What makes KickstartSEO different from other SEO agencies?

KickstartSEO brings small businesses nearly 30 years of digital marketing experience. Our innovative Onsite Optimizer tool and user-friendly KickstartSEO Portal set us apart. We offer DIY and fully managed SEO solutions tailored to small business needs across the UK.

How long does it take to see results from SEO?

SEO is a gradual process. Many clients notice improvements within 3-6 months, but substantial results typically take 6-12 months. Factors like your industry, competition, and current website status affect the timeline.

Optimiser Essentials is our DIY package, giving you SEO tools and guidance to manage your own strategy. Optimiser Plus is our full-service option, where we handle all aspects of your SEO. Both use our KickstartSEO Portal and Onsite Optimizer tool.

Do I need technical skills to use Optimiser Essentials?

No technical skills are needed. Our tools, including the Onsite Optimizer, are designed for ease of use. We provide clear guidance to help you implement effective SEO strategies.

How does the Onsite Optimizer work?

The Onsite Optimizer lets you make SEO changes directly on your website without accessing your content management system. It offers AI-powered recommendations and one-click implementation, simplifying SEO tasks.

Can KickstartSEO help with local SEO?

Absolutely. We specialise in local SEO strategies, helping businesses improve local search visibility, optimise for "near me" searches, and manage local business listings.

Do you offer any guarantees?

Due to ever-changing search algorithms, we can't guarantee specific rankings. However, we guarantee our commitment to improving your website's SEO performance, providing regular progress reports.

How much do KickstartSEO's services cost?

Our pricing varies based on your chosen service. Optimiser Essentials starts at £44.99 per month, while Optimiser Plus begins at £299 per month. Visit our SEO services page for detailed pricing information.

Can I cancel my service at any time?

Optimiser Essentials can be cancelled anytime. Optimiser Plus has a 3-month initial commitment, after which you can cancel with 30 days' notice.

How do I get started with KickstartSEO?

Getting started is straightforward once you've chosen the package that best suits your needs. Follow the instructions on the service page for your chosen package (Optimiser Essentials or Optimiser Plus). If you need help determining which service is right, we recommend starting with our free SEO audit. This will give you a clear picture of your website's current SEO status and help you make an informed decision.

What's included in the free SEO audit?

Our free SEO audit includes an analysis of your website's technical SEO, content quality, backlink profile, and competitor comparison. We also provide a 15-minute consultation to discuss the findings and potential strategies.

How do you report on SEO progress?

We believe in transparent, regular reporting for all our clients. For Optimiser Plus clients, we provide a monthly video report reviewing actions taken and results achieved. Clients can then book a follow-up call via Zoom or Microsoft Teams to discuss the report and ask questions. Optimiser Plus and Optimiser Essentials clients have access to on-demand reporting through the KickstartSEO Portal, allowing you to check your SEO progress anytime. This combination of scheduled reviews and real-time access ensures you're always informed about your SEO performance.

Do you work with specific industries?

We work with small businesses across various industries. Our strategies are tailored to each client's specific sector and target audience.

Can I switch between Optimiser Essentials and Optimiser Plus?

Yes, you can upgrade from Optimiser Essentials to Optimiser Plus at any time. Downgrading from Plus to Essentials is possible after the initial commitment period.

How do you stay updated with Google's algorithm changes?

Our team continually monitors industry news and Google's official communications. We adjust our strategies promptly to align with algorithm updates, ensuring our clients' SEO efforts remain effective.

What if I need help with DIY SEO?

At KickstartSEO, doing it yourself doesn't mean doing it alone. That's why we offer an optional onboarding service for Optimiser Essentials clients. For an additional £10 per month, you'll receive:

  • Assistance setting up your KickstartSEO Portal
