What to Expect with Your Campaigns
One of the most common questions we get is how long it will take to start seeing results. Every business and strategy is different so there’s not a black-and-white answer, but we’ll share some benchmarks:
Paid Advertising (PPC & Social Ads)
- For existing accounts, we can take over and begin oversight immediately
- For campaign restructures, we typically need 3 weeks to get client feedback, build the new structure, and ensure proper conversion tracking
- Within 2-3 months (often sooner), we’ll know if our new campaign structure and adjustments are driving the sales and leads you need for growth
- Results vary based on:
- Industry competition
- Keyword difficulty
- Budget allocation
- Campaign complexity
- We quickly optimize underperforming campaigns and maintain full transparency about performance

SEO
- Our first 3-4 weeks focus on developing a comprehensive SEO strategy tailored to your business goals. We do an audit of your URL structure, title tag and descriptions and look into other low hanging fruit that could make an immediate difference. For example, for FUSIAN Sushi, who had 15 locations, their primary category was listed as an Asian restaurant and not a sushi restaurant. By making this quick change, they saw an uptick in visibility.
- We create a detailed 6-month roadmap of SEO deliverables. You’ll know each month what we’re working on, why we’re working on it and the increase in keywords based on our implementations.
- New websites with low authority face challenges. For instance, in competitive verticals like personal injury law, ranking quickly is difficult. We may implement a strategic blog approach to build backlinks and gradually increase site authority. Websites with average to above-average authority can experience faster positive results.
- User experience is crucial for SEO. Even if you aren’t seeing immediate ranking improvements, we’ll be enhancing your site to provide a better experience for prospective customers. This focus on user experience leads to higher conversion rates, creating value beyond search engine rankings.

Email Marketing
Email marketing generates $44 for every $1 spent. It’s one of the best return on investments for our clients. Learn more about the process of getting set-up and sustaining success.
- When we inherit a new email marketing campaign, it can take 2-3 weeks before we start distributing emails. Time is spent organizing lists, develop design templates and creative, creating a calendar and scheduling out the emails.
- We need to ensure that we have a list of customers and prospects within your account. If we’re creating a new account, it can take more time.
- MailChimp, Klaviyo and ConstantContact are the most popular email marketing platforms we use.
- We only perform email marketing services to clients that have cultivated a list of prospects and leads. If you have a large list that was purchased, we are not the best fit.
- For all clients, we recommend some sort of pop-up on the website to capture more email addresses (especially eCommerce).
- Our technical prowess allows us to track revenue and create robust automation.
