📚 General SEO Questions
What is an SEO audit?
+An SEO audit is a comprehensive analysis of your website's search engine optimization. It identifies technical issues, on-page problems, and opportunities to improve your Google rankings.
Think of it as a health check for your website's visibility. Just like a doctor identifies what's wrong and prescribes treatment, an SEO audit finds what's holding your site back and provides a roadmap to fix it.
How long does it take to see results from SEO?
+SEO is a long-term investment. Most businesses start seeing measurable improvements within 3-6 months of implementing audit recommendations.
That said, some wins are faster:
- Quick wins (1-4 weeks): Fixing technical errors, improving page titles, adding meta descriptions
- Medium-term (1-3 months): Content optimization improvements, local SEO updates
- Long-term (3-6+ months): New content ranking, backlink building results
What is local SEO and do I need it?
+Local SEO focuses on improving your visibility in location-based searches (like "plumber near me" or "coffee shop in Manchester").
You need local SEO if:
- You have a physical business location
- You serve customers in specific geographic areas
- You want to appear in Google Maps results
- Your competitors show up in "near me" searches
All our audits include a local SEO assessment if relevant to your business.
Why isn't my website ranking on Google?
+There are many reasons a website might not rank well. The most common include:
- Technical issues: Site not indexed, slow loading, mobile problems
- On-page problems: Poor title tags, thin content, missing keywords
- Competition: Stronger competitors with more authority
- New website: Google needs time to trust new domains
- Wrong keywords: Targeting terms that are too competitive
An SEO audit identifies exactly what's holding your specific site back.

For technical fixes that do require development work, we provide clear instructions you can share with your web developer or we can recommend trusted partners.

- Monthly SEO: £199/month (cancel anytime)
We also offer a free mini-audit to help you understand where your site stands before committing.
Can I cancel the monthly plan anytime?

Simply email us at hello@getrankt.com before your next billing date to cancel. You'll continue to have access to support until the end of your current billing period.
Do you offer refunds?
+Due to the digital nature of our service (you receive the full audit immediately), we don't offer refunds on completed audits.
However, if you're not satisfied with your audit, please contact us. We'll work with you to address any concerns and make it right.
What payment methods do you accept?
+We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) via our secure payment processor. UK bank transfers are also available for larger orders.
📈 Results & Expectations
Can you guarantee first page rankings?
+No honest SEO provider can guarantee specific rankings. Google's algorithm considers hundreds of factors, many outside anyone's control.
What we can guarantee:
- A thorough, accurate analysis of your site
- Actionable recommendations based on SEO best practices
- Clear prioritization so you know what to fix first
- Improvements to your site's SEO foundation
Be wary of anyone who promises guaranteed rankings – it's a red flag for potential scams.
What if I need help implementing the recommendations?
+Our Monthly SEO plan includes ongoing support and implementation guidance. You'll get email support and monthly strategy calls to help you work through the recommendations.
For one-time audit customers, we can recommend trusted developers and content writers if you need hands-on help.
How often should I get an SEO audit?
+We recommend getting a comprehensive SEO audit:
- Annually at minimum to catch new issues and opportunities
- After major website changes (redesign, migration, new pages)
- If rankings drop suddenly to diagnose the cause
- Before launching a new marketing campaign to ensure your site is ready
Our Monthly SEO plan includes continuous monitoring so you don't need separate audits.
