Frequently Asked Questions
Local SEO
For a brand new website, expect meaningful ranking improvements within 4 to 6 months depending on your market competition, industry, and how consistently SEO work is executed. Competitive industries like law, dental, and HVAC in major cities may take longer, while less competitive local markets can move faster.
For an established website with existing content and some domain history, most clients see meaningful ranking improvements within 3 to 6 months depending on competition level and the number of technical and on-page issues we need to fix first. The stronger your existing foundation, the faster we can accelerate results.
As part of our SEO service we build free backlinks, citations, and content marketing links from high-authority, relevant local websites and industry publications. We focus on quality over quantity, targeting links that Google trusts and that actually move your rankings rather than low-quality links that can cause harm.
Spam backlinks, also called a negative SEO attack, can hurt your rankings if left unaddressed. We monitor your backlink profile regularly, identify toxic or spammy links, and submit disavow files to Google to neutralize their impact so your site is protected and your rankings are not suppressed by links you did not build.
Yes, we create individual location and service area pages targeting each city you want to rank in so Google understands exactly where you operate and ranks you across your full service territory. This is one of the most effective strategies for businesses that serve multiple cities but operate from a single location.
Yes, service area businesses that operate without a public-facing address, such as plumbers, HVAC companies, and cleaning services, can still rank strongly in local search and on Google Maps. We set up and optimize your Google Business Profile as a service area business, which allows you to rank in the cities and neighborhoods you serve without displaying a physical address publicly.
Google Business Profile (GBP)
Most businesses see meaningful improvement in their Google Maps rankings within 3 to 6 months of a full GBP optimization depending on market competition and how incomplete the profile was before we started. Ongoing management, consistent review generation, and regular posting accelerate the process significantly.
Yes, we offer GBP optimization and management as a dedicated standalone service, separate from our full Local SEO packages. This is ideal for businesses that already have website SEO covered but want to specifically improve their Google Maps visibility and map pack rankings.
A suspended GBP means your business disappears from Google Maps immediately, which can cost you significant revenue every day it stays down. We offer a dedicated GBP Reinstatement Service where we audit the reason for suspension, fix any compliance issues, prepare strong evidence, and submit a professionally managed appeal to get your listing reinstated as quickly as possible.
Yes, review generation is a core part of our GBP management service. We implement a review request strategy that encourages satisfied customers to leave five-star reviews and we respond to every review professionally, both positive and negative, to build your reputation with Google and with potential customers.
Every month we publish weekly Google Posts, monitor and respond to reviews, update your Q&A section, refresh photos, check for spam competitor listings, and send you a clear performance report covering profile views, search queries, call clicks, and direction requests so you can see exactly what your listing is doing.
Google Ads
Unlike SEO which builds over months, Google Ads can start generating calls and enquiries within days of campaign launch. Most campaigns hit their stride within the first 30 to 60 days as we gather real performance data and optimize bids, keywords, and ad copy based on what is actually converting.
We manage Google Search Ads, Google Maps Ads, and Local Services Ads (LSAs) for local businesses. Each placement works differently and serves a different purpose, and we recommend the right combination based on your industry, budget, and goals.
Yes, since November 2024, a linked and verified Google Business Profile is a mandatory requirement to run Local Services Ads. If your GBP is incomplete, unverified, or suspended, your LSA campaigns will not run. We handle the full setup and verification process as part of our LSA onboarding.
Most local service businesses start with a monthly ad spend between $500 and $2,000 depending on their industry, location, and competition level. We will give you a realistic budget estimate for your specific market before any work begins so you know exactly what to expect.
Every month we publish weekly Google Posts, monitor and respond to reviews, update your Q&A section, refresh photos, check for spam competitor listings, and send you a clear performance report covering profile views, search queries, call clicks, and direction requests so you can see exactly what your listing is doing.
Website Design and Development
We design and develop websites across a wide range of platforms including WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, HubSpot, and Lovable. We also build fully custom websites for businesses that need functionality beyond what standard CMS platforms offer. We recommend the right platform based on your goals, budget, and technical requirements.
Yes, every website we build is SEO-ready from launch. This includes clean URL structures, proper heading hierarchies, schema markup, optimized meta tags, fast page speed, and mobile-first development so your site is ready to rank the moment it goes live.
