SEO agency in Franklin, Tennessee

It depends mostly on how old your site is, not on how hard anyone works. An established site with real history usually shows movement in six to eight weeks on technical fixes, and three to six months on terms worth money. A brand-new domain is a different job: four to six months before anything moves, and closer to nine to twelve before it is commercially useful. We report monthly either way, and the first report lists what we changed.

Google leans on track record, and that has tightened. Ahrefs found that roughly 73% of pages in the top ten are more than three years old, and that only about 1.7% of newly published pages reach the top ten within a year. A new domain is not being punished — it simply has no history to judge, so the early months buy evidence rather than rankings. If your site is new, the honest plan is long-tail terms first and patience on the competitive ones.

Usually, yes, and it is the single biggest advantage you have. An old domain with clean history has trust that a new competitor cannot buy. The work becomes fixing what is holding the site back rather than building credibility from nothing, and that is why established sites often move in weeks. The exception is an old domain with a bad history — spam, a penalty, or years of thin pages — which can take longer than starting fresh.

Month one is the audit, the analytics review, the page map, a costed fix list, and tracking put in. Months two and three are the fixes shipped, the Google profile work, and the first content pages live. After that it settles into two to four pages a month, ongoing technical work and a monthly report. All of it is written down before you pay.

None of it. A small team in Franklin, Tennessee. The person who writes your audit does the work, so the recommendations are limited to things we can build.

Ask two questions. First, what will you change in the first month, and who will do it? A good answer names specific pages and the person doing the work. A weak one describes a process. Second, what happens if nothing has moved by month six? Any agency worth hiring has already thought about that.

Almost always. Most of our SEO work is on sites someone else built. The exception is a platform that will not let us change what needs changing; if the fix is to move off the page builder, the audit says so and prices both options.

Monthly, quoted against your site and your market. A one-off audit with no commitment is also available, credited against your first month if you continue. Starting figures for both are on the pricing page.

Yes. The work that gets you cited in an AI answer is largely the work that gets you ranked: a clearly structured page with real questions as headings and specific facts under them. Vague copy is now unquotable as well as unrankable. We do not bill AI visibility separately, because it is the same work.

The work is the same; the order differs. A small business can't fund a year of content before anything happens, so we front-load whatever pays back soonest. Identifying those items is most of what the first month is for.

Three things have to be true: the page is indexed, it answers something people actually search for, and the domain is trusted enough for the subject. If you do not appear at all, it is nearly always indexation, which is usually quick and cheap to fix. We will check it for free before you hire anyone.

Both. An SEO agency for ecommerce works the opposite problem from a service site: too many pages rather than too few, most competing with each other. That is a code change more than a content one.

You keep everything. The pages are on your domain, the fixes are in your code, the tracking is in your account and the Google profile is yours. Nothing switches off and there is no plugin to keep paying for.
