Four documented results at a glance

Each row links to the full case study with the starting point, the sequence of work, the verification and who it applies to.

Every result here came out of the same process our US SEO team runs for each client: a data audit first, then a prioritised roadmap, then monthly execution.

How we verify and publish results

Every figure on these pages comes from the client’s own Google Analytics, Google Search Console and, where leads or revenue are reported, their CRM or e-commerce platform, pulled with the client’s read access and reviewed with them before publication. Comparisons are stated as the month before kickoff against a named month of the engagement, and page-one keyword counts come from Search Console. We do not publish client analytics screenshots without written permission, so each case states the figures and makes evidence available to prospective clients on request under NDA, together with a reference conversation where the client agrees. Results from one engagement do not predict another’s, and no page here claims they do.

What the four cases have in common

• ✓
  A technical ceiling removed first

  In every case, crawl, indexation, rendering or speed problems were fixed before new content was written, so later work could rank instead of stalling.
• ✓
  Decision-stage pages before volume

  Product, category, comparison and service pages that convert were built or rebuilt first; informational content came later and supported them.
• ✓
  Authority aimed at the pages that convert

  Links and PR were concentrated on the pages carrying the money terms rather than spread across the blog.
• ✓
  Reporting in the client’s own numbers

  Demo requests, inquiries, revenue share or sales, pulled from the client’s systems, decided the plan each quarter and kept the budget in place.

Which case is closest to your situation

How an engagement runs from here

1. 1
   Free audit (days 1–3)

   Send your domain and competitors. You get a top-line audit, the case closest to your situation and a USD estimate, with no obligation.
2. 2
   Full audit, plan and tracking (weeks 1–3)

   Technical, content, authority and conversion audit, a prioritized plan with milestones, and tracking connected to your leads or revenue.
3. 3
   Monthly delivery (from week 3)

   Technical fixes, decision-stage pages, content and links ship against the plan; you see the work queue each month.
4. 4
   Monthly report and quarterly re-plan

   Leads, revenue and pipeline from organic each month; each quarter the plan is re-weighted toward what converted, exactly as in the cases above.

An honest note on results

These four engagements are published because the clients agreed and the figures held up to their own scrutiny; they are not the average outcome of every engagement, and they are not promises. Each client had a specific, fixable problem, a product or category with real demand and a team willing to implement, which is why results came within three to ten months. Sites without a technical ceiling grow more gradually; contested categories take longer; and no agency controls Google’s results, which is why we report in leads and revenue, set milestones per stage and work month to month. The free audit is where we tell you which of these applies to you, including when the answer is that SEO is not your bottleneck.
