Cyrusson SEO FAQ

How Does SEO Work?

Ranking on Google depends on relevance and trust. Relevance takes into account the quality of content on a website and the code behind the scenes. Building relevance means optimizing the code, and making sure the content accurately represents the business and the brand.

Trust is an important metric to measure in order to gain more visibility on the internet. Quality sites that point back at your site, like us, will lead the Google algorithm to trust your content more and boost your ranking.

How Long Does SEO Take To See Results?

Good SEO can’t be done overnight. It takes time and patience. Even after implementing our recommended keywords, many of our clients take 4-6 months to rank on the first page. Typically roughly ~ 86% of our small business clients can be found on the first page after 6-9 months of SEO work!

We provide a ton of transparency into the work we do. Every customer will have unlimited access to a custom reporting dashboard where they can see all SEO activities. They will be able to track every penny of their campaign and see how their keywords are doing.

Please note: For competitive markets, it may take 6+ months to reach the first page of search engines.

How Much Does SEO Cost?

The cost of a Local SEO campaign can vary based on several factors, but it ultimately depends on how competitive you want to be in your market. At Cyrusson, we aim to create a tailored SEO strategy that aligns with your business goals, industry, and target audience. Here are some of the key factors that influence your SEO investment:

  • Your Goals: Are you looking to dominate your local market or improve your rankings gradually?
  • Industry Competitiveness: Some industries are more competitive than others, requiring a more aggressive approach.
  • Target Locations: Are you focusing on a single city or multiple areas?
  • Target Keywords: The difficulty and search volume of your chosen keywords can impact the effort needed.
  • Current Rankings: Your website’s current standing in search results will determine the level of optimization required.
  • Website’s Domain Age: Older domains may have more authority, while newer sites may require extra work.
  • Amount of Blog Articles: The more content you have, the more opportunities there are to optimize for keywords.
  • Scope of Work & Total Hours Worked Per Month: We customize our approach based on the work needed to achieve your goals.
What's The Difference Between Local SEO Campaign vs National SEO Campaign?

If a business provides services (or products) nationwide it may try to rank for just the keyword.

If it’s a local business it would try to rank for the keyword + the geography. So for e.g., a national chain of plumbing supplies would want to rank for ‘plumbing supplies’, while a local store that serves just Washington DC would want to rank for ‘plumbing supplies DC’.

Local SEO is intended to get customers who live in the area to support that local business. Whereas National SEO campaigns focus on broad search key terms without mention of their geographic location.

Does SEO Work For Every Business?

You betcha! Whether you offer a product or service, SEO can boost your website up the rankings and increase sales.

Does SEO Improve My Business?

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of making sure your website takes advantage of search engines. The tangible work that is done to the website is strengthening its foundation and making it more appealing to Search Engines. As a result, the website ranks higher and is more visible to prospective clients on popular search engines like Google and Bing.

What Is On-Page vs Off-Page SEO?

Any work that is done on the actual website is known as On-Page. Whether it is titles, tags, descriptions, content, or website structure, everything you do on your website improves the customer’s experience. Off-Page SEO does not include any work done on the website. It is all work that is not directly on the website. This includes blog writing, link building, social sharing, bookmarking, and more.

Should People Use SEO If They Already Rank For Some Keywords?

Absolutely! SEO is dynamic. As such, search rankings and results change and fluctuate. What works today may not work tomorrow. Google is constantly updating and refining it’s algorithms while also increasing competition. So, whether you’d like to stay on top of your game or just need a little push in the right direction, we offer a complete and personalized service by our SEO experts. Maintaining SEO is crucial for good websites. It is important to rank for key phrases, but also rank for secondary and tertiary terms.

You Guarantee Ranking #1 on Searches?

SEO work is a complicated and ever-changing industry. There’s no way to guarantee a spot on the first page of a search engine, but if you do it right, at the right pace, and with the right content, you should see some great results. Most clients reach the first page within 4-6 months.

What Is Guest Blogging?

Guest blogging is a valuable way to improve website rankings. When bloggers like your guest blog post, they often include it on their own blogs because they know that it will provide value to their site visitors. This in turn provides a backlink to our client’s website.

What Are Backlinks and Why Are They Important?

These are links that search engines can see from other websites that point to your site. There is a lot that goes into backlinking safely. In this day and age, there is zero reason to do the kind of shady SEO tricks that some businesses used to gain more traffic.

At Cyrusson, we make sure the backlinks are true to the company. By doing this, your site should rank higher than your competitors who are solely focused on on-page work.

What is the difference between PPC Google Ads & SEO?

SEO is the long-term strategy for driving traffic to your site that is not paid for. PPC traffic is the more short-term strategy and is paid for. SEO efforts will bring you traffic for as long as you want, while PPC traffic can only carry on for as long as it’s budgeted.

