Challenge: Easy Climber faced challenges in a competitive market dominated by industry leaders such as Stiltz Homelift, Acorn Stairlifts, and Stannah Stairlifts.

I've worked with many web designers over the years, and none come close to having the organization, communication, and delivery of Farewell Media. Their onboarding platform kept me on track to deliver what they needed from me, and their regular updates let me know exactly where the project stood at any moment. They created a top-notch website and continue to manage it for me, delivering exceptional customer service in response to my inquiries. Highly recommend!

SEO Review from Jacqueline Keen
For over ten years, our company has partnered with Sharp Guys to manage our website design and SEO strategy, and their impact on our business has been nothing short of exceptional. From the beginning, they have understood our industries unique needs and designed a website that not only looks professional but also serves as a powerful tool to connect with our customers.
One of the standout qualities of Sharp Guys is their responsiveness. When we need updates or have questions, they often reply within an hour, ensuring that our digital presence remains up-to-date and competitive. Their proactive approach has saved us time and helped us stay ahead of the curve in our industry.
Beyond just maintaining our website, Sharp Guys has consistently brought innovative marketing ideas to the table. A perfect example is the knife campaign: they developed a creative initiative that allowed prospects to sign up online to receive a knife, which was then personally delivered by our sales team. This campaign opened doors to hard-to-reach customers and has generated hundreds of new business opportunities over the years.
Their expertise in digital advertising has also played a critical role in our growth. By setting up and optimizing our Google Ads campaigns and fine-tuning our keyword strategy, Sharp Guys has helped us steadily increase our inbound leads. The results speak for themselves: our quoted business has surpassed the million-dollar mark, proving that their approach is not just effective but also highly profitable.
After a decade of working together, we can confidently say that Cody and the Sharp Guys crew is a valuable partner in our success. Their deep understanding of our industry, lightning-fast responsiveness, and innovative marketing strategies have made a significant impact on our business. We look forward to many more years of collaboration.

We are a new client having worked with Sharp Guys for a little over a year. They've been great to work with! They are excellent communicators, effectively addressing our website questions or resolving any functionality challenges. They've also offered very practical recommendations for improvements. Given we're a nonprofit, they've made the effort to understand our needs and our limitations in terms of funding and capacity and have become a key technology resource for our staff.

David Diseño Web y Marketing's Review Sourced from Google
In our case it didn't go very well, we paid almost €1,000 for web optimization work and we didn't really see any improvement even though they continually told us that the website improved in loading and performance, some tasks were done that we didn't really understand and They did not have an impact on results or they did not show us that this was the case. We spent more than a month sending reports, error data, answering everything they asked of us but nothing.
Finally we had to expand the hosting services to obtain some improvement, after a few interventions kiwop no longer took care of anything else.
To this day we do not know what was done, nor evidence that the website improved in any aspect, I am not saying that it was not done, but rather that we do not know what was done and how it had an impact on the website (to this day we continue to have serious problems web performance).
Of course, they always answered and the treatment was friendly and professional.

We contracted Josh to help us with our digital marketing strategy. After a deep analysis of our fintech business, competitors and our target market, he provided us with a well thought out strategy that met our requirements and budget. His team did an excellent job of implementing the strategy and we saw positive results in the first month post-implementation. I'm amazed at the wide marketing knowledge Josh has and would recommend him in a heart beat!

We contracted Josh for a 6-month period to audit and enhance our website, SEO, and paid media strategy for our car leasing business. The results have been great, with lowered cost-per-click (CPC) and higher conversion rates (CR) across all our campaigns. Working with Josh was a great experience – he's professional, efficient, and really knows his stuff. We're definitely looking forward to working with him again soon. Definitely would recommend for anyone looking to get the most out of their digital marketing budget.

I am so grateful for the work Josh did for me!
I have no clue about marketing, but he always took the time to break things down for me so I could understand the process.
He taught me how to grow organically, how to do social advertising cheaply whilst getting good results. He also showed me how to automate many processes using marketing technology, so I could focus on other parts of my job!
He was always really pleasant to work with and I highly recommend!
Thanks Josh!

