FAQ’s
How do I get started with a Ragon Creative SEO project?
First, we’ll kick off your Knoxville SEO campaign by assessing your current website, industry and business goals.
Then, we’ll optimize your website, Google My Business Profile, Apple Maps, and industry profiles using geo-specific keywords for your business. After all, your geographic location is one of the most overlooked areas of search optimization.
How much do people pay for SEO services in Knoxville?
SEO services range greatly in cost, depending on how competitive your industry and geographic location is.
According to Ahrefs, a leading SEO research tool, “Most businesses paying a monthly retainer for SEO will pay between $500 to $1,500 per month. For those paying by the hour, $75 to $100 is the most popular hourly rate. For one-off SEO projects, $2,501 to $5,000 per-project is most common.” (view source)
Every Ragon Creative client starts with a 1- or 2-month SEO Kickstart setup project. Then, we can give better recommendations on the level of monthly SEO investment that will provide the best ROI for your business. Our monthly SEO content plans don’t require a long-term contract, so you can pause or adjust to fit your marketing strategy.
How long does it take for SEO to show results?
A recent study of 4,300 marketers showed that “It typically takes between 3–6 months for SEO to show results” (view source).
However, there is no exact way to predict long it will take for your efforts to perform. Much of your success depends on the current health and reputation of your website. Most of our clients start seeing results after investing in their online presence in the first two months.
Effective marketing requires thoughtful investment, so be honest about your budget and goals — we’ll guide you down the best path for your business.
Is SEO cheaper than Google Ads?
Knoxville SEO services allow you to target a more focused audience (your dream customers) while keeping the costs low. More importantly, your flow of leads from paid ads stops immediately when you drop your ads budget. The right approach to SEO will help you target qualified leads by creating content assets on your site that build trust with potential clients—forever.
There is definitely a place for paid advertising in the short-term, but a qualified SEO agency will help you build a foundation for long-term success.
Your SEO success can drive growth with potential leads you can’t reach any other way. The content investment you build into your website provides compounding returns, 24/7.
Do I need a new website?
If you work with a high-quality website design company, then your site is probably ready to go for a new SEO optimization project. But, some so-called design experts use outdated tools and processes that hamstring your growth.
We provide our SEO and content optimization services for websites on most of the common website platforms, like WordPress, Squarespace, WIX, and others. But, we also provide complete mobile-friendly website design packages, with conversion tracking, if you need additional help.
