Is SEO Right For My Business?

Best for long-term, compounding growth

SEO is always one of our top recommendations for a local service-based business, especially one that's budget-constrained. Unlike pay-per-click ads, SEO is an asset you keep. The more we improve your site's SEO, the higher you rank for keywords that bring customers to contact you. You're not paying per click, you're paying for the time we spend improving your website.

Not the right fit if you need leads this week

SEO timelines for results that affect your bottom line range from 1 to 6 months of consistent work, not passive waiting. If you need leads immediately, we'd recommend Google Ads or Meta Ads instead.

Pricing

How Much Does SEO Cost?

No ad spend required

There's no ad spend with SEO. You're not paying per click the way you would with Google Ads or Meta Ads. You're paying for expertise and time, either yours or ours.

Retainer-based, starting at $1,500/month

Pricing generally breaks down into a one-time project (audit or initial optimization, typically $300 to $5,000+ depending on site size), or an ongoing retainer, which is how most SEO work gets done since rankings require continuous effort. Any SEO engagement with us starts at $1,500/month.

Timeline

How Long Until I See Results?

It depends on where you're starting from

A brand new site with no history typically needs 6 to 12 months for meaningful results. An older site that's never been optimized can see results in 3 to 5 months, since it likely already has some authority to build on.

Individual keywords move at different speeds

Low-competition terms can show movement in weeks. Competitive terms can take a year or more. The full breakdown, including the keyword-difficulty rule of thumb, is in How Long Does SEO Take?

Common Questions

SEO in Vancouver. FAQs

How long does SEO take to work for a small business?+
Results that move your bottom line typically take 1 to 6 months of consistent work. Full breakdown: How Long Does SEO Take?
Are SEO timelines really 3 to 6 months, or can it be faster?+
3 to 6 months is realistic, but it can move faster or slower depending on your site's authority. How long your site has been indexed by Google, how many quality backlinks you have, and your current monthly traffic all affect the timeline. A site with existing authority can see results in half that time. A brand new site with no history should expect the longer end, or beyond it.
How much does SEO cost per month?+
We charge a minimum of $1,500/month for any SEO engagement. Exact scope depends on site size and competitiveness, but that's the floor for meaningful ongoing work. Full pricing breakdown: How Much Does SEO Cost?
What's included in a monthly SEO retainer?+
Scope changes based on the size of your website, but in general: keyword research to identify gaps and ranking opportunities, a full SEO audit, baseline technical fixes (meta descriptions, heading structure, alt text, internal linking, site architecture), then ongoing content development built around the keywords we've identified.
Do I keep my website and rankings if I stop working with Lapiy Marketing?+
Yes. You retain everything. Nothing we build for you is lost when the engagement ends. That said, the SERP is a competitive landscape that's constantly changing. Sites that keep publishing useful content get favored over ones that stop. Reaching the number one rank doesn't mean staying there indefinitely without continued effort.
What is a Google Business Profile and why does it matter for SEO?+
Your Google Business Profile is what shows up in the map pack when someone searches a keyword relevant to your business. For a local service business, it's often the first thing a potential customer sees, which makes it one of the most important local SEO assets you have.