7 Frequently Asked Questions About SEO Consulting Services
What is the difference between an SEO consulting company and an SEO agency?
An SEO consulting company offers strategic expertise in a particular field or vertical, such as eCommerce SEO, but relies on your team for execution. Conversely, an SEO agency provides strategy and execution in one package but lacks the specialized depth of a consultant.
Hire SEO consulting services when:
Your primary need is strategic direction, and you have the internal capacity to execute.
You want one person to be accountable for the whole picture.
Your engagement is so complex that you require specialized thinking.
Hire an SEO agency when:
You need scale: high-volume content production, link building, and technical execution across a large site.
You want a team covering multiple disciplines under one contract.
Continuity of service matters more than continuity of the relationship.
The decision ultimately depends on your scope, accountability, and day-to-day management.
When should you consider a flat monthly retainer or an hourly consulting fee?
Consider a flat monthly fee for predictable work, and an hourly consulting fee for occasional input rather than day-to-day execution.
The table below compares both models across the decisions that matter most: predictability, risk, and fit.
Flat monthly retainer
Hourly consulting fee
Pros
Predictable for budgeting and provides a clear deliverable structure
Flexible scope and pricing that adjusts to your actual needs
Risks
Scope creep: consultant underdelivers and hides behind the retainer, or the package no longer meets your expanding needs
Difficult to manage, as hours can be consumed by calls and reports rather than high-value work
Best for
Businesses with a well-defined, recurring scope of work
Businesses that need occasional expert input rather than ongoing execution
Another alternative is to start your engagement with the SEO consultant on an hourly fee, when you need a high-level strategy the most. Then shift a monthly retainer for day-to-day management and execution of SEO work.
What are the typical hidden fees or separate costs that are usually not included in a standard SEO retainer?
Most SEO retainers are priced for a narrower scope than buyers assume. The gap between what the proposal covers and what the work requires only becomes visible after the contract is signed. Before you agree to a monthly fee, ask your consultant to confirm in writing whether each of the following is included or billed separately:
Tools and software. Some SEO experts bill tracking and data analytics platforms, like Ahrefs and Screaming Frog, as pass-through costs.
Content production. Many retainers include content strategy, briefs, and optimization, but not actual production work. Clarify with your consultant if they are creating the content or if you need a separate writer for the job.
Link building. Outreach-based link building is often priced as a separate campaign from standard retainers. Some experts charge per link placement; others charge a flat monthly fee.
Technical development. SEO consultants often identify technical fixes, with implementation considered a separate cost.
Paid amplification. Some content-led SEO strategies include paid promotion to accelerate indexing and traffic. This is never included in a standard retainer.
One-time project work. A full site migration, a penalty recovery assessment, or a new market entry strategy are typically scoped as separate projects, not absorbed into a monthly fee.
What questions should you ask the SEO specialists during the evaluation stage?
Ask questions that pressure-test judgment, not just credentials. SEO consulting companies who have genuinely done this work will answer with specificity. One who hasn't will answer with confidence that falls apart under follow-up.
Here are 8 questions to help evaluate the SEO services company's capabilities:
How will you translate your SEO strategy into our specific business outcomes, and what does your strategic roadmap look like for the first 90 days?
What is your specific experience navigating SEO within our industry’s regulatory compliance or B2B/B2C buying cycle?
Can you walk us through your exact process for acquiring backlinks? What types of links do you strictly refuse to build?
How do you handle complex technical SEO issues, such as site architecture migrations or international targeting?
Who actually does the work on my account, and how much of your time is involved?
What specific assets, access tokens, and internal stakeholder hours do you need from us during the first 30 days to prevent onboarding stagnation?
How do you isolate your SEO results from our other marketing channels (like PPC, PR, or direct brand growth) in your reporting?
How do you protect our site and pivot your strategy when a major search engine algorithm update rolls out mid-campaign?
What are the critical metrics you should insist on seeing to know the campaign is succeeding?
Rankings and total traffic volume are not business measurements. Any reporting framework built around these two metrics alone shows your activity, not impact. Insist on a dashboard that connects organic search performance directly to revenue outcomes, including the following:
Organic sessions for commercial pages. This allows you to evaluate the traffic that actually generates leads or sales.
Keyword ranking movement for target terms. A ranked priority list of keywords identified and tracked at the start of the engagement, and how it has been moving during the engagement.
Organic-attributed leads and conversions. Reports that connect SEO activity to CRM analytics or goals, including leads, pipeline, and conversions.
Search Console impressions and click-through rate (CTR) on priority pages. Impressions inform you whether Google is serving your pages for relevant queries. CTR shows you whether your titles and meta descriptions are compelling enough to earn the click.
According to FirstPageSage, the average ROI for technical SEO is 117% with break-even at month six, while thought leadership SEO reaches 748% ROI within nine months. These benchmarks are what a properly measured campaign should be able to work toward.
What is a realistic timeline for seeing results from your SEO consultant’s strategies?
Realistically, you should start seeing initial movement after 3-6 months of implementing the SEO consultant's strategies. By the 6-12-month mark, you should record sustained, measurable results, such as an increase in qualified leads and organic-attributed revenue.
The final timeline of results will depend on:
Your existing SEO and website performance
Industry competition level
Current SEO landscape
How quickly you implement the SEO strategies
Below is an estimated timeline on what to expect during your engagement:
Months 3-4: Improvement in traffic for target pages and longtail keyword impressions
Months 4-6: Higher ranking for lower-competition terms and early growth on optimized pages
Months 6-9: Upward trend on organic sessions to commercial pages and organic-assisted conversions
Months 9-12: Compounding traffic growth, with more pages entering the top 20 for target terms
When is it the right time to switch SEO specialists, and how do you do it without losing ground?
Consider switching SEO specialists when there is no measurable improvement within 3-6 months, without clear explanations and action plans on how to resolve the situation. Another signal is when you observe repeated behavioral problems, including a lack of transparency and communication.
Here are some signs that it is time to leave your current SEO engagement:
You are past month 6 with no measurable movement, and the explanations are vague.
Your consultant cannot tell you, specifically, what they are working on for the month and why.
Reporting is late, inconsistent, or contains metrics you have asked to change.
You have raised concerns about results, and the response was defensive rather than diagnostic.
You have discovered tactics being used that you were not told about, particularly anything involving low-quality link schemes or AI-generated content at volume.
Before you switch SEO specialists, do the following to avoid losing ground and ensure a smooth transition:
Request access to all documents, reports, keyword tracking data, and content and assets produced during the engagement.
Confirm that you have full admin access to Search Console, Analytics, and any tools setup under your domain.
Set a 30-day knowledge transfer period in your exit agreement to protect continuity on any in-flight work and provide incoming consultant context.
Brief your incoming consultant on what was done, what worked, and what did not before they started their own audit.
