Questions? We Have Answers!

  • What Makes Your Different Than Any Other Marketing Agency?
    1. We don’t take on clients that we don’t think we can crush it for. If we have doubts on accomplishing your goals, we pass. We pass more than we take on new clients actually.
    2. Every industry that we work in, we put a great amount of thought and effort into learning the best ways to grow revenue.
    3. REVENUE NOT RANKINGS. You can rank for hundreds of keywords. If they have bad intent or don’t convert, what does it matter? We focus on growing your revenue, not just vanity keywords for the sake of showing you a cool report at the end of the month.
  • How Do You Do Marketing and SEO?

    There is no one size fits all, however, we have TONS of data from local business owners showing why SEO works the best and should be the base for any campaign. Without a well optimized website, it usually doesn’t make sense to just run adwords.

  • Do you do anything other than web development and SEO?

    Yes. We do facebook ads, adwords and custom CRM management. We can do anything. But, we believe the foundation of business comes from SEO and other channels should be added on to that, not the other way around. Build your foundation first.

  • How long does it take to see results from SEO?

    SEO is not an overnight process. It takes months to build up a website’s credibility and organic searches. Content that is tailored to a particular website and embedded with SEO takes a while to curate. Once the content and SEO factors are up and running, it can take a few months for Google to index and rank the content.

    Once the credibility is established and the rank increases, the influx of traffic and engagement to the website is unparalleled. This can be the difference between your business receiving no new customers to receiving inquiries and capitalizing on new customers frequently. It can take anywhere between 3 to 9 months to see an improvement in rankings.

  • How long do clients usually stick with you?

    Because we tend to only take on clients that we know we can perform with, and we don’t overload ourselves, we haven’t been open long enough to answer that question. We have only parted ways with 2 clients from 2016-2020 and both times it was because our goals were not aligned for the long term.

    Simply put, we consider our clients family and they usually stay with us forever.

    That being said, we are a boutique agency, and as such, we only accept a certain number of clients each month. Many times clients have to wait 1 to 2 months to get started with us. We do this so that we can maintain the highest quality and integrity for all of our clients.

  • What are SEO backlinks?

    Backlinks are essentially links between content. The quality and quantity of backlinks pointing to a particular page are a large factor in ranking. Backlinks enhance the user experience and increase the credibility and relevance of the content.

    Backlinks are in the form of anchor text, which is the clickable hyperlinks. It matches the keyword of the page that it links to.

    Over the years we have purchased websites that have high authority and maintain them meticulously so that we can get industry-specific backlinks for our clients. We also have relationships with over 7,000 website owners where we frequently contribute content on behalf of our clients to get a backlink.

  • Should I also do PPC?

    Pay Per Click is internet marketing through various search engines. Advertisers pay a fee each time their ad is clicked. You are buying site traffic rather than earning users organically. Brand affinity, customer retention, and established domain authority is created through SEO, not PPC. This is great for instant results and clients, but it does not generate organic, long-term growth.

    Since SEO takes a few months to climb rankings, a combination of SEO and PPC is recommended. Both organic and inorganic internet marketing is a winning combination for exposure and heightened user traffic — and ultimately an increase in sales.

    No. We rank your website and make you money. We probably could do those things but we find sticking to our guns works best.

  • If I sign up with Brand North, can I cancel anytime?

    We require at least a 6-month commitment. Without that, it’s not worth it. Marketing is an investment and doing it right takes a team, skill set, and experience.

    We also require a 1-month notice of cancellation prior to our 6-month renewal term. Otherwise, you have to pay 50% of the amount of the remaining term to cancel.