Pay-Per-Click is a strategy that pays for traffic to your website. It’s more of a quick injection of traffic that doesn’t have the same long-lasting effects as SEO, which is a long-term effort with lasting results.

How Often Does Google Update Their Search Engine Algorithm?

Google does not give us direct clues about these major algorithm updates. But every few months there seems to be a major update. In between, many small updates can occur. We can track over 1,000+ keywords to keep up with fluctuations in the performance of our clients’ campaigns. This allows us to see what’s working best and adjust campaigns accordingly.

Can My Business Show Up On Google Maps?

Yes, if a business has all the relevant details filled out on Google Business Profile and their website has been verified by Google, it can be shown on a Google map. But to offer a little extra assurance, a company needs to add in videos, photos, and reviews. This will increase the likelihood of being listed in the Google maps area of search results.

What Is The Connection Between Google Business Profile and Local SEO?

Google Business Profile is like an online directory for businesses. It features key contact information such as the owner’s name, address, phone number, and hours of operation. Google Business Profile also offers a map, photos, videos, and categories of the business type. It also allows businesses to complete forms for payment options.

Google gives prominence to these listings, because they are verified and completed. These listings show up on Google SERP’s and Google Maps, both on desktop and mobile devices. This means that having a fully completed and verified listing is crucial for rankings.

What Are Long-Tail Keywords?

You’ve got to be specific. You can’t just think “keyword.” Long-tail keywords are more niche and less common than other keywords. They focus more on a specific subject and usually have a higher conversion value because they are more specific and less popular.

How Often Should I Update My Website Content/Blog?

A company should be publishing at least two blogs a month to keep their website updated with fresh information that search engines prefer.

  • A blog is a great way to keep your website fresh with new, relevant information about your business or the industry you’re in. Up-to-date websites are important to search engines, because it tells them that your site is keeping up with the latest trends.
  • Sharing informative and engaging content on your blog can help establish you as a thought leader and expert in your industry. This type of content can also help you attract new customers and retain existing ones.
  • Having a blog on your website can help you reach new potential clients through social media. Posting shareable content can help you connect with new audiences and grow your business.
  • When it comes to generating traffic and improving your search engine ranking, blogs are key. They allow you to target specific keywords that may be low-hanging fruit, resulting in a large influx of traffic to your website. So don’t neglect your blog – it could make all the difference.

Cyrusson Digital Advertising FAQ

What Are The Benefits of Advertising with PPC Ads?

The key difference is that PPC campaigns are more expensive because you are paying for the click and for the management of the campaign.

What Is The Difference Between PPC Google Ads & SEO?

What’s The Difference Between Facebook Ads and Google Ads?

Facebook Advertising is an excellent example of passive advertising, which is different than active advertising (think Google Ads). 

Active advertising (Google Ads) is when we place an ad in front of a user who is actively looking for our product or service (there is intent for it). 

Passive advertising (Facebook Ads) is when we place advertisements in front of users without them actively looking for it at that time.

What Platforms Do You Perform Advertising Services On?

We utilize some of the following advertising platforms: Google Search and Display Network, YouTube Ad, Facebook Advertising, and Instagram Advertising.

Can I See Some Results You’ve Generated In Other Client Digital Ad Campaigns?

Yes, please click here to view our Digital Ads Case Studies

What Does The Timeline Look Like From Contract Execution To Campaign Launch?

The campaign itself can be launched within 5-10 business days after all required assets (i.e.: copy, logos, etc) are received by our team. 

Please note: An email will be sent one or two days before the campaign is set to launch containing screenshots of the ads created by our team. If you have any feedback this is the best time to share it. 

What Keywords Are Selected For The Campaign? (Related to Google Ads)

You’ll have the opportunity to specify the goal of the campaign and who we should target. We also ask for the top 10 keywords that may be related to this business. Our team of strategists will use this information to develop a successful campaign 

Where Will My Ads Be Served? (Related to LocalAds)

All LocalAds campaigns are display campaigns that can also be combined with social, search, or video campaigns depending on your goals and ad spend. Display campaigns serve banners in websites visited by your audience. Search campaigns promote your services on Google’s search results page. Video campaigns serve ads in video platforms like Youtube.

Can I Target Multiple Audiences In The Same Campaign?

You can, but we strongly recommend you to focus on one set of audience per campaign. Having multiple audiences will split your medi spend budget and might cause your ads to perform not so well. If you prefer to target more than one audience, we highly recommend increasing your media spend budget so that your ads are served in a more efficient manner to each audience.

How Often Can I Make Changes To My Campaign?

 After the launch of a campaign, we perform one round of revision free of cost. We try to limit constant changes in order to analyze how well the ad is performing and in order to optimize it to its full potential. Any additional revisions will incur a flat fee ($80) depending on the revisions requested – for ad changes book a call with us in order to go over exact details to change. As any further changes will illicit a charge of $80 each time. 

