Full Service Local SEO Optimization
Dominate Your Market
Your FAQs Answered!
Will I have a private dashboard with my company in it?
Yes!
We provide a customized dashboard for your business. You’ll get to see the results of our efforts in real time.
How long until I see results / How long does this take?
We get this question often and the answer is that it depends on the status of your website when you sign up.
First and foremost, this is an investment into your business. Regardless of where your website is when we begin, this service will add tremendous amounts of valuable content and information month after month for as long as we work together. This equals increased targeted traffic and potential customers coming to your website.
We’ve had companies jump to the first page in a mater of a week, and we’ve had companies take several months. The truth is that no matter where you start, the consistency we’ve built into our systems WILL GET YOU RESULTS.
If your website is brand new or less than a year old, you should expect a minimum of 90 days before the needle starts to move. You’ll probably see maps results showing up faster than organic results.
If your website is 1 – 5 years old, you’ll see results in 60-90 days for certain.
If your website is 5+ years old, results will be noticed within the first 30 days.
As with all SEO endeavors, consistency and patience are what pays off.
How are results measured?
We offer a fully-transparent dashboard that allows you to see all your keyword search terms and how well they’re doing on your site. We measure organic results + Google map results.
You’ll also have a live link to check your google Analytics anytime you wish.
Our goal is to keep you 100% informed 100% of the time!
Do I need to sign a contract?
Nope. This is a month-to-month service.
We know a lot of SEO services want to lock you into a contract so you can’t leave when nothing happens. We feel if we’re working hard and making a difference, that’s all we need to gain your trust.
What happens if I cancel? Do I lose all the work Spark Advisory performed?
Should you cancel your services, all the work we do stays with you. You own your website, and all the improvements we make to it.
Is this SEO Services?
This is SEO on steroids. It’s a specialized service specifically for local businesses based on content creation for your website and Google Business Listing.
While we do SEO optimize your website, we do not build or buy back-links like most SEO agencies do (you should be very wary of these services).
Our focus is completely different and this is why it works so well.
We have a proven system that works in each and every industry because we focus on what Google loves: content!
Should I keep my current SEO company while I'm working with Spark Advisory?
You won’t need both.
We typically get more results for local businesses than most regular SEO companies can.
We have a different approach, and this is why what we do works so well.
How will communication work with Spark Advisory after signup?
We have a state of the art internal dashboard that works with our team and our clients.
When we complete certain tasks, you’ll be notified via email. For example: If we post a blog for your website, you will be emailed with a notice. This will allow you to know when something has been done on your site.
We DO NOT communicate everything we do for your website. Certain things we do are kept proprietary, so that our services can’t be copied by competitors.
If you need to contact us for anything, you’ll have a project manager who’ll be your contact. It is their job to make certain any questions you may have are answered and to communicate with you.
You can always get a response from support@sparkadvisory.llc.
Will this work if I'm not using WordPress?
Simply put, nothing compares to WordPress when it comes to achieving high ranking results.
If you have a website builder such as SquareSpace, Wix, or something similar, we HIGHLY recommend changing it over to WordPress. Google recognizes these as generic template builders (i.e. not authoritative) and penalizes them in search results. Even with the improvements made by Wix and SquareSpace in recent years, they still can’t compete with a WordPress site.
If you’re using something else and afraid to make the change, know that we have a very talented team that can effortlessly make the transition for you. Typically, we simply exchange 1 month of service for the website move. It could be a little more if your website has many pages or blog articles.
Will I get a report of the work that is completed for my website?
No. We don’t provide reports outside of the dashboards we provide to you, or outside the automatic communications that our system provides to you.
In order to keep this affordable to our clients, we will not work outside our processes. This allows us to work efficiently for you or our other clients.
Does Spark Advisory use SEO backlinking strategies?
We will create backlinks occasionally when we feel it’s appropriate. And we handle local citations to increase authority. But we do not create or implement backlinking strategies, as we’ve found them to be an inefficient way to rank for local businesses and a poor use of our resources.
If you are strictly looking for backlinking services, we are not a good fit for you.
