General SEO Questions

What is SEO and why is it important?

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It's the practice of improving your website's visibility in search engine results pages (like Google) for relevant searches. It's important because higher visibility leads to more organic (non-paid) traffic, which can translate into more leads, customers, and revenue.

How long does it take to see results from SEO?

SEO is a long-term strategy. While some technical fixes might show results relatively quickly (weeks), significant improvements in rankings and organic traffic typically take anywhere from 3 to 6 months, and sometimes longer for highly competitive niches. Consistency is key.

What's the difference between On-Page, Off-Page, and Technical SEO?

On-Page SEO involves optimizing elements *on* your website itself, such as content quality, keyword usage, title tags, meta descriptions, header tags, internal linking, and image optimization.

Off-Page SEO focuses on activities performed *off* your website to build its authority and reputation. This primarily includes acquiring high-quality backlinks from other websites, but also encompasses brand mentions, social signals, and local citations.

Technical SEO deals with the website's infrastructure and backend elements to ensure it's easily crawlable, indexable, and understandable by search engines. This includes site speed, mobile-friendliness, site architecture, schema markup, XML sitemaps, and security (HTTPS).

Are SEO results guaranteed?

No reputable SEO provider can guarantee specific rankings (like "#1 on Google"). Search engine algorithms are complex, constantly changing, and influenced by numerous factors beyond any single agency's control. However, we guarantee that we will implement proven, ethical SEO strategies based on best practices, designed to significantly improve your visibility and performance towards achieving agreed-upon goals.

What are keywords and why do they matter?

Keywords are the words and phrases people type into search engines when looking for information, products, or services. They matter because optimizing your website content around relevant keywords helps search engines understand what your pages are about and match them to the right user searches, driving targeted traffic to your site.

Rankove Services & Process

What SEO services does Rankove offer?

How much do your SEO services cost?

Our pricing is tailored to the specific needs and goals of each client.

We offer various packages (visit our Pricing page for examples) and provide custom quotes after an initial consultation and analysis. We focus on delivering value and a positive return on investment.

How do you build backlinks? Are they safe?

We focus exclusively on ethical, white-hat link building strategies. This includes manual outreach to relevant websites, securing guest post opportunities on authoritative blogs, identifying broken link opportunities, creating link-worthy content, and building local citations where applicable. We strictly avoid tactics that violate search engine guidelines (like buying spammy links), ensuring the links we build are sustainable and beneficial for your site's long-term health.

How do you measure the success of an SEO campaign?

Success is measured against the specific goals set at the beginning of the campaign. Key performance indicators (KPIs) we track typically include: improvements in organic keyword rankings, growth in organic website traffic, increases in conversion rates (leads, sales, sign-ups) from organic visitors, enhancements in backlink profile quality and quantity, improved website authority metrics (e.g., Domain Rating), and better local visibility (Map Pack rankings, local traffic) if applicable.

How often will I receive reports?

We provide comprehensive performance reports typically on a monthly basis. These reports detail the activities undertaken, track progress on key metrics (rankings, traffic, conversions), provide analysis of the results, and outline the strategy and focus for the upcoming period. We believe in full transparency and ensure our reports are easy to understand.

Do I need to sign a long-term contract?

While SEO delivers the best results through consistent, ongoing effort (we often recommend initial commitments of 6-12 months for significant impact), we strive for flexibility. Depending on the specific service (like a one-time audit or project), we may offer different engagement models. We prefer to build long-term partnerships based on results and trust, rather than locking clients into overly restrictive contracts. We can discuss the best fit during our consultation.

What information do you need from me to get started?

To start, we typically need access to your website's backend (CMS login), Google Analytics, and Google Search Console accounts. We also need a clear understanding of your business goals, target audience, main competitors, and any past SEO work that has been done. An initial consultation call helps us gather this information effectively.
