Common questions about SEO, timelines, our process, and pricing. Anything else, email admin@thetrueseo.com.
Each package page lists the full deliverables. In general: Local Growth covers local optimization, citation work, and basic content. Regional Authority adds link building, more keywords, and bi-weekly calls. Enterprise covers the full scope of SEO with a dedicated strategist.
Honest answer: most clients see meaningful movement in rankings between months 3 and 6. Organic traffic tends to follow a month or two after. Page 1 rankings for competitive terms can take 8-12 months. We give you a realistic timeline based on your specific market during the discovery call.
No. Any agency guaranteeing specific rankings is either lying or talking about terms no one searches for. What we do guarantee is transparent work, documented progress, and honest reporting on what the results actually are.
Access to Google Search Console and Google Analytics, your Google Business Profile if local SEO is part of the scope, and a brief on your top services and target customers. We handle the rest.
Yes. Most of our clients are not in Virginia Beach. Local clients benefit from in-person strategy sessions. Remote clients work with us entirely asynchronously with video calls at key milestones.
Monthly ranking and traffic reports sent by the 5th of each month. Regional and Enterprise clients also get bi-weekly or weekly calls. All clients have access to a live dashboard showing keyword position changes in real time.
Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Ahrefs for backlink and keyword tracking, and Screaming Frog for technical audits. We do not hide what we use or charge you extra for tool access.
Yes. Our standard engagement is a 6-month minimum for monthly services, because SEO requires time to produce meaningful results. One-time services like technical audits have no ongoing commitment.
You give 30 days written notice after the initial 6-month period. We do not retain any of your assets or block access to your accounts. Everything we build belongs to you.
