Altus Vs Other Agencies

See how a strategy-first engagement compares to the typical SEO retainer model, so you know what you are buying before month one starts.

Focus Altus Typical agencies
Kickoff A dedicated planning month with competitive analysis, technical audit, keyword map, and a 12-month roadmap Often jump straight into monthly deliverables without a documented strategy
Roadmap Month-by-month priorities, owners, and checkpoints you can measure Vague retainers with shifting scope and little visibility into what comes next
Access Direct work with a strategist who connects SEO to leads and pipeline Account layers and junior teams running templates across many clients
Flexibility Month-to-month after planning, so you invest where organic demand converts Long lock-ins that keep spend going even when the plan is unclear
Search scope SEO strategy built for high-intent growth, with GEO visibility in the same roadmap SEO-only playbooks that ignore how buyers discover brands in AI search
Reporting Transparent updates on rankings, traffic, leads, and roadmap progress Vanity metrics and dashboards that are hard to connect to revenue

FAQ

What Do I Get In The First Planning Month?
Month one is a strategic audit: competitor gap analysis, technical and UX review, buyer-intent keyword mapping, and a clear month-by-month roadmap. You leave planning with priorities, timelines, and the execution plan for month two.
How Is This Different From Ongoing SEO?
SEO Strategy is the planning foundation. We research, prioritize, and build the 12-month roadmap before heavy execution. Ongoing SEO then follows that plan month to month with content, technical work, and reporting.
How Many Competitors Do You Analyze?
We typically analyze your top two to three competitors in depth, covering keyword gaps, content, backlinks, and technical advantages so the roadmap targets winnable opportunities.
When Does Execution Start?
Execution begins in month two, after the planning month is complete and the roadmap is approved. That keeps early work aligned with the priorities we agreed on together.
How Involved Does My Team Need To Be?
We handle research, audits, keyword mapping, and the roadmap. Your team mainly shares business context, confirms goals, and reviews the plan. A kickoff and a few check-ins during planning keep everything aligned.
How Long Before We See Results?
Most clients see meaningful ranking and traffic movement within three to six months of execution, with results compounding as technical fixes, content, and on-page work land from the roadmap.
