Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AI visibility audit?
We check whether AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews know your business exists. We look at your schema markup, structured data, AI crawler access, content structure, and directory listings. Most small businesses score below 30%. We show you exactly what to fix and then we fix it.
How much do your services cost?
Monthly retainers start at $1,500. One-time projects like website builds are scoped and priced individually based on complexity. We always tell you the cost upfront before any work begins. No hidden fees, no surprise invoices.
How long until I see SEO results?
PPC ads can drive leads within days of launching. SEO typically takes 3-6 months to show significant ranking improvements, depending on your competition and starting point. We set honest expectations and report on progress weekly so you always know where things stand.
Do you build websites?
Yes. We build custom WordPress sites from scratch — no templates, no page builders like Elementor or Divi. Every site is hand-coded, lightweight, fast, and optimized for search engines and AI from day one.
Do you work with businesses outside of Minnesota?
Yes. While we are based in Alexandria, MN, most of our work is done remotely. We work with businesses anywhere in the US. Local SEO strategies are adjusted based on your specific market and geography.
What makes you different from other agencies?
Three things. First, we specialize in AI visibility — something most agencies have not even heard of yet. Second, we build everything custom instead of using templates and page builders. Third, we are transparent about pricing, timelines, and results. You get weekly reports with real numbers, not monthly PDFs full of jargon.
Do I need SEO if I already run ads?
Yes. Ads stop working the moment you stop paying. SEO builds long-term traffic that compounds over time. The best strategy is both — ads for immediate leads while SEO builds your organic foundation. Over time, organic traffic takes over and your cost-per-lead drops.
Can you help with my Google Business Profile?
Yes. Google Business Profile optimization is included in our local SEO services. We optimize your profile, manage your categories, help with review strategy, and ensure your NAP data is consistent across all directories.
