Getting started

What to expect from the first call to the first month.

How do I get started with NextFume?

Fill in the free growth plan form. A strategist reviews your website, visibility and competitors, then walks you through what we recommend on a short call. There is no obligation to go ahead.

What happens on the first call?

We ask about your business, customers, goals and what has worked before. We share early observations from our review and explain which services would help most and why.

How quickly can you start?

Usually within a week of agreeing the plan. Your audit and 90-day roadmap are delivered within the first three weeks.

What do you need from me to begin?

Access to Google Analytics, Search Console, your Google Business Profile, your website and any ad accounts, plus a 30-minute kickoff call. We send a simple checklist.

Do you work with businesses outside my country?

Yes. We work with businesses in many countries and languages, and our international SEO service helps brands grow into new markets.

Pricing and contracts

How pricing works and what you are committing to.

How much do your services cost?

It depends on your goals, competition and which services you need. After a short call we send a clear monthly proposal, so you know exactly what you are paying for before anything starts.

Do you have long lock-in contracts?

No. We prefer to earn your business every month. Our agreements are simple and explained upfront.

Are there any setup or hidden fees?

No hidden fees. If a project needs a one-off setup, such as a full audit or tracking setup, it is listed clearly in your proposal.

Is there a minimum budget?

We will tell you honestly if your budget is too small to make a real difference. In that case we suggest a smaller, focused starting point rather than spreading effort too thin.

Can I change or pause services later?

Yes. As results come in, we can add, change or pause services. We review this together every quarter.

03 / 06

SEO and organic growth

Rankings, content, links and local search.

How long does SEO take to work?

Quick fixes can show within weeks. Most businesses see steady growth between months three and six, with bigger, compounding gains through the rest of the first year.

Can you guarantee number one rankings?

No honest agency can, because nobody controls Google. We guarantee transparency, effort and clear communication, and we agree realistic milestones before we start.

Do you write the content?

Yes. Our writers and editors create pages and articles in your brand voice. Everything is sent to you for approval before it goes live.

How do you build links?

Through genuine outreach, digital PR and content people want to cite. No link farms or private networks, and every link is reported by URL.

Do you help with Google Maps and local search?

Yes. Local SEO covers your Google Business Profile, reviews, local pages and citations, so nearby customers find and call you.

Will you need to change my website?

Usually some changes help, such as speed, structure or page content. We explain every recommendation and can make the changes for you or guide your developer.

05 / 06

YouTube and Google Ads

Paid campaigns that people actually watch.

Do you manage YouTube and Google Ads?

Yes. We plan, build and manage YouTube and Google Ads campaigns, from targeting and creative direction to ongoing optimization.

Should I use ads or SEO?

Ads are fast and great for testing and launches. SEO takes longer but keeps working without paying for every click. Many businesses benefit from both, and we will recommend the right balance.

Do you create the video ads?

We help with scripts, hooks and structure built for people who might skip, and can work with your existing footage or video team.

Is the ad spend included in your fee?

No. Your ad budget is paid directly to Google, so you keep full control and visibility. Our management fee is separate and shown clearly.

How soon will ads bring results?

Campaigns can start driving traffic within days. The first few weeks are about testing, then we scale what brings the best leads for the cost.

06 / 06

Reporting and results

How you will know it is working.

How will I know if it is working?

Your monthly report shows calls, form leads, sales where possible, rankings and visibility, all compared with previous months and explained in plain words.

How often will I get reports?

Monthly, with a review call. You also get weekly task updates and a quarterly strategy review.

Can I see the work you do?

Yes. Every task, page, link and listing is logged and shared by URL, so you can check the work at any time.

Who owns the data and accounts?

You do. We work inside your own accounts wherever possible, and everything stays yours if you ever leave.

What if results are slower than expected?

We tell you early, explain why and adjust the plan. The quarterly review is there to double down on what works and drop what does not.

Still Have A Question?
