Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the work of getting a business's pages to rank higher in Google's organic results. Higher positions earn more clicks, and organic clicks cost nothing per visit.
Google crawls pages, stores them in its index and ranks them for each search by relevance and authority. SEO work improves all three: pages Google can crawl, content that matches what people search, and links and mentions from other trusted sites.
Google Ads buys a place above the organic results for as long as you pay per click. SEO earns a place in the organic results that keeps producing clicks after the work is done. Many businesses run ads while SEO builds.
A typical engagement starts with an audit of the site and the keywords buyers use. Then come technical fixes, new and rewritten pages, internal links, Google Business Profile work for local searches and outreach for links.
Ask which keywords they will report, who runs your account and what they shipped for a similar client in month one. Check the agency's score and star breakdown here, then book calls with two.
It depends on competition and where your site starts. Ask each agency for a dated result from a client in a similar market.
No agency controls Google or AI engines, so a guaranteed position is a warning sign. Ask which measures they will report each month instead.
Track clicks, enquiries and sales from the channel in your analytics, against the measures agreed at the start.
