SEO is a two-to-six month play, not a two-week one. Most local businesses see movement in the map results within two to three months, and meaningful lead volume somewhere between three and six. If you need the phone ringing sooner than that, Google Ads and Meta Ads will do it in days, and we’ll usually suggest running one alongside SEO so work is coming in while the rankings build.

Honestly, no. Start with ads. With no reviews and no history you'd be climbing behind businesses that have both, and that takes months you probably can't afford to wait out. Meta Ads gets your work in front of locals who don't know you exist yet, and Google Ads puts you in front of the ones already searching. Run those for a few months, bank some jobs and some reviews, and then SEO has something to build on, and it costs you less to win because you're no longer starting from nothing.

Not always. Plenty of local businesses get calls from a well-run Google Business Profile alone, and that's where we start anyway. A website is what lets you rank for the services and suburbs a profile can't reach, and it's also where your ad traffic lands, so it's usually the next thing we build whichever channel you're running.

No lock-in and no minimum term. It's month to month and you can cancel any time. There's a one-off setup fee to get everything built, then a flat monthly fee, and we'll go through the numbers with you on the strategy call. And if you don't get a qualified lead in your first 90 days, we refund every dollar you've paid us. By qualified lead we mean a contactable enquiry (a call, form submission or message) from someone in your service area asking about work you actually do.

Book a quick strategy call. We'll look at where you're showing up now, what your competitors are doing, and tell you honestly which of the three channels should come first for your business. Sometimes that's SEO. Sometimes it isn't. No pressure, no obligation.
