Have a question about a specific service?
Each service page has its own FAQ: SEO, Local Maps, PPC and Social Media.
Getting started
Where is SEO Houston located?
We’re based in downtown Houston at 708 Main St, Houston, TX 77002, and we’ve been helping local businesses grow online since 1999.
What services do you offer?
We offer search engine optimization, local maps SEO, link building, content marketing, pay-per-click advertising and social media marketing, along with custom website design and custom email design.
How do I get started?
The easiest first step is to request a free SEO analysis or send us a message. Tell us a little about your business and goals, and we’ll get back to you within one business day.
Is the SEO analysis really free?
Yes. We’ll review your website from an SEO perspective, point out the most important issues holding it back and share recommendations, at no cost and with no obligation.
What information do you need from me to begin?
Usually just your website address, the services you want to grow, the areas you serve and your goals. If we work together, we may also ask for access to tools like your website, Google Business Profile or analytics so we can make improvements and track results.
Working together
Who will I be working with?
You’ll work directly with our Houston-based team of marketing specialists, people who know the local market and are easy to reach by phone or email.
How involved do I need to be?
As involved as you’d like. We’ll need your input at the start to understand your business, goals and customers, and occasionally to answer questions or approve work. After that, we handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on running your business.
How will I know what you’re working on?
We provide regular reporting on the results that matter, such as rankings, website traffic, leads and campaign performance, and we explain what the numbers mean in plain English.
Can you work with my current website?
In most cases, yes. We can usually improve and optimize the website you already have. If your platform limits what’s possible, we’ll explain your options honestly.
Can I combine services like SEO, PPC and social media?
Yes, and many businesses do. Because one team handles all three, your search, ads and social media work together toward the same goal: more calls and customers.
Pricing & contracts
Do you require long-term contracts?
No. We don’t lock clients into long-term contracts. We earn your business every month by delivering results.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing depends on the services you need, how competitive your industry is and your goals. We offer packages to fit different budgets and will clearly outline what’s included before you commit. Learn more on our SEO fees page.
Can you guarantee results?
No honest marketing company can guarantee specific rankings or results, because search engines and ad platforms control their own systems. What we do guarantee is ethical work that follows search engine guidelines and complete transparency about your progress.
How long until I see results?
It depends on the service. Pay-per-click ads can start bringing in traffic within days of launch, while SEO and social media build momentum over several months. We’ll set realistic expectations for your specific situation.
Websites & other marketing
Do you build websites?
Yes. Our team offers affordable custom website design and e-commerce services for Houston businesses, built with search visibility in mind from the start.
Do you help with email marketing?
We design custom email templates that speak to your customers and reflect your brand.
Which should I start with: SEO, PPC or social media?
It depends on your goals and timeline. PPC is the fastest way to get in front of customers, SEO builds long-term visibility that keeps paying off, and social media builds relationships and loyalty. Many businesses start with one and add others over time. We’ll recommend the right starting point during your free consultation.
How is AI search changing things for small businesses?
Tools like ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews are changing how people find businesses. Clear, accurate information about your business across your website and online listings helps these tools understand and recommend you. Read more in SEO Houston News.
Is my information safe with you?
Yes. We never sell your personal information. You can read the details in our privacy policy.
