Questions clients ask me

SEO & Digital Marketing FAQ

Why is my SEO traffic going up but my phone isn't ringing?

Either the traffic is wrong, or it's right and something else is broken. An upward graph built for a report isn't built for you.

Read the answer →
What does an SEO agency actually do every month?

Most print a report designed to engage one client: you. My month goes into expanding your content and funnel, then measuring what it did.

Read the answer →
How long should an SEO retainer last?

Most of SEO is waiting, and Google controls the clock. I don't bill for waiting.

Read the answer →
Why does my SEO agency say it takes 6 to 12 months?

Because time is easy to bill. Most of that time is spent waiting on Google, not working for you.

Read the answer →
How long does it take Google to index my website?

Anywhere from days to 6 weeks. Fast, light sites rarely have the problem.

Read the answer →
What happens to my traffic if I stop paying my SEO agency?

If they only ran ads, it stops the day you do. A foundation built right keeps working. That's Web Equity.

Read the answer →
How do I fire my SEO agency without losing my rankings?

Hire the new one first, and own your stuff: domain, hosting, accounts, and the email it all resets to.

Read the answer →
Can I just use ChatGPT to do my own SEO?

No. AI is trained on the opinions of the masses. Market leaders are the few doing something different.

Popular SEO/SEM Myths

SEO Myth: Content Guidelines

We have all been fed arbitrary "guidelines" for ranking - like long, bloated articles or mandatory blogging schedules. These misconceptions were invented by "SEO Software" as artificial rules purely to sell subscriptions to you and the localized SEM firms that run on them. It creates an inescapable loop where the software invents the metric, and your agency bills you to chase it.

“Are you writing to a particular word count because you've heard or read that Google has a preferred word count? (No, we don't).”

SEO Myth: Backlinks & Link Schemes

One of the most criminal myths in the industry was built off a misquoted Google engineer from over a decade ago and kept alive by antiquated blog software companies trying to maintain relevance. This myth is dangerous! Paying for backlinks or participating in artificial "link schemes" exists purely to pad the long-term retainers of SEO firms and their software overlords. Why would a search engine reward you for buying fake links in back-alley solicitations? Real Web Equity means building insightful & compelling content that people naturally reference.

“Link spam is the practice of exchanging money or goods for links, or posts that contain links.”

3rd Party Tools & AI for Search Ranking

Google has repeatedly stated that it does not utilize made-up metrics from SEO software - such as Domain Authority (a proprietary score created by Moz). Furthermore, Google leadership and search advocates have emphasized that third-party tools have no access to Google’s internal ranking factors or metrics. When software dashboards spit out proprietary authority scores, they aren't measuring Google's search algorithms - they're just manufacturing a fake metric to pad their own interests and keep you hooked on their software.

“No, Google does not use scores from third-party SEO tools or services. It doesn’t matter whether it’s about a website’s authority or a rating about spamminess, Google doesn’t use these scores at all.”

The Google "Sandbox" Myth: New Websites Lag

Major SEO platforms and influencers like Neil Patel, SEMrush, and Moz love to push the idea of a Google "Sandbox." It’s a convenient narrative that makes a flat traffic line look like a penalty box - while subtly encouraging you to lean on expensive tools to fix a problem that Google says doesn't even exist.

“We use a ton of factors for crawling, indexing, and ranking, it’s possible that in certain situations, some pages show up well quickly, while others take longer. There’s no fixed rule or timeline there.”

Software & AI Shortcuts to Website Rankings

The truth is, no one fully understands the search algorithms. A marketer is much like an agent trying to score a 'deal' for your website. Since 1998, FBi has consistently scored those deals. We don't cherry-pick the results; nearly all our clients rank well, enjoy low cost ads and strong organics - usually without long-standing contracts.

“There's plenty of third-party SEO advice on the internet related to SEO, search listings, and AI experiences (sometimes called AEO for 'answer engine optimization' or GEO for 'generative engine optimization'). While some advice is helpful, others may misinterpret or make claims about what 'Google says' or how Google ranking systems work.”

SEO Software E-E-A-T's

Agencies have made a fortune charging clients thousands to audit and "optimize" their E-E-A-T. The catch? Google has explicitly stated that E-E-A-T is not a direct ranking factor. There is no algorithmic score. It’s simply a human evaluation framework used to train search quality testers - proving once again that the SEO consulting market loves to monetize acronyms that Google never built into the algorithm.

“Thinking E-E-A-T is a ranking factor… No it’s not.”
