Gerbil SEO FAQ

FAQ Services

Do you only work in NJ?

For the most part, since I’m located in Northern New Jersey, however if a group needs assistance I can do a group meet. I can also be persuaded by a mountain to hike or a cool backpacking trip. Send us a message to see how far we travel.

How fast will I see results?

Depends, Google updates take weeks, but fixing basics (profile, keywords, speed) can bump you up in weeks or even days. Most clients see local searches double in 1 to 3 months but depends on factors like competition and target audience.

How long will you be on-site?

That’s client dependent (as little as 30 min to 1-2 hours if we get deep into search engine optimization talks), we can make it quick or extend a bit for your benefit. I will run the SEO consultant audit and prepare a full report, nothing fancy just a black and white pdf and show you what is good and what can use improvement. The report will have actionable SEO expert recommendations built in.

Do I need to know tech stuff to use your SEO services?

Nope. I do the audit, explain the results face-to-face, and show you how to use the tools like Google Business Profile in plain English. You just need to show up. Contact us now to learn more!

FAQ Basics

What is AI or Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)?

In its simplest form, AI is a computer algorithm that recognizes trends from data over a period of time and learns to predict what is next. AGI on the other hand is a computer software that thinks, learns and solves problems like humans such as poetry, writing and producing Netflix shows, fixing cars, plumbing etc. We are currently at the early stages of AGI, but AI is here and AGI will be here fast.

What’s the first search engine optimization trick I should use to drive traffic to my website?

Google Business Profile. It’s free, takes ten minutes, and shows up when someone makes “near me” searches. Claim it, add photos, hours, boom, you’re on the map in minutes.

Why does my website load slow; does it matter?

Yes! People bounce from websites if it’s over three seconds. Check PageSpeed Insights, compress pics, ditch junk plugins. Sounds hard but no tech degree is needed. Our SEO services will make it simple to get your website ranking!

Do I need to write blog posts every week?

Nope, not unless you love it. Start with one good page like “Why Your Business Helps Someone” then update your Google profile monthly. That’s enough to keep your website ranking like a search engine optimization expert.

How do I know if my SEO is working?

Easy! Check SEO optimization traffic in Google analytics so you can see spikes over different time frames. By linking Google Search Console, you can see what words drove them there. Check out the Expert SEO Tips page for more tips!