Most local business websites are completed within 4 to 6 weeks from kickoff to launch depending on the size of the site, platform chosen, and how quickly content and feedback are provided. We assign a dedicated project manager to keep everything on track and communicate clearly at every stage.
Yes, we conduct a full SEO audit of your existing site before any redesign work begins and implement a careful migration plan that preserves your existing URL structure, redirects where needed, and carries over all existing SEO equity so your rankings are protected through the transition.
Yes, we can integrate booking systems, contact forms, quote request forms, appointment scheduling, and lead capture forms that are easy to use, mobile-friendly, and connected to your email or CRM so you never miss an inquiry.
AI SEO, GEO and AEO
We design and develop websites across a wide range of platforms including WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, HubSpot, and Lovable. We also build fully custom websites for businesses that need functionality beyond what standard CMS platforms offer. We recommend the right platform based on your goals, budget, and technical requirements.
We optimize your content structure, implement schema markup, build entity authority across trusted platforms, strengthen your E-E-A-T signals, and ensure consistent brand mentions across the web so that AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews recognize your business as a credible, citable source worth recommending.
GEO focuses on getting your brand cited inside AI-generated responses from platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity. AEO focuses on getting your content surfaced as a direct answer inside Google AI Overviews, voice search, and AI-powered answer boxes. Both strategies work together and we offer them as an integrated AI SEO service.
Most clients begin seeing improvements in AI citation frequency and Google AI Overview appearances within 60 to 90 days of implementing structured data, entity signals, and content optimizations. Full AI visibility growth compounds over 6 to 12 months similar to traditional SEO, with results building on each other over time.
No. AI SEO works alongside traditional SEO, not instead of it. Google’s own guidance confirms that strong SEO fundamentals remain the most important foundation for AI search visibility. AI SEO adds a dedicated layer on top of that foundation specifically designed to capture visibility in AI-generated answers and recommendations.
Reporting and Tracking
We provide monthly performance reports covering rankings, traffic, GBP metrics, backlinks, and conversions written in plain English with no jargon. For clients who want more frequent visibility we also provide weekly update summaries and a live task tracking sheet so you can see exactly what work is being done on your account in real time.
The live task tracking sheet is a shared document updated by our team throughout the month showing every task completed, in progress, or planned for your account. It covers everything from content published and links built to GBP updates and technical fixes so you always have full transparency into where your budget is going.
We use Semrush and Ahrefs for keyword research, competitor analysis, and backlink tracking. Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console are used for traffic and ranking data. BrightLocal and Local Falcon are used specifically for local SEO tracking including map pack rankings across different locations. This combination gives us a complete, accurate picture of your performance at both the local and broader organic level.
Yes, through Local Falcon and BrightLocal you can see your Google Maps rankings across your service area updated regularly, showing exactly where your business ranks for key searches across different locations and how that position is changing over time. We include these visual ranking maps in your monthly reports.
Every GEOVEXA client is assigned a dedicated account manager who is your single point of contact for questions, updates, and strategy discussions. You can reach your account manager by email or scheduled call at any time and you will receive proactive updates rather than waiting to chase us for information.
General Questions
We do not guarantee specific ranking positions and any agency that does is not being honest with you. SEO is not fully predictable because Google’s algorithm considers hundreds of signals and changes regularly. What we do guarantee is that every strategy we implement follows Google’s best practices, is transparently reported, and is focused entirely on moving your rankings in the right direction over time.
No. We do not lock clients into long-term contracts. Our services run on a flexible month-to-month basis because we believe our results should be the reason you stay, not a contract. We are confident enough in our work to earn your business every single month.
Yes, we work with businesses across the UK, USA, and other English-speaking markets. Our strategies are built around the specific search landscapes of each market and we have active clients across multiple countries and industries.
The easiest way to get started is to book a free audit. We will review your current rankings, GBP, website, and competitive landscape and show you exactly where the opportunities are. From there we will recommend the right services for your goals and budget with no pressure and no commitment required.
We are one of the very few agencies that combines proven local SEO with cutting edge AI SEO, GEO, and AEO strategies, giving clients visibility in both traditional search and the AI platforms where millions of people now search every day. We use industry-leading tools, provide full transparency through live tracking and monthly reporting, and operate without long-term contracts because we believe results should speak for themselves.
