Question 1

What is SEO and how does it help my business?

Accepted Answer

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the process of optimizing your website and online presence so your business appears at the top of Google when potential customers search for services you offer. For local businesses, effective SEO means more phone calls, more walk-ins, and more revenue without paying per click.

Question 2

How long does SEO take to show results?

Accepted Answer

Most businesses start seeing measurable improvements in 3-6 months based on the competitiveness of their industry and local market. Local SEO for service businesses (HVAC, law firms, dentists, etc.) can often show results faster because the competition in local search is more manageable than national terms. We provide monthly reports so you can track progress from day one.

Question 3

What is local SEO and why is it critical for my business?

Accepted Answer

Local SEO is the practice of optimizing your online presence to rank in the Google Map Pack and local search results. It is the section that appears when someone searches "dentist near me" or "HVAC repair near me." For brick-and-mortar and service-area businesses, local SEO is the single most important digital marketing investment you can make.

Question 4

How do I get my business to show up on Google Maps?

Accepted Answer

Ranking on Google Maps requires a fully optimized Google Business Profile, consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) citations across the web, a steady flow of positive Google reviews, a locally-optimized website, and relevant content. We handle all of this as part of our Local SEO service.

Question 5

What is Google Business Profile management and do I need it?

Accepted Answer

Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is the free listing that appears in Google Maps and local search results. Managing it means keeping your hours, services, photos, and posts updated, responding to reviews, and optimizing every field for maximum visibility. If you are a local business, this is non-negotiable and it directly impacts whether customers call you or your competitor.

Question 6

What is the difference between organic SEO and paid ads (PPC)?

Accepted Answer

Organic SEO earns you free, long-term traffic by ranking your website naturally in Google search results. Paid ads (PPC) give you instant visibility but cost money per click, and traffic stops the moment you stop paying. We recommend SEO as a long-term investment and PPC only for short-term campaigns or highly competitive niches.

Question 7

How much does SEO cost per month?

Accepted Answer

Our SEO packages start with a comprehensive audit and custom strategy. Pricing depends on your industry, competition level, number of locations, and goals. We provide transparent, flat-rate monthly pricing after a free discovery call with no hidden fees and no long-term contracts required to start.

Question 8

What is a technical SEO audit?

Accepted Answer

A technical SEO audit examines your website for issues that prevent Google from properly crawling, indexing, and ranking your pages. This includes site speed, mobile-friendliness, broken links, duplicate content, schema markup, XML sitemaps, and Core Web Vitals. We identify every issue and fix them as part of our SEO service.

Question 9

Why is my website not showing up on Google?

Accepted Answer

Common reasons include: your site has not been indexed, there are technical SEO issues preventing crawling, your content does not target the right keywords, your site lacks authority (backlinks), or your competitors have invested more in SEO. We offer a free initial consultation to diagnose exactly why you are not ranking and build a plan to fix it.

Question 10

How do I get more Google reviews for my business?

Accepted Answer

The best approach is a systematic review generation strategy: ask every satisfied customer for a review at the right moment, make it easy (send a direct link), and respond to every review, positive or negative. We help set up automated review request systems via email or SMS that dramatically increase your review volume.

Question 11

What are backlinks and why do they matter for SEO?

Accepted Answer

Backlinks are links from other websites pointing to yours. Google treats them as votes of confidence. The more high-quality, relevant websites that link to you, the higher you rank. We build backlinks through local business directories, industry partnerships, content marketing, and digital PR without spam or paid link schemes.

Question 12

How often should I update my website for SEO?

Accepted Answer

Google favors fresh, relevant content. At minimum, update your website monthly with new service pages, blog posts, case studies, or industry-specific content. For competitive industries, weekly updates can make a significant difference. Our managed SEO packages include ongoing content creation and optimization.

Question 13

What is on-page SEO vs off-page SEO?

Accepted Answer

On-page SEO is everything you control on your website: title tags, meta descriptions, headers, content, images, internal links, and schema markup. Off-page SEO is everything outside your website: backlinks, citations, social signals, and online reviews. Both are essential. A great website without authority will not rank, and authority without a well-optimized site will not convert visitors.

Question 14

Do I need a blog for SEO?

Accepted Answer

A blog is one of the most effective SEO tools for any business. It lets you target long-tail keywords your potential customers are searching for, demonstrate expertise, and earn backlinks. For example, an HVAC company blogging about "how to lower energy bills in Florida" can capture homeowners who are actively looking for help.

Question 15

What is mobile-first indexing and does it affect my rankings?

Accepted Answer

Google primarily uses the mobile version of your website for indexing and ranking. If your site is not mobile-friendly, slow, hard to navigate, or poorly formatted on phones, it will rank lower. Over 60% of all local searches happen on mobile devices. Every website we build is mobile-first from the ground up.

Question 16

What is schema markup and does my business need it?

Accepted Answer

Schema markup is structured data code added to your website that helps Google understand your business, including your services, location, hours, reviews, FAQs, and more. It can earn you rich snippets in search results (stars, FAQ dropdowns, business info), which dramatically increase click-through rates. Yes, every business needs it, and we implement it on every site we build.

Question 17

Can you do SEO for my specific industry (law firm, doctor, contractor, etc.)?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We specialize in SEO for service-based local businesses: law firms, medical and dental practices, HVAC and plumbing companies, electricians, roofers, construction firms, veterinary clinics, restaurants, real estate agencies, auto service shops, and more. Each industry has unique search patterns, and we tailor our strategy to match exactly how your potential customers search.

Question 18

What is the Google Map Pack and how do I get in it?

Accepted Answer

The Google Map Pack (or Local 3-Pack) is the block of three business listings that appears at the top of local search results with a map. Getting in it requires an optimized Google Business Profile, strong local SEO, positive reviews, accurate citations, and proximity to the searcher. For most local businesses, the Map Pack drives more calls and visits than any other search result.

Question 19

How much does a professional website cost for a small business?

Accepted Answer

Website pricing depends on the complexity, number of pages, custom features, and integrations needed. We offer one-time project builds as well as subscription-based web development plans that include hosting, maintenance, and ongoing updates for a flat monthly fee. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your business.

Question 20

How long does it take to build a professional website?

Accepted Answer

A standard business website typically takes 3-6 weeks from kickoff to launch. More complex projects with custom software, e-commerce, or extensive integrations can take 8-12 weeks. We follow an agile process with weekly check-ins so you see progress every step of the way.

Question 21

Can you redesign my existing website without losing my SEO rankings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We perform a full SEO migration when redesigning websites by preserving all existing URLs, setting up proper 301 redirects, maintaining meta data, and migrating structured data. When done correctly, a redesign should improve rankings, not hurt them.

Question 22

How can AI automation help my small business save money?

Accepted Answer

AI automation reduces labor costs by handling repetitive tasks: answering common customer questions with chatbots, automating appointment scheduling with voice AI, scoring and qualifying leads automatically, generating marketing content, and streamlining client onboarding. Businesses that implement AI automation typically see significant time savings and freed-up staff to focus on revenue-generating activities.

Question 23

What is a custom CRM and do I need one?

Accepted Answer

A CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system tracks every interaction with your leads and customers. Off-the-shelf CRMs force you to adapt your process to their limitations. A custom CRM is built around your exact workflows, your sales pipeline, your follow-up sequences, and your reporting needs. If you manage leads, appointments, or client relationships, a CRM is essential.

Question 24

What industries does ClipLogic serve?

Accepted Answer
