How we compare

Why local pros leave old-school agencies.

Most agencies still do 2018-era SEO. AEO-only agencies miss Google entirely. KeyGrow runs both, on one retainer.

FAQ

Every question worth asking.

Real answers to the things people ask before they pay. Still curious? Email sales@keygrow.co.

Local SEO results typically show meaningful movement in 60 to 120 days. AEO results (mentions in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity) can show up faster, sometimes 30 to 60 days. Anyone promising you results in week one is lying. We recommend committing 3 months minimum to judge progress fairly.

Yes. We bill monthly through Stripe. You can cancel in your Stripe customer portal in two clicks, no email or call needed. You keep all the work we've done up to that point: pages, content, schema, citations, links. We just stop billing.

SEO ranks you in Google search results and Google Maps. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) gets you cited by AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude. Both matter now: nearly 60% of Google searches end without a click, and AI tools increasingly answer “best [service] near me” before Google does. We build both into one retainer.

We work with local service businesses: home services (plumbing, HVAC, roofing, electrical, landscaping, junk removal, cleaning), professional services (lawyers, dentists, med spas, accountants, financial advisors), and other location-based businesses. If you serve customers in a specific city or region, we can rank you.

Yes. The onboarding form asks about previous work so we don't duplicate effort or undo something that's working. We can either replace your current agency entirely or run alongside them on specific deliverables. Most clients switch fully within the first month.

You cancel. That's the deal. We don't lock you in, we don't charge an exit fee, we don't take legal action over a “minimum term.” If we can't move the needle for your business, paying us another month is a waste of your money. We'd rather lose a client than have an unhappy one.

Because we removed the parts that waste time. No proposal documents, no account managers padding hours, no in-person meetings, no "strategy decks" that nobody reads. The work itself (content, links, citations, schema, AEO) is what moves the needle, and that's what you pay for. A short fit call is part of the flow, but only after you apply and we have something useful to talk about.

For your CMS we strongly prefer you add sales@keygrow.co as a user (we send platform-specific instructions if needed). If you would rather paste login credentials, the onboarding form has a secure encrypted field for that. For Google Search Console and GA4, you grant sales@keygrow.co user permissions. We never ask for hosting, banking, or domain registrar passwords.

Yes. That's your monthly subscription. No setup fees. No “kickoff” charges. No mandatory add-ons. No surprise upsells. The only optional add-on is paid Google Ads management, which is a separate service if you want us to also run your ads.

KeyGrow uses an in-house team for strategy, on-page SEO, AEO, technical work, and reporting. We use vetted specialists for content writing and link outreach who have worked with us for years. You'll deal with the same point of contact every month and your work is not offshore mass-produced spam.
