// Commitment Terms
3 MONTHS THEN MONTH-TO-MONTH
All Simply IT SEO plans require an initial 3-month commitment — SEO takes time and Google needs consistency to reward new efforts. After month 3 plans convert to month-to-month with 30 days cancellation notice.
// Simply IT Managed Services Clients
$50/MONTH OFF ANY SEO PLAN
Existing Simply IT managed services clients receive $50 off per month on any SEO plan — applied automatically at signup. One partner managing your IT and your SEO means better results and less coordination overhead.
// Why SEO Requires a 3-Month Minimum
Google does not reward new SEO efforts overnight. In the first month Simply IT builds the technical foundation and fixes existing issues. In month two content begins publishing and Google starts crawling. By month three ranking movement becomes measurable. Businesses that commit to 3+ months see dramatically better results than those who stop after 30 days expecting instant results. This is why we require an initial 3-month commitment — it is the minimum time needed to demonstrate real value.
// SEO vs Paid Advertising — The Long-Term Math
| Factor | Google Ads Only | Simply IT SEO |
|---|---|---|
| Leads when you stop paying | Zero — immediately | Continues indefinitely |
| Cost per lead over time | Stays high or increases | Decreases as authority grows |
| Trust signal to visitors | Low — marked as ad | High — organic result |
| Content assets built | None | Grows every month |
| Results timeline | Immediate but expensive | 3–6 months to meaningful results |
| Long-term ROI | Linear — pay for every lead | Compounding — each article works forever |
| Competitive moat | None — anyone can outbid | High — hard to replicate authority |

// Frequently Asked Questions
COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT SEO
How long does it take to see results from SEO?+
SEO is a long-term investment, not a quick win. Most businesses begin seeing noticeable improvements in rankings and organic traffic within 3 to 6 months of starting an SEO engagement, with more significant results accumulating over 6 to 12 months. The speed of results depends on factors including your competition, the current state of your website, and how aggressively you invest in content and optimization. Simply IT provides monthly reporting so you can see progress throughout the engagement.
What is local SEO and why does it matter for my business?+
Local SEO is the practice of optimizing your online presence to rank well in location-based searches — the searches North Central Florida customers perform when looking for businesses like yours nearby. Local SEO includes Google Business Profile optimization, local citations, location-specific content, and geographic targeting. For most small and mid-sized businesses serving a local area, local SEO delivers much higher ROI than general SEO because it targets customers actively looking to buy.
Does Simply IT guarantee #1 rankings on Google?+
No reputable SEO provider guarantees #1 rankings, and any company that does is either lying or using tactics that will eventually get your website penalized by Google. Simply IT commits to applying proven SEO best practices, providing transparent reporting, and continuously improving your rankings and organic traffic over time. We build sustainable SEO foundations that deliver results for years — not quick tricks that collapse under the first Google algorithm update.
Do I need to have Simply IT build my website to use your SEO services?+
No. We provide SEO services for websites built by any developer or platform — WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, custom builds, and more. We start with a technical audit to identify any platform-specific limitations or issues that could affect SEO performance, then apply our full SEO process on top of your existing site. That said, websites built by Simply IT come with SEO best practices built in from day one, which gives them a head start.
