SEO

Why a redesign kills rankings, the recovery plan in order (redirects first, always), and the checklist that makes the next redesign safe.

The honest SEO timeline: weeks for fixes, months for traffic, quarters for competitive terms, and the monthly milestones that separate real work from stalling.

Agencies sell capacity, freelancers sell hands, consultants sell judgment. The trade-offs nobody in a sales call admits, and how to pick in three questions.

Ads answer today, SEO answers next year. The honest five-row comparison and the ads-then-SEO sequence that fits most small brands.

What drives SEO pricing, the three models it is sold under, the checklist of what must be included, and the questions that expose a quote in minutes.

Traffic that does not sell is one of three leaks: wrong visitors, a broken path, or stranded landings. How to find yours in ten minutes and fix it.

The nine real reasons a website does not show up on Google, the thirty-second test that tells you which one is yours, and the plain-language fixes for each.

The politest self-sabotage in SEO: the blog post ranks, the category page that converts sits buried, and traffic never becomes revenue. The role-based fix: retarget the post, give the money page the buying query, and route authority downward.

One export and two filters give you a cannibalization map of the whole site. The method in Ahrefs, Semrush, or any crawler: flag every keyword where multiple URLs rank, filter to what matters, and fix by value.

Search Console shows cannibalization plainly once you know where to look. The exact click-by-click method: filter to a query, open the Pages tab, spot the URL flip, and build a fix list for free.
