Frequently asked questions
The process is very simple. If you're a realtor in Calgary, there are over 1000 other realtors who want to rank on the first page of Google. To do that, your SEO efforts have to be better that 990 other brokers. This is an example of a high competition search. On the other hand, you might be a physiotherapist in Grande Prairie or a car repair shop in Camrose - competition is much lower so you might only need a $500 a month budget for that level of SEO.
If you gave us one day's notice, we'd be fine with that. Were not in the business of hassling business owners for payment. Payments are made of the first of each month and if you want to end the service - just don't pay.
Absolutely! In fact, our premium SEO clients (most clients paying $2000 a month or more) get free social media management and Google Ads management! The free plans are low level service but that can save you a lot of money!
