Frequently Asked Questions

What is SEO and why is it important for my business?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing your website to rank higher in search engine results. It's important because it increases your visibility online, drives more organic traffic to your website, and helps you reach potential customers who are actively searching for your products or services.

How long does it take to see results from SEO efforts?

SEO is a long-term strategy. While some improvements can be seen within a few months, significant results typically take 6-12 months. The timeline can vary depending on factors such as your website's current state, competition, and the keywords you're targeting.

What's the difference between on-page and off-page SEO?

On-page SEO involves optimizing elements on your website, such as content, meta tags, and site structure. Off-page SEO focuses on improving your site's authority through external factors like backlinks, social signals, and brand mentions.

What is local SEO and do I need it for my business?

Local SEO focuses on optimizing your online presence to attract more business from relevant local searches. It's crucial for businesses that serve specific geographic areas or have physical locations.

How does mobile SEO differ from desktop SEO?

Mobile SEO focuses on optimizing your site for mobile users, considering factors like responsive design, page speed, and mobile-friendly content. With Google's mobile-first indexing, mobile SEO is now crucial for all websites.
