
Am I locked into a contract?
+
No. It's month to month. We keep clients by keeping them ranked.
10
My website is old, or a relative built it. Is that a problem?
+
No. We work with the site you have. If something on it is holding you back, we fix it, or we hand whoever manages it a plain list of what to change.
11
What do I get every month?
+
A report in plain words: where you rank for each service and town, screenshots of the searches that matter, how many people called or sent an enquiry from Google, and what we're doing next.
12
Who is this for?
+
Established businesses in Canada and the US doing $20,000 a month or more. Very limited spots left for the month of October. We put a cap on clients we can take in to keep our promises.
