Are there any setup fees or hidden costs? +
No. The price you see is the price you pay. Hosting, SSL, and standard SEO setup are included in website packages. SEO plans include everything listed — no upsells required to get results.
Can I change plans later? +
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime from your account. Changes take effect at the next billing cycle — no penalties, no phone calls required.
Contracts & cancellation

Am I locked in?

Am I locked into a contract? +
No. Every plan is month-to-month. There are no annual commitments, no cancellation fees, and no retention specialists trying to talk you out of leaving.
How do I cancel? +
From your account, in a couple of clicks. No emails, no phone calls, no exit interviews. If you cancel mid-cycle, you keep service through the end of your billing period.
What happens to my website and data if I cancel? +
Your website, content, and data stay yours — always. If you paid once for a website, it's yours outright. Directory listings revert to the free tier. No penalties, no hostage situations.
Do rankings disappear if I cancel? +
Here's the honest answer: SEO is ongoing work. The optimizations we've done (your site, your content, your reviews) don't vanish — but without continued effort, competitors can overtake you over time. That's true of any SEO, not just ours.
Timelines & results

How fast will I see results?

How fast will I see results? +
Most clients see ranking movement in 30–60 days. Competitive keywords in competitive ZIPs typically take 3–6 months of consistent work. We show you progress monthly in plain English — you'll never wonder if anything is happening.
Do you guarantee #1 rankings? +
No honest SEO company can guarantee specific rankings — Google decides, and anyone promising otherwise is selling you something. What we guarantee is the work: every deliverable on your plan, every month, reported transparently.
How do I know it's working? +
Monthly reports in plain English: what we did, what moved, and what's next. We track keyword positions, map-pack visibility, calls, and review growth. See our methodology →
What if it doesn't work for my business? +
Then you cancel — that's the point of month-to-month. But first, talk to us. If something isn't moving, we want to know why and what we're changing. We'd rather fix it than lose you.
How we're different

Why ZipRankly?

What makes ZipRankly different from other SEO companies? +
We own a proprietary ZIP-level directory network. Other agencies build links on other people's websites; our clients rank on a network we own — so visibility compounds on infrastructure nobody can take away. Learn more →
Why should I pay instead of just using my free Google Business Profile? +
Your GBP is essential — and we optimize it for you. But it's one listing in one place. We multiply your visibility: on-page SEO, ZIP-level landing pages, review generation, content, and directory network placement — all working together, all managed for you.
Do you work with businesses outside the US? +
Our directory network covers US ZIP codes. SEO services are available to US-based local businesses. If you're elsewhere, contact us and we'll tell you honestly if we're a fit.
Who actually does the work? +
Our in-house team — not outsourced to the cheapest bidder. Dominant plans include a dedicated strategist. Every plan includes real humans you can reach.
Getting started

How do I start?

What happens after I sign up? +
We kick off with a free audit (if you haven't had one), then onboarding: we gather access to your site and GBP, set up tracking, and start the first month's deliverables. You'll get a welcome email with your timeline and point of contact.
Do I need a website already? +
No. If you need one, we build them — see our website packages. If you have one, we'll audit it and optimize what you've got.
What's the free SEO audit? +
We analyze your website, your ZIP codes, and your top competitors — then send you a plain-English report showing where you rank today and what we'd fix. Free, no strings, no sales ambush.
