FREQUENTLY ASKED
Seems like everybody’s got advice, but most of it sounds like noise.
​
These are the questions real business owners hit us with before partnering up with Rowdy Influence. These are the things you actually need to know before trusting someone to handle your online presence. No corporate lingo. Here is the straight talk about how we get your brand seen, found, and trusted everywhere it matters.
SEO MANAGEMENT​​
1. What exactly does SEO management include?
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) management involves constantly improving your website’s visibility on search engines like Google. We handle keyword research, on-page optimization, content strategy, technical SEO, and backlink development to increase your site’s organic traffic and ranking.
​
2. How long does it take to see SEO results?
Typically, noticeable results appear within 3–6 months, depending on your industry competitiveness, website condition, and content volume. SEO is a long-term investment, and the longer it runs, the more momentum it builds.
​
3. Do you guarantee first-page rankings?
No ethical agency can guarantee specific rankings because search algorithms constantly change. However, we are competitive and do aim for top search at all times. What we do guarantee is consistent optimization, measurable progress, and strategies that follow Google’s best practices for sustainable growth.
​
4. Will I need to make changes to my website?
Yes. SEO often requires updates to your website structure, copy, or metadata. Rowdy Influence implements these changes directly to your website. Please make sure as the owner of your business, that all logins and passwords are easily accessible.
​
5. How do you measure SEO success?
We track keyword rankings, website traffic, conversion metrics, and overall visibility.
All clients receive monthly performance reports showing growth and actionable insights.
​
6. What’s the difference between SEO and paid ads (SEM)?
SEO builds long-term, organic visibility. Paid ads (Search Engine Marketing) generate instant visibility but only last as long as you’re paying for them. A strong digital strategy usually blends both. If you have completed every step and are ready to move on to SEM, let a member know, and we will customize an advertising plan that suits your growth strategy.
​
ONLINE CITATION MANAGEMENT​​
1. What is online citation management?
It’s the process of ensuring your business’s information (name, address, phone number, hours, and more) is consistent and accurate across all online directories, maps, and local search platforms.
​
2. Why does citation consistency matter?
Search engines use consistent business data to verify your legitimacy as a business. Inconsistent or outdated listings can hurt local SEO rankings (meaning you might not show up) and confuse potential customers.
​
3. How often are citations updated?
We monitor and refresh your listings regularly (weekly) to ensure accuracy and detect any third-party edits or data conflicts. Most SEO agencies will optimize quarterly; we have them beat.
​
4. Which platforms or directories do you manage?
We cover the most influential directories for your industry, including Google Business Profiles, Apple Maps, Bing, Yelp, Facebook, and high-value local and niche directories. We manage pages through over 500 directories.
​
5. Do you handle duplicate listings or incorrect data?
Yes. We find and suppress duplicate listings, correct outdated data, and resolve conflicts that could be harming your local visibility.
​
6. Can I update my business info anytime?
Absolutely. You can send us business updates anytime. Working with Rowdy Influence is hassle-free. Need to change something ASAP, such as new hours, service areas, or promotions? Rowdy Influence will push those changes across your directory network within seconds. All quick changes should be sent via email to a Rowdy Influence team member. ​
​​
GETTING STARTED​​
1. What do you need from us to kick things off?
Just the basics — your business name, address, phone, hours, website, logo, and any current listings you’ve got floating around online. Someone from our team will hop on a quick kickoff call, sync on goals, and then we take the wheel. Your focus should be on running your business. Rowdy Influence will make sure the internet knows who you are and where to find you.
​
2. How do we know what’s working?
We are always on call, so you get real updates with clear reports showing your rankings, visibility, and what’s improving month to month. We’ll check in regularly, tweak strategies, and make sure you’re seeing the lift in all the right places.
​
3. Are we locked into a long-term contract?
Nope. We believe in results, not handcuffs. Our services are flexible, including monthly and annual payment options. That said, evidence shows SEO and citation management love consistency, so the longer you run with us, the stronger your online footprint gets.
