Common Questions

Everything You Want to Know

SEO and GEO campaigns typically show measurable traction within 60–90 days, with compounding growth from month 4 onwards. GBP Optimization and Social Media campaigns can show results within the first 2–4 weeks. Web Development projects deliver on an agreed timeline, usually 6–12 weeks. We set realistic milestones in your first strategy session so you always know what to expect.

Yes, we work with clients globally. Our current client base spans the UK, US, UAE, Australia and Canada. All strategy and communication is handled remotely via dedicated Slack channels and bi-weekly video calls. Time-zone differences have never been a barrier; we structure our team to cover multiple time zones.

Three things: First, every client is handled by a senior specialist, never an account manager or junior who learned SEO last month. Second, we don't lock you in with vanity metrics. We report on revenue, leads and pipeline: the numbers that matter to your business. Third, we're ahead of the curve: GEO, AI Search Optimization and Voice are services most agencies don't offer yet, and we've been delivering results in these channels for two years.

GEO is the practice of optimising your brand and content so that AI platforms (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot) recommend and cite you in their responses. It's the evolution of SEO for the AI era. We structure your content, build authoritative entity signals and secure digital PR placements that cause LLMs to treat your brand as the credible, go-to source in your category.

For qualifying clients, yes. We offer a hybrid retainer model where a portion of our fee is tied to agreed KPIs: organic traffic, leads, or revenue milestones. This structure is available after an initial audit phase so we can set targets we're confident in. Book a free growth audit call to discuss whether you qualify for a performance agreement.

We'll review your current digital presence before the call so the time is spent giving you actionable insights, not asking basic questions. After the call you'll receive a written audit report regardless of whether we work together. No hard sell, no obligation.
