What PeopleAlways Ask

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does SEO take to show results?

Technical fixes and GBP improvements show results in 4-8 weeks. Organic rankings for competitive keywords typically take 3-6 months. We track and report early signals (impressions, CTR improvements, crawl health) so you see progress before page-one rankings arrive.

What is the difference between GEO and SEO?

Traditional SEO targets Google's blue links and Maps results. GEO (generative engine optimization) targets AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. We offer both as separate services, or combined for total search dominance.

Do you guarantee first-page rankings?

We do not. Anyone who guarantees specific rankings is either lying or targeting keywords with no search volume. What we guarantee is a rigorous technical foundation, measurable improvements in organic visibility, and full transparency on what's working and what isn't.

Do you handle both national and local SEO?

Yes. We typically start with local dominance in Pune and then expand city by city. Our local SEO work runs in parallel with national keyword targeting so you build authority on both fronts simultaneously.

What does your monthly reporting include?

Keyword rankings (tracked weekly), organic traffic by page, Core Web Vitals scores, backlinks acquired, GBP insights, and a revenue attribution model that maps organic sessions to lead submissions and calls.
