Frequently asked questions

Direct answers before a proposal.

Search the questions or filter by topic. Where an answer depends on the website, market or available data, we say so.

01
Which service should we start with?

Start with the constraint, not the service name. Share the website, business target and current evidence. We will identify whether the first need is technical, content, media, web, local, ecommerce, AI search, automation or a joined scope.

02
Can one service run on its own?

Yes. A focused project can stand alone, but the plan still accounts for nearby dependencies so the work can be implemented and measured properly.

03
How are fees set?

Fees are based on the question, market, technical condition, access, production responsibility, timing and reporting need. The written scope shows outputs, assumptions, exclusions and responsibilities.

04
Do you require a long contract?

No. Diagnostics and focused projects have a defined end. Ongoing programmes use the term agreed in the proposal and should be reviewed when priorities change.

05
Who will work on the account?

The working group depends on the problem. Senior review remains close to delivery, and the scope states who owns research, production, implementation, approval and reporting.

06
Can you work with our internal team or developers?

Yes. We can lead a workstream, supply specialist outputs, support implementation or work inside an existing delivery process. Access and decision routes are agreed first.

07
Who owns the accounts and finished work?

Client accounts should remain under client control. Ownership of produced work, code and licensed materials is stated in the written agreement. Handover and documentation are planned from the start.

08
Do you guarantee rankings, citations or revenue?

No responsible agency controls search systems, AI responses, competitors, customer behaviour or client implementation. We commit to the quality, evidence, communication and ownership standards within our control.

09
How do you measure success?

The measure is set before work begins. It may include visibility, qualified visits, enquiries, sales, pipeline, local actions, conversion quality or another source result that matches the commercial question.

10
How quickly will results appear?

Timing depends on the starting condition, competition, release speed, demand and type of work. The proposal should state expected review periods and the assumptions behind them.

11
What do you need before quoting?

Usually a website address, target, market, timing and a short description of what has already been tried. Complex scopes may need analytics, advertising, CRM or technical access before the fee can be reliable.

12
Can we keep using our existing tools?

Usually. We review whether the current tools provide the access and evidence needed. A replacement is recommended only when the setup blocks the work or creates unnecessary cost.

A good answer needs the right evidence

Some questions cannot be answered honestly from the outside.

Website condition

Access, crawl, platform and current page system.

Commercial definition

What counts as a useful enquiry, sale or pipeline action.

Source quality

What the current analytics and CRM data can support.
