Support team is a breath of fresh air, they’ll get on the phone and engage with you, will solve problems that I was working on for legit 6-8 months with Google. There’s a point where I don’t want to work with people who won’t give us this level of service. It did not take long to go from ideation to need to solution, and then repeat that solution for another partner – that’s great. It makes all the difference.
We’re thrilled with everything that’s gone on. We’re in a better place, period. We’re not on a platform that isn’t being invested in, that’s stagnant. You guys are always trying to make [VEGA] better. Our growth has largely been fueled by your growth, it’s more than transactional.
One thing that’s glaringly obvious is how fast [VEGA] is. I can pull historical data and it is stupid fast. That is awesome. James used to get coffee while a report ran, he can’t do that anymore.

SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is the process of optimizing a website to improve its visibility and ranking on search engine results pages (SERPs). It’s important because it helps businesses attract organic traffic, increase their online visibility, and ultimately drive more leads and conversions.
SEO is a long-term strategy, and the timeline for seeing results can vary depending on factors such as the competitiveness of the industry, the current state of the website, and the effectiveness of the SEO efforts. Generally, noticeable improvements can be seen within a few months, but significant results may take six months to a year or more.
Several key factors influence SEO rankings, including the relevance and quality of content, website structure and navigation, backlink profile, user experience (UX), site speed, mobile-friendliness, and technical optimizations.
While some basic SEO tasks can be done by individuals with a good understanding of SEO principles, achieving significant results often requires expertise, experience, and access to specialized tools and resources. Hiring an experienced SEO agency can help ensure that your SEO efforts are strategic, effective, and aligned with your business goals.
The cost of SEO services can vary depending on factors such as the scope of work, the competitiveness of the industry, and the experience level of the SEO agency. Some agencies offer fixed-price packages, while others may charge on a monthly retainer basis. It’s important to discuss pricing and expectations with potential SEO providers to find a solution that fits your budget and needs.
Ranking #1 on Google for highly competitive keywords can be challenging and may require significant time, resources, and ongoing optimization efforts. However, focusing on long-tail keywords (more specific, less competitive phrases) and niche topics can still yield valuable organic traffic and visibility improvements.
SEO is an ongoing process that requires continuous monitoring, optimization, and adaptation to changes in search engine algorithms, industry trends, and competitor strategies. Regular updates to content, technical improvements, and link-building efforts are essential for maintaining and improving SEO rankings over time.
