Pain Points
The traps buyers fall into when comparing SEO companies.
Everyone sounds identical
Same stock photos, same "data-driven" language, no way to tell who is actually good.
Ask for named people and real numbers.Vague scope, hidden extras
The proposal lists services but no volumes, so every deliverable becomes an upsell later.
Demand written deliverables and volumes.Silence after signing
Fast replies during sales, radio silence once the invoice clears.
Ask how often you meet your strategist.Reporting you cannot read
Charts with no explanation, and no clear answer to "did this make money?".
Insist on lead and revenue context.Risky link packages
Cheap links inflate a chart, then vanish in the next algorithm update.
Ask exactly how links are sourced.One-size-fits-all packages
Identical plans sold to a plumber and a medical device manufacturer.
Look for scopes built around your market.What We Offer
