01Which tools do you use?

Search Console, Ahrefs or Semrush, SERP captures and our own AI answer logs.

02Do we get raw data?

Yes, the full spreadsheet, not just the summary.

03How is this different from SEO strategy?

Research finds the demand. Strategy decides which page answers what, and in which order.

04How is the price fixed?

Scope, deliverables and price are agreed in writing before work starts. The starting price is the floor; your quote depends on the factors on this page.

05Can we start small?

Yes, start with the free snapshot or a smaller first scope, and expand once you have seen the work.
