What's the difference between consulting and your full-service SEO?
Full-service SEO means we do the work for you — execution, content, technical fixes, ongoing management. Consulting means we give you the strategy, the analysis, and the roadmap — and your team (or you) implements it. Consulting is a great fit if you have some internal capacity but need expert direction.
How long does a consulting engagement take?
An audit and strategy report typically takes 7 to 10 business days. A strategy session can be scheduled within a week. Monthly advisory retainers are ongoing. We’ll scope the right engagement for your situation on our initial call.
Can consulting lead into full-service SEO management?
Yes, and many clients start that way. A consulting engagement is a great way to get to know how we think before committing to a longer engagement. There’s no pressure to upgrade — but the option is always there.
Is this only for businesses in New York?
No. Consulting is available to businesses anywhere. Our full-service SEO is strongest for businesses in the New York and Long Island market where we have deep local knowledge, but our strategic consulting work is relevant for any local or service-area business regardless of location.
One honest strategy session can save you thousands in the wrong direction. Let’s look at your situation together and map out exactly what to do next.
