Practical questions
Before we work together.
Who the work is for, what happens next, and what to expect.
Who does Crawled work with?
Software companies nationwide, including apps, SaaS, developer tools, and technical B2B products; and home-service businesses across Florence, Muscle Shoals, Sheffield, and Tuscumbia. If you're searching for SEO near you in the Shoals, see the Florence, AL SEO services page or read the Shoals local SEO guide.
What should I request first?
For a product or website, request a free visibility audit. It is returned within 24 hours, with no call required. Shoals home-service owners can request a free local ranking check.
Can we work together remotely?
Yes. Software engagements are remote and available nationwide. Crawled is based in Florence, Alabama.
What access do you need?
The initial visibility audit uses your public website. For paid work, any analytics, website, or Business Profile access is agreed separately. Keep ownership of your accounts and do not send passwords through a contact form.
What do SEO and AI search work involve?
The work includes useful content, clear page structure, crawlability, internal links, and accurate business or product information. Google says ordinary SEO practices also apply to its AI search features. No special markup guarantees an AI mention.
Do you guarantee results, rankings, or AI mentions?
No. Search providers control their results. Visibility, inquiries, and sales are different measures; more impressions alone do not prove more customers.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at $400 a month for Local Starter. Larger plans run $750, $1,250, and $1,850 a month. Every plan has a one-time $200 setup fee. Prices are per location. Software work is quoted after a free visibility audit. See all plans on the pricing page.
How long does it take and do I need a contract?
The written scope sets deliverables, responsibilities, timing, and reporting. Search results do not have a guaranteed deadline.
Local Starter has a three-month minimum. Other plans are month to month, and cancellations take effect at the end of the billing month. I recommend three to six months to allow for consistency, because retention should come from results, not restrictive contracts.
What will reporting show?
Agree on reporting before work starts. Search impressions, clicks, and positions describe visibility. Submitted inquiries, qualified conversations, and clients need separate records.
Will a request add me to a mailing list?
No. The inquiry forms are for replying to your request. See the privacy details for the form and analytics data flows.
