SEO FAQs 2026

What is SEO and Organic Search?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) focuses on improving your website’s visibility in organic search results, which are the listings on search engines that appear naturally (not paid ads). Keywords—the terms users type into search engines—play a central role in connecting your site with relevant searches.

Optimizing your site involves targeting the right keywords, improving content relevance, and aligning with Google’s ranking algorithms. This process helps your website climb the search engine results pages (SERPs) and reach the right audience at the right time.

Our team works with you to identify your core services or products, define target locations, and develop a tailored keyword strategy to enhance your organic visibility.

What is Local Search and Google Business Profile?

Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) allows businesses to list themselves online for free. Simply creating a listing is just the first step. To rank effectively in local searches, your listing and website must be optimized for:

• Local search queries
• Mobile users
• Voice-activated searches

Google Maps and local search now show businesses with location, reviews, directions, and click-to-call options directly in search results. With voice search growing, over 75% of spoken queries are answered from the top three search results. Optimizing for local SEO ensures your business is discoverable by nearby customers in real time.

How are SEO Results Achieved?

SEO is an ongoing process targeting two main areas:

• On-site SEO: Technical website optimizations such as page speed, mobile performance, structured data, content quality, and site architecture.
• Off-site SEO: External signals like backlinks, citations, social mentions, and local listings that influence domain authority and organic rankings.

Our SEO specialists continuously audit, optimize, and monitor your website’s technical elements and content to improve rankings, traffic, and overall digital performance.

How Long Does It Take to Rank Keywords?

SEO results depend on multiple factors:

• Website technical health
• Domain authority
• Competition level and location targeting
• User behavior and engagement
• Backlinks and social signals

With effective strategy, some improvements can be seen in as little as 4–6 weeks, while significant growth in traffic and rankings generally occurs within 3–6 months.

How Much Does SEO Cost?

SEO pricing varies based on:

• Industry competition
• Scope of targeting (local, regional, national, or global)
• Current domain authority
• Previous campaigns and investment

We work with your budget to create a campaign that delivers measurable growth, focusing on the metrics that matter for your business.

Do You Offer Performance Guarantees?

We do not offer blanket guarantees because SEO outcomes depend on many variables. Every campaign is customized to your business goals, competition, and market conditions.

Our approach is flexible, allowing for strategic pivots and adjustments based on new opportunities, ensuring your campaign adapts as your business grows.

Can You Reverse Google Penalties?

Yes. We handle both algorithmic and manual penalties:

• Algorithmic penalties: Triggered automatically by Google’s algorithm; usually reversed once issues are corrected.
• Manual penalties: Applied by a Google reviewer; may require more extensive fixes and a reconsideration request for removal.

Our team has a proven track record of diagnosing and resolving penalty issues to restore rankings and traffic.