What is a Facebook Pixel?

The Facebook pixel is a piece of code that is placed on your website and lets us measure, optimize, and build audiences for your campaign. When a user visits your website and takes an action (ex. Making a purchase, submitting a form), the pixel is triggered and reports the action. This allows us to track when a customer completed an action after seeing your Facebook ad. This gives us the ability to reach this customer again by using a custom audience or create a lookalike audience based on users who have already converted. 

Do You Monitor Comments On My Facebook Ads?

We don’t monitor comments left on your ads. As a business, you will receive notifications from Facebook or Instagram every time a reaction, comment, or share is left on an ad. 

Will I Be Able To See My Campaign Within My Own Ads Manager?

We run all of our campaigns out of our own ads manager as it simplifies our billing process. It also allows us to ensure control of all aspects of the campaign. We also have numerous softwares running within our Ads Manager accounts to prevent click-fraud and bot-clicks in order to make your campaigns more efficiently.

Do You Provide Stock Images?

We can absolutely provide stock images if requested and required. However, we recommend that you provide professional images of the business to ensure an authentic and engaging Facebook or Instagram campaign. 

What If We Already Are Using Our Own Facebook Pixel, Are We Able To Continue Using This?

Yes, although we will request access to this in order to help run the campaign more effectively so you will be able to see the best possible results from the Facebook ad.

If We Run A Contest Ad, Will You Aid In Picking A Winner?

No, we will not. We are able to run an ad to help promote a contest the business is running but will not pick a winner once the contest in complete. It will be your responsibility to follow whatever stipulations that are in place for the contest. 

What Are The Limitations On FB Ads?

We highly recommend you to take a look at Facebook’s advertising policy for more detailed information: https://www.facebook.com/policies/ads/ 

How Will My Ad(s) Show Up In Relevant Searches?

Your ad(s) will only show up when relevant keywords are searched on Google. 

What Keywords Are Selected For The Campaign?

When ordering this service, you’ll have the opportunity to specify the goal of the campaign and who we should target. We also ask for the top 10 keywords that may be related to this business. Our team of strategists will use this information to develop a successful campaign.

What Type of Digital Advertising Is Better? What Do You Recommend?

It depends on what you’re trying to achieve. Active advertising through platforms like Google Search Ads can be great because we can place ads in front of users who are already interested in our product or service — these people have intent to purchase. However, it can be more expensive.

Passive Advertising (Facebook Ads & Google Display Ads) is a great way to target people based on their interests and demographics. For example, Facebook Ads allow businesses to target realtors specifically.

With a responsive design, your website will automatically adjust to the size and orientation of the device it’s being viewed on. That means no more horizontal scrolling or awkwardly sized text for users on a mobile phone.

Responsive design ensures that your website looks great no matter what device your customer is using. Whether they’re on a desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone, the website will rearrange its content and layout to fit the screen. This is done by detecting the user’s screen size and orientation. For example, on a mobile device the layout will be much narrower than on a desktop.

PNG is also a very compatible format for the web. PNG’s are great for smaller images with a lot of detail. The PNG format also supports transparent background capability which is perfect for logos and graphical elements.

GIF’s are good for small images with limited color. GIF’s are unique because they can be animated, which is sometimes useful.

No problem! We can provide customization to any website our team has built. Please reach out to your web developer for assistance on quoting the integration, searching for functionality, or design assistance. Your web developer will provide you the hourly costs needed to customize your site.

Do I need to host the website with your hosting platform?

No, but we will require the website to be built in our hosting environment. After that, you are free to move to any host. We do not provide migration services to other platforms. Our team is not familiar with this. We can export the website files but you will need to find a service provider to assist with the migration.

Do I have all backend access once the website is completed?

Yes! All websites we build for our clients are granted the same access as our web designers. This is accessed thru our client portal – the business center – login.cyrusson.com

Is SSL Included on my website?

Yes, all websites hosted on Website Pro automatically receive SSL certifications.

Can we use special themes from themeforest or envato marketplace, etc?

Yes, however, these are custom website builds and will be subject to our hourly integration costs. Please note, these custom themes are limited to the layout, structure, and features the theme provides.

Can you transfer sites from Square, Wix, Mono, Duda or Shopify?

No, the companies above use proprietary web building services. Once you leave their hosting you will lose the website and will need a new website created.

How do I estimate customization costs, If I don’t want to stick to your framework templates?

On average, it takes us 1 hour to customize 2 website pages. Please, keep in mind that we charge by the hour and will round up our hourly costs. For example, if you need to customize 3 website pages, we’ll charge you for 2 hours instead of 1.5.

Can you create a template out of a custom site you’ve built for me to reuse?

Can you create a template out of a custom site you’ve built for me to reuse?
