You may have been offered pay-for-performance SEO. It is a way of pricing the work: what you pay moves with what gets measured. A first page guarantee is a promise about the result itself, which with us means a share of the key phrases you could rank for, on the first page of Google, by set dates.
Whichever you choose, ask three questions before you sign: which searches count, where they are counted, and who chose them. Our answers start from the full list of ways your customers could search for you, which we build with you, and we track where each of those searches shows your business: on the map, in the regular results and in AI answers. Start with Step 1 and we will show you that list for your own business.
How our fee works is something we set out in our reply, once we have seen your market.
