FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Direct answers to the most common questions. No jargon, no sales pitch.

What makes content SEO different from general SEO?

General SEO covers a broad range of technical, link-based, and content factors. Content SEO specifically focuses on what you publish: the topics you cover, how deeply you cover them, how content pieces connect to each other, and whether what you write satisfies both the user's intent and Google's E-E-A-T requirements. The reason to focus on this is that most sites have already fixed the basic technical issues -- content is what separates the sites that plateau from those that keep growing.

How long does it take to see results?

For on-page optimisation of existing content, we typically see Search Console movement within 6-10 weeks of changes going live. For new topic cluster content, realistic timeframes are 4-8 months for meaningful organic visibility. For sites that are technically sound and already have some organic presence, improvement is usually visible within 3-4 months. We give you a specific written estimate based on your site audit, not a generic answer.

Do you write the content or just advise on it?

Both, depending on the service. The Content SEO Audit and Content Gap Analysis are advisory deliverables -- you receive documents your team uses to implement. On-Page Content Optimisation, SERP-First Content, and E-E-A-T Signal Building are production services where we write and produce the content. The Topic Cluster Architecture is strategy only (we design the content map; you or your writers produce the content). All our production work comes with full editorial briefs and structured data specifications.

Do you guarantee first page rankings?

No. If an agency guarantees specific rankings, that is a red flag. Google independently controls its algorithm and no third party can guarantee positions. What we do guarantee is documented work delivered as agreed, honest analysis, and the application of content SEO best practices that have a proven track record of producing organic growth when applied consistently. We document what we do so you can verify every claim.

Can you work on sites built with any CMS?

Yes. Our audit and strategy deliverables are CMS-agnostic: we analyse the live site and produce written recommendations that your developer can implement in any platform. For production services, we deliver content in formats your team publishes (Google Docs, DOCX, or direct via CMS if access is granted). We do not require CMS admin access for most work, which keeps your credentials safe.

What is your minimum commitment?

One-time services (Audit, Topic Clusters, Content Gap Analysis) have no minimum commitment beyond the initial payment. Monthly services and plans require a 3-month minimum to allow time for content to perform in search. After that, they continue month-to-month with 30 days written notice to cancel. There are no annual lock-ins.

How is payment handled?

All payments are processed securely through Stripe Checkout (checkout.stripe.com), a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified platform. We accept all major credit and debit cards. We never see or store your card details. After successful payment, you receive a Stripe receipt and our project start confirmation within 1 business day.

What happens after an algorithm update affects my rankings?

We monitor all confirmed Google core updates and targeted updates. When a confirmed update coincides with significant changes in your tracked data, we send a written analysis within 5 business days explaining what changed, which content was affected, and what we recommend. For monthly clients, this analysis is included at no extra charge.
