Founder-led SEO services that start with a diagnosis,
not a task list.

Early movement in impressions, indexing and click-through rate can appear within weeks. Meaningful traffic and enquiry growth generally takes three to six months, and longer in competitive categories. The variables are your site's technical condition, existing authority, competition level, and how quickly recommended changes actually get implemented.

No, and no ethical SEO agency should. Google's ranking systems aren't controllable by any provider. What we commit to is improving the factors that actually influence visibility: crawlability, relevance, content quality, internal structure and authority signals.

A review of your Search Console performance, indexing status, page-level opportunities, technical blockers, internal linking gaps and content coverage, followed by a written summary of what we'd prioritize and why. It's a diagnosis, not a sales document, and there's no obligation to continue afterwards.

It depends on who will do the execution. A consultant suits teams with developers and writers in-house who need senior direction; an agency suits businesses that need execution capacity. SearchCounselCo sits between the two: one senior SEO consultant does the diagnosis and strategy, with managed execution available when you don't have the team.

SEO consulting gives you expert direction: audits, roadmap planning, developer guidance and implementation review, with your team executing. Managed SEO includes ongoing execution, monthly improvements, reporting and long-term optimization. Teams with internal capacity usually want the first; businesses without one usually need the second.

Yes. Both featured case studies are in these categories. Because Google and Meta heavily restrict paid advertising for them, organic search matters more, and the margin for error is smaller. We write claims-safe product and category copy, build E-E-A-T and trust signals for YMYL scrutiny, and avoid the link networks this niche attracts, because content that ranks by overstating things tends not to rank for long.

Yes, and it's where most of our work sits. That covers category and product page optimization, faceted navigation and crawl control, product schema with price and availability, and internal linking from buying guides into categories. The approach is platform-agnostic: what matters is how your templates render, link and get indexed.

Yes, as part of the same engagement rather than a separate product. Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT and Perplexity tend to cite pages that are crawlable, clearly structured and backed by trust signals, so the technical, content and entity work that lifts rankings also improves the chance of being cited. Where AI answers are absorbing clicks, we adjust what we measure so you can see visibility, not just traffic.

Client engagements to date cover the United States, Germany and France, and the practice takes work from the UK, the rest of Europe and India. Everything runs on shared Search Console access, written documentation and scheduled calls, so the model is identical regardless of time zone. Call overlap is scheduled around your working hours, not ours.

Both, and refreshing usually comes first. Most sites already have pages earning impressions that need better intent matching, stronger internal support, improved metadata and updated depth. That's typically faster and cheaper than publishing from scratch. See our case studies for how content refreshes performed.

Scope drives cost, so we quote after the free audit rather than before it. The audit shows what is actually capping growth and how much work each fix needs, and the quote follows from that. Engagements are month to month with 30 days' notice, so you are never committing to a number before you have seen the diagnosis. What matters more than any figure is whether a provider can show you real Search Console data and explain why each task sits where it does on the list.

Ask for real Search Console data rather than rank-tracker screenshots, confirm who actually does the work after the pitch, check where links come from, and confirm what happens to your assets if you leave. Walk away from anyone guaranteeing a specific ranking. Our full buyer's checklist is above.

No. Every engagement is month-to-month with 30 days' notice. If you leave, you keep every asset produced: audits, briefs, roadmaps and documentation, and all accounts remain in your name.
