FAQs
How much do ProfileTree’s SEO services cost?
Our SEO services typically range from £500-£5,000+ per month, depending on scope, competition, and goals. We provide custom quotes based on your specific situation rather than one-size-fits-all packages. Contact us for a proposal tailored to your needs.
Do you work with small businesses?
Yes, we work with businesses of all sizes, from sole traders to larger organisations. We scale our approach and recommendations to match your budget and capacity. Many of our longest client relationships are with SMEs.
How long before we see SEO results?
Typically 3-6 months for meaningful improvements, with results compounding over 12+ months. Timeline depends on competition, current website state, and investment level. We set realistic expectations during consultation rather than making promises we can’t keep.
Do you require long-term contracts?
We typically recommend 6-12 month engagements because SEO takes time, but we don’t lock clients into contracts they can’t exit. We’d rather earn your continued business than trap you contractually. Our client retention speaks to our delivery.
Can we meet in person?
Yes, we’re based in Belfast and happy to meet clients in person throughout Northern Ireland and Ireland. We also work effectively remotely with clients across the UK and beyond, using video calls and collaboration tools.
What makes you different from other SEO agencies?
Our full-service integration means SEO connects with web design, content, and video rather than operating in isolation. Our 14+ years of experience and 450+ 5-star reviews demonstrate consistent delivery. Our Belfast base provides local expertise with all-island and UK reach. And our honest, practical communication style means you’ll always know where you stand.
Do you outsource any work?
Core capabilities—strategy, content, development, design—stay in-house. We use specialist freelancers for specific needs occasionally, always under our quality control. You’ll always know who’s working on your account.
