How much does SEO cost for a small business?
SEO cost depends on scope: the number of pages, the number of locations, how competitive your market is and whether you also need content, technical fixes or a new site. We scope the work after the discovery call and site audit, so the quote matches what your site actually needs. You can compare our SEO packages or see our pricing page, then talk to us about your goals.
How long does SEO take to show results?
SEO results usually build over months, not weeks, and the timing depends on your site's current condition, your competition and how quickly agreed fixes go live. Results are not guaranteed, because search engines decide rankings. What we can commit to is the work itself: a prioritised audit, an agreed plan and a monthly report showing what was done and what changed.
What happens after I book a discovery call?
A discovery call is followed by a written site audit that ranks technical, content and search issues by priority. We then turn the findings into a strategy and work plan, and you approve the plan before any changes go live. How long each step takes depends on the size of your site and how quickly you can give us access to your accounts.
Who is Pugmarks Media a good fit for?
Pugmarks Media suits businesses that want a site people can find, trust and use, and that value a planned, documented approach. We have worked in this field since 2015 and serve clients in India, the US, the UK, Europe and Australia. Specialised and regulated sectors are covered through our SEO by industry work, including dental SEO, medical and healthcare SEO and law firm SEO.
Can SEO changes hurt my website's rankings?
Poorly planned SEO changes can harm rankings, for example when URLs change without redirects or pages are removed without checking their traffic. Our process reduces that risk because every change comes from the audit, sits in an approved work plan and is made in a set order. Monthly reports then show what changed, so any unexpected effect can be spotted and dealt with early.
Do you optimise websites for AI search and local search?
Yes, we optimise pages so both search engines and AI assistants can find, understand and quote them. Our answer and generative engine optimisation work covers answer-first content and structured data. Businesses that serve a specific area can add local SEO services, which focus on map listings, location pages and local relevance. Both can be combined with our core SEO services.
