Do I need to sign a long-term contract? +
No. Every plan is month-to-month. You can cancel anytime with 30 days notice. The goal is to earn your business every month — not lock you in.
What's the difference between maintenance and SEO? +
Maintenance keeps your site secure, fast, and running. SEO gets more people to find it. They work great together — most clients stack both. You can start with one and add the other later.
Do I need WordPress hosting too? +
Not necessarily — if you already have hosting you like, keep it. The $25/mo hosting add-on is for clients who want everything managed in one place with optimized WordPress-specific infrastructure.
How quickly will I see SEO results? +
Typically 3—6 months to see meaningful movement in rankings, 6—12 months to really feel the compounding effects. Anyone promising results in 30 days is lying to you. SEO is a long game — but it pays off.
My site isn't WordPress — can you still help? +
Yes. I build on WordPress, Webflow, custom HTML/CSS, and more. For maintenance plans, I primarily support WordPress — but I can absolutely help with site improvements and SEO on any platform.
What does the free audit actually cover? +
Speed, security, SEO basics, and mobile experience. A real 30-minute review of your actual site — not a generic report generated by a tool. You'll leave with 3—5 specific things to fix, in priority order. No pitch, no pressure.
Do you outsource any work? +
No. When you hire Blue Gorilla Media, you're hiring Dan Pearson. I personally do all the work — no offshore teams, no sub-contractors, no hand-offs to junior staff. That's the whole point.
How does AI search affect my SEO plan? +
The Pro and Alpha SEO plans include AI search optimization — structured data, schema markup, and content strategies built to show up in Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity results. This is quickly becoming the most important SEO frontier.
