Question 1

How much does HVAC SEO cost?

Accepted Answer

HVAC SEO at Upward Bound Media starts at $697 per month for Performance Maintenance and $1,497 per month for High-Performance Local SEO. Every package requires a rebuilt website, which is included free on an annual plan or can be bought outright at $500 for the homepage and $200 per additional page. The final number depends on your market and competition, and we quote it at the strategy session after we run your data.

Question 2

What does an SEO agency actually do?

Accepted Answer

An SEO agency gets your business found by people already searching for what you sell, without paying per click. The real work is technical SEO, on-page work, off-page work like citations and reviews, and Google Business Profile management. At Upward Bound Media the order matters: baseline first, then the website rebuild, then the profile, citations, and reviews, then monthly tracking.

Question 3

Is it worth hiring an SEO agency?

Accepted Answer

Hiring an SEO agency is worth it when you do not have time to do the work yourself, the agency can show you where you rank before and after, and the money goes toward work that moves a local business. If any one of those is missing, it is not worth it. Every prospect gets a free strategy session, and one possible outcome is that you do not need to hire anyone right now.

Question 4

How do you know if your SEO agency is bad?

Accepted Answer

The first tell is that you cannot answer where you ranked before the agency started. Other signs include reporting activity instead of results, a plan that keeps growing, owning your website or Google Business Profile, jargon instead of plain answers, and guaranteed rankings. A good agency runs a geo grid before the work starts and shows you the same grid later.
