FAQ

Common questions

How is a consultant different from hiring an SEO agency?

A consultant advises on strategy and direction; execution stays with your team or another partner. It fits when you need expert judgment applied to decisions your business is already making, not a hands-on delivery team.

Will the consultant get involved in day-to-day execution?

Not directly. They review work, set priorities, and flag risks, but writing content or building links stays with your execution team, whether that's in-house or one of our delivery teams.

How much time does this require from my team?

Most engagements run on a recurring cadence, such as a monthly strategy session plus async reviews, so it fits around existing workloads rather than adding a second job for your team.

What's the typical engagement length?

Engagements range from a focused quarterly review to an ongoing advisory retainer, depending on whether you need a one-time reset or continuous input as your program evolves.

How is progress reported to leadership?

You get a structured update that translates SEO activity into business terms, rankings and traffic, but also what they mean for pipeline and revenue, so leadership can track it like any other investment.
