## Traffic you rent disappears
Paid acquisition stops the moment the budget does, and every platform algorithm change rewrites your reach overnight. Organic search and store rankings are the rare channels that compound instead of expiring.

Most SEO retainers sell activity: audits nobody implements, content nobody reads, reports nobody questions. What moves rankings is unglamorous engineering and content mapped to real intent.

## Rankings as an engineering discipline
We start with the technical layer: crawlability, Core Web Vitals, structured data, and information architecture, because content cannot rank on a site that search engines struggle to read.

Then content and listings are mapped to actual query intent, and every change is measured against traffic and conversions. You see leading indicators weekly, not a quarterly slide deck.

## What they own
- **Technical SEO**: Crawl health, Core Web Vitals, structured data, and redirects handled at the engineering level.
- **Content strategy**: Keyword clusters mapped to intent, briefs your writers can execute, and pages built to be cited.
- **App store optimization**: Store listings, keyword targeting, and conversion tests across the App Store and Google Play.
- **Measurement & reporting**: Search Console, analytics, and rank tracking wired into a weekly signal you can actually act on.

## Stack
- **Search:** Technical SEO, On-page SEO, Schema markup, Content strategy
- **App stores:** ASO, Store listings, Keyword research, Conversion testing
- **Measurement:** Search Console, Google Analytics, Ahrefs, SEMrush

## FAQ
**How much does it cost to hire an SEO / ASO expert?**

Rates run $15–35 per hour, depending on scope and seniority. A free consultation audits where your rankings stand before you spend anything.

**Do you cover both web SEO and app store optimization?**

Yes. The same specialist handles technical and content SEO for your site and ASO for your App Store and Google Play listings, so the search strategy stays coherent across surfaces.

**How long until SEO shows results?**

Technical fixes move indicators in weeks; content and authority compound over months. We report leading signals weekly so you are never guessing whether it is working.

**Can you recover a site that lost rankings?**

Yes. Recovery starts with diagnosis: algorithm updates, technical regressions, and content decay each demand a different fix. The audit tells you which one you have before any work is billed.
