FAQ
Questions we get asked
How is Local, Retail and Studios SEO different from generic SEO?
The technical foundations are identical. What changes is the citation stack, the schema types and the intent mix. Local, Retail and Studios buyers use different research surfaces, and AI models weight different third-party sources when answering questions in this category. We reverse-engineer which sources actually get cited for your specific vertical during the audit, rather than applying a generic checklist.
How long before we see results?
Traditional ranking improvements typically show inside 60 to 90 days, faster on pages already sitting in positions 8 to 20. AI citations follow the same curve every time: entity indexing at 30 to 45 days, first citations around day 60, consistent mentions by day 90, stable visibility at 4 to 6 months.
Do you have experience in this specific industry?
Yes. The clients listed above are live or completed engagements in local, retail and studios. We will walk you through the actual accounts, anonymised where the client requires it, on a scoping call.
What does it cost?
Consulting is $30 per hour for one-off sessions. Retainers are scoped after the audit, because quoting before diagnosis is guesswork. Start with the free AI visibility audit and the priority usually becomes obvious.
