How long does managed SEO take to show results?
Most small and mid-sized businesses see early movement within 60–90 days, with compound results across months 4–6 once on-page work, content publishing cadence, and link signals settle. Service businesses with low-competition local intent often see traffic shifts sooner; competitive ecommerce categories typically take longer. We share a realistic timeline based on the audit during onboarding instead of guaranteeing a date.
What's actually included in a managed SEO engagement?
A full technical audit in month one, ongoing on-page optimization, monthly SEO content publishing, internal-link work that connects new content to your service pages, structured-data implementation, basic local SEO if relevant, and a steady link-building program through our SEO Backlinks service. You also get monthly reporting that ties keyword movement to revenue-relevant pages.
Do you guarantee Google rankings or specific traffic numbers?
No. We can guarantee the work — audits, on-page changes, content cadence, structured data, link acquisition — but rankings and AI citations are controlled by external systems. Anyone promising guaranteed first-page placement, guaranteed keyword counts, or guaranteed AI Overview mentions is misleading you.
Is managed SEO better than hiring an in-house SEO?
It depends on volume. A senior in-house SEO is typically more cost-effective once you need 30+ hours per week of dedicated SEO work or have a complex enterprise stack. For most small and mid-sized businesses, a productized monthly engagement is faster to start, less expensive, and removes the hiring risk while still delivering the same compounding outputs.
How is VYRA different from a generic agency?
VYRA is a productized, brand-sensitive partner: founder-close service, transparent monthly pricing, no contracts, and a focus on small and mid-sized businesses across Canada and the United States. We work in tight feedback loops with founders and marketing leads instead of layering account managers on top of execution.
Can I cancel managed SEO anytime?
Yes. There are no contracts. You can pause or cancel month-to-month. You keep all deliverables, content, and audits we've produced for your business. We design the engagement to be worth renewing on its own merits each month rather than locking you in.
