— How we work

Four steps from brief to launch.

Predictable on the outside, lots of judgment on the inside.
  1. 01
    Weeks 1–2

    Audit & baseline

    We crawl the site, pull six months of GSC and analytics data, and benchmark against three competitors. By the end of week two you have a one-page diagnosis: what's broken, what's working, and where the asymmetric upside is.

    • Technical audit (40+ checks)
    • Keyword & SERP landscape
    • Competitor gap analysis
    • 12-week roadmap with confidence levels
  2. 02
    Weeks 3–4

    Quick wins shipped

    Before we do anything ambitious, we ship the no-brainers: broken redirects, missing titles, render-blocking JS, slow templates. Most engagements pick up 10–25% organic traffic from this phase alone.

    • Technical fixes shipped to prod
    • Title & meta cleanup
    • Internal-link tightening
    • Core Web Vitals baseline + plan
  3. 03
    Weeks 5–8

    Content & link build

    Three to five briefs per month, written and edited by humans who know your space. In parallel, our PR team starts placement work — slow, deliberate, and editorial. We measure intent and conversion, not pageviews.

    • Editorial briefs & drafts
    • Existing-page rewrites
    • Digital PR placements
    • Schema rollout (Article, FAQ, HowTo)
  4. 04
    Weeks 9–12

    Iterate & double down

    By week 9 we know what's working. We kill what isn't, double the budget on what is, and sketch the next 12-week plan. Every program ends with a decision: continue, retainer, or hand off.

    • Performance review + retro
    • Refreshed roadmap
    • Budget reallocation
    • Hand-off doc if you want one

Do you offer seo services in Columbus, OH?
Yes. Final Orbit is based in nearby Powell and works with Columbus businesses throughout Franklin County. Most seo engagements run remote-first, with on-site working sessions whenever they help.
What does seo cost for a Columbus business?
SEO engagements start at $500 / mo. We scope every Columbus project to the goal rather than a fixed package, so you'll get a clear, milestone-based quote before any work begins.
What kinds of Columbus businesses do you work with?
We work with Technology, Insurance, Healthcare, Retail, and Education organizations and growing local brands across Columbus and Franklin County — from first websites and brand systems to multi-quarter growth programs.
How long until we see results?
Quick wins land in weeks 2–4 — usually a 10–25% bump from technical fixes alone. Real compounding from content + links is more like 4–6 months. We're transparent about that up front.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No, and you should be skeptical of anyone who does. We commit to a process and a velocity. Rankings and revenue are the result, not the promise.
Will you work in our CMS?
Yes. We've shipped engineering work in WordPress, Webflow, Sanity, Contentful, Shopify, and a half-dozen custom stacks. Our developers don't file tickets — they push commits.
Can you produce content in our voice?
We pair editors with subject-matter experts on your team for the first three pieces, then we have your voice down. We don't outsource writing.
How do you do link building?
Editorial digital PR — pitching real stories to real publications. Slow and durable. We don't buy, swap, or PBN-link. Ever.
What happens if we don't see lift?
We'd be the first to call it. Either we adjust the bets, or we recommend you put the budget elsewhere. We've ended programs early before; nobody wants a retainer that isn't earning its keep.
Do you replace our agency or work alongside?
Both happen. Some clients use us as their full SEO team; others have us focused on technical or digital PR while their content team writes. We're easy to plug in.
