Your SEO questions, answered
How quickly does SEO start working?
Most businesses see early movement within 2–3 months, with more noticeable gains between 3–6 months. SEO isn’t instant – but unlike paid ads, the results keep building even after your budget stays flat.
Do I still need SEO if I’m already running ads?
Yes – and here’s why. Ads stop the moment you stop paying. SEO builds visibility that keeps delivering without paying for every click. The two work best together: ads for immediate reach, SEO for sustainable, long-term leads.
What does “managed SEO” actually mean?
It means we do the work for you. Keyword research, technical fixes, content, reporting – our specialists handle it all. You don’t need to learn SEO or manage an agency brief. We’re accountable for your results.
Can SEO work in my industry?
If customers search online for what you do – and in trades, automotive, and professional services they absolutely do – then yes. The right strategy varies by sector and location, which is why we start with an audit, not assumptions.
Will my SEO rankings drop if I stop?
Over time, yes – particularly if competitors keep investing. Search engines favour sites that are regularly updated and improved. That’s why ongoing, managed SEO consistently outperforms one-off work.
Are you a Google or Microsoft partner?
We’re one of the UK’s top Google Partners, a Microsoft Elite Advertising Partner, and a Meta Partner. That means our team gets early access to platform updates and insights that directly benefit your campaigns.
What if I’m not happy with the results?
We offer a leads guarantee – if we don’t deliver the agreed results, you get your money back. We stand behind our work, which is why we start with a thorough audit before recommending anything.
What’s the difference between Local SEO and Premier SEO?
Local SEO is an add-on to our Amplify or Accelerate marketing solutions – ideal if you serve specific towns or areas and want a steady stream of local enquiries. Premier SEO is a fully bespoke strategy for businesses with larger websites, multiple locations, or more competitive markets.
What does the free audit actually cover?
In 30 minutes, one of our specialists will show you where your business is missing visibility online, what’s holding your rankings back, how you compare to competitors in your area, and which SEO approach fits your goals – no jargon, or obligation to proceed.
How do you measure whether SEO is working?
We track what actually matters to your business: keyword rankings, website traffic from search, and – most importantly – leads. That means calls, enquiries, and form submissions. You get transparent reporting every step of the way.
