Frequently asked questions
Do I need a big budget for SEO?
No. Many of the highest-impact fixes, like consistent listings, clear service pages and reviews, cost more time than money. We start with what will make the biggest difference.
Can I do some of it myself?
Yes. My beginner's guide to GEO has a checklist you can start this week. I can handle the parts that need specialist skills.
