Common questions
What does an SEO agency do?
An SEO agency improves how often your site appears in unpaid search results: technical fixes, content, local listings and links, measured by rankings, organic traffic and leads.
How long does SEO take to show results?
Most engagements need several months before organic traffic moves meaningfully, which is why monthly retainers are the common pricing model. Ask any agency for a timeline tied to a baseline.
Do these agencies pay to be listed?
No. There is no paid placement. Listings and scores come only from public sources, and the methodology page explains every criterion.
