Frequently Asked SEO Questions
Everything you need to know about SEO and working with Sarvam SEO. Updated for 2026.
General SEO
How long does SEO take to show results?+
SEO is a long-term investment. Most businesses see noticeable ranking improvements within 3–4 months, with meaningful traffic and lead growth between months 4–8. Competitive industries may take 6–12 months for Page 1 rankings on high-volume keywords.
What is the difference between SEO and paid ads (Google Ads)?+
Google Ads (PPC) gives you instant visibility but costs money for every click - the moment you stop paying, traffic disappears. SEO builds organic rankings that drive free traffic indefinitely. Most successful businesses use both: ads for immediate results and SEO for sustainable long-term growth.
Does my business really need SEO in 2026?+
Absolutely. Google processes over 8.5 billion searches per day. If your business isn't ranking for relevant searches, you're handing leads to your competitors every single day. SEO is the highest-ROI marketing channel for most Indian businesses.
What is Google E-E-A-T and how does it affect my rankings?+
E-E-A-T stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness - Google's framework for evaluating content quality. In 2026, it's critical for ranking in competitive niches. We help you build E-E-A-T through author pages, real case studies, expert content, and backlinks from authoritative sites.

Do I need to sign a long-term contract?+
No. We operate on flexible monthly plans with a 30-day cancellation notice. We believe in earning your business every month through results - not trapping you in contracts.
How do you report on progress?+
We send detailed monthly reports covering keyword rankings, organic traffic, backlinks acquired, content published, and next month's plan. You also get access to a live dashboard for real-time tracking, and your account manager is always available via WhatsApp or email.
Will you actually implement the changes or just advise?+
We're a full-implementation agency. Our team handles everything - on-page optimizations, content creation, link building, technical fixes. You get results, not just a to-do list.
Technical SEO
What are Core Web Vitals and why do they matter?+
Core Web Vitals are Google's page experience signals: LCP (loading speed), CLS (visual stability), and INP (interactivity). Google uses these as ranking factors. We optimize all three to improve both rankings and user experience.
Does site speed really affect my rankings?+
Yes, significantly. Google's Core Web Vitals include LCP (Largest Contentful Paint), which measures loading speed. A slow site also increases bounce rates, hurting conversions. We typically improve client site speeds by 60–80% through file optimization, CDN setup, and code improvements.
Local SEO
What is Google Business Profile and why is it important?+
Google Business Profile (GBP) is your free business listing on Google Maps and local search results. It's the #1 factor for local ranking - businesses in the Google Maps "top 3" get the majority of local clicks. We fully optimize and manage your GBP as part of local SEO.
Can you get me ranked in multiple cities?+
Yes. We can target multiple cities through a combination of location-specific landing pages, local citations, and GBP service areas. We've helped clients rank in 10+ cities simultaneously.
