Frequently Asked Questions

We don’t guess – we test…

and we’ve been doing SEO experiments for close to 10 years now, so we understand fully what it takes to be successful in search results. We’re one of the only agencies certified in Scientific SEO in the US and with all our experience, we’re able to guarantee results. Unlike Sociallyin, many agencies offer this service without having anyone in-house that’s actually managed successful campaigns and watched stats like a hawk for years. Instead, someone in the digital department gets assigned the task of ‘figuring out this SEO stuff since our clients are asking about it’.

I feel sorry for whoever that is because they have their work cut out for them! Their first recourse is usually to start reading up on some ‘trusted industry blogs’ and if I am being completely honest, those sources are good sometimes and wildly inaccurate at others. Much like the job of delivering SEO for clients gets pushed off on someone new at the agency, writing about SEO tactics often falls on a junior SEO at an industry journal. That writer ends up copying and rewording a lot of information they find on top-ranking blogs for whatever subject they’re tasked to write about. You get a lot of false statements that somehow make their way into SEO cannon like the ideas that:

• Duplicate content will always hurt your site [FALSE]
• If a keyword tool like SEMrush shows zero traffic, you shouldn’t waste time on that keyword [FALSE]
• Link-building doesn’t work anymore [FALSE]

Over the years, this regurgitation of information from supposedly valid sources has often led to a complete misunderstanding of how search engine algorithms actually work. At my agency, we never take anything at face value until we’ve thoroughly tested and verified exactly how Google will respond to a particular change. Here’s the reality:

• A certain percentage of duplicate content is perfectly normal and if this myth were true, every site that has a reviews carousel repeated on multiple pages would get slapped with a penalty.
• ‘Zero traffic keywords’ often just aren’t being picked up yet by even the best of tools. You can use Google Trends to get ahead of the rest of the SEOs in your niche by optimizing for these terms before everyone else.
• The ‘death of link building’ topic keeps getting republished over and over in blogs each year, but it’s just not going to happen.

The ability to separate fact from fiction and only focus on work that delivers a tangible result is what sets the SEO team at Sociallyin apart.

We work with a broad spectrum of clients. The agency as a whole has worked with many nationally recognized brands ranging from Dicks sporting goods, Carnival Cruise Lines, Samsung, TGI Fridays, Boys and Girls Club, Electric Monkey, A3C Hiphop Festival and more.

The cost ranges anywhere between 2K – 30K / Month for small businesses. We always lead with strategy to make sure we’re being as efficient as possible.

We usually always start with a strategy when we are doing a full engagement. It allows us to be smart with your 💵 and generate rapid results through SEO.

There are no minimum contracts at SEO by Sociallyin…Our clients can cancel anytime with a 30 days notice, but our retention at the time of writing is literally 💯 percent for the year because our work is all substance and 0️⃣ % hype.

We always put together 90 day strategy plans because this is SEO after all and we do need a few months to prove it works. You can cancel prior to that, but if you give us 90-days to produce a return on investment – on average – we’ll turn 1 💵 into 3.
