SEO, Explained
What is SEO, in simple terms?
SEO helps your website meet the people already searching for what you offer.
At its core, it’s clarity: making sure your content, structure, and messaging align with real questions
people are asking so the right users can find you naturally.
What are keywords in SEO?
Keywords in SEO are the words and phrases people use when searching online.
By aligning your website with these keywords effectively, you create content that resonates with your
audience and supports your sales goals.
Is SEO ongoing?
Absolutely. SEO is an ongoing process (and a big part of why we love this field of marketing).
To ensure we’re actively addressing best practices, audits are a staple here at QH. They help us
refine your content for clarity and long-term growth.
What to Expect
What does the onboarding process look like?
We start by getting to know your business, goals, and existing online presence.
This includes a comprehensive review of your site — similar to an SEO audit — so we can identify what’s working,
what’s unclear, and where visibility can grow. From there, we outline priorities and direction so we move forward
with full clarity and alignment.
Will I need to make changes to my website?
Most clients do — but we guide you through every step.
After reviewing your current SEO and website structure, we share clear recommendations and walk you through
what matters most, why, and what to do next. You’ll also complete the intake process to help us
tailor strategy to your goals and workflow.
How do you measure success?
Success is measured through patterns over time — not one-off spikes.
We track clarity, visibility, traffic quality, and user behavior to understand how your search presence
is evolving and where it’s gaining traction. Transparency is central to how we work.
Results, Transparency & Ethics
Can you guarantee SEO results?
No — and any business or agency that claims otherwise should be approached with caution.
Search engines are complex systems and ultimately outside of anyone’s direct control.
What QH can guarantee is a thoughtful, ethical approach grounded in best practices and focused on
long-term growth.
Do you use AI in your SEO process?
We rely on human expertise first and foremost. AI may be used selectively as a supporting tool
for research or efficiency, but all strategy, interpretation, and final decisions are led by human review
to ensure alignment with your brand and your clients.
