Frequently asked questions
How long before we see results?
Most clients see measurable ranking movement within 60–90 days. Significant traffic and lead volume growth typically builds between months three and six. SEO is a compounding investment — the businesses that commit to 12 months see the strongest returns.
Is there a minimum contract?
SpikeCrest requires a six-month minimum engagement. SEO takes time to compound. Engagements shorter than six months rarely generate the ranking depth needed to see meaningful traffic and lead impact.
Do you work with businesses in any industry?
SpikeCrest works across local services, behavioral health, e-commerce, B2B, industrial, and professional services. If organic search is a viable customer acquisition channel for your business, SpikeCrest can build a strategy for it.
What happens after the audit?
SpikeCrest presents findings on a video call — ranking opportunity, technical priorities, and a proposed content roadmap. You decide whether to proceed. No pressure, no obligation.
Can we add Google Ads or CRO to an SEO retainer?
Yes. SpikeCrest manages Google Ads and CRO as standalone services or alongside an SEO retainer. Combining services accelerates results — Ads delivers traffic immediately while SEO builds long-term authority.
