Common questions about our process

How long before we see results?
You'll start seeing data and insights immediately, but meaningful business results typically take 30-90 days depending on your current state and market. We'll be transparent about timelines and provide weekly updates on progress.
What if something isn't working?
We'll tell you immediately, explain why we think it's happening, and present our plan to fix it. Part of our transparency commitment is sharing failures as openly as successes.
How much involvement is required from our team?
We handle the heavy lifting, but we'll need your input on strategic decisions, content review, and budget allocation. Most clients spend 2-4 hours per week in meetings and reviews.
Can we adjust the process for our specific needs?
Absolutely. This framework adapts to your situation, timeline, and resources. We'll discuss any adjustments during our initial strategy conversations.
What happens if we need to pause or change direction?
Business priorities change. We build flexibility into our engagements and can pause, pivot, or adjust scope as needed. You'll always know where you stand and what your options are.
