Frequently Asked Questions

Belman & Co. works with photographers, wedding venues, wedding vendors, electricians, roofers, HVAC and plumbing companies, law firms, med spas, property managers, and other local service businesses. Every strategy is built around your market and your customers, not a generic template.

This agency works across every major website platform, including Showit, WordPress, Squarespace, and Wix. Deep specialization is in Showit SEO and WordPress SEO, since those are what most clients run on. If you're on a different platform, reach out and I'll assess your setup during the application process.

No. Based in Myrtle Beach and working with clients across the Grand Strand, Charleston, Columbia, and beyond. Some niches, like photography and wedding venues, are served nationally. Location shapes the local SEO strategy, but the process itself works anywhere.

One person handles your account from the audit through monthly management, start to finish. No handoff to a junior team a few weeks after signing. The strategy is also built on real experience: Pasha Belman Photography still runs and ranks today, built through the same SEO process used for clients.

The Audit is a full diagnosis of what's holding your site back in Google and AI search. Foundation puts the technical and on page groundwork in place: schema, metadata, site structure, keyword targeting. Build creates new pages and site architecture designed to rank, things like location pages and service pages. Monthly management keeps everything moving and adjusts strategy once those are live.

Pricing depends on your site's size, your market, and the stage you're starting from. Reach out through the contact form for a quote built around your specific goals.

Not at all. The Audit is a good starting point if you want a clear picture before committing further. Foundation and Build are available to apply for directly. Whatever stage you're at is the right stage to start.

Timelines vary by starting point and market. One client saw meaningful ranking movement within 3 weeks of launch. The 30 day oversight period after a Build exists specifically to monitor and adjust until results start compounding.

Bring them in. Sharing the strategy with whoever runs your site day to day means it keeps compounding long after the engagement ends.

GEO stands for generative engine optimization, the practice of getting your business mentioned and recommended inside AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Customers are starting to ask AI assistants for recommendations the same way they used to type a Google search. If your site isn't structured for AI to read and cite, you're invisible in that conversation.

No. Traditional Google rankings and AI search visibility run on the same foundation: clear content, real expertise, and a site structured so search engines and AI models can understand what you do and who you serve. Belman & Co. builds for both at once rather than treating them as separate strategies.

It's highly visual, location driven, and session or event specific. Google and AI tools need to understand not just what you do, but where you do it, who you serve, and what kind of experience you deliver. Generic SEO advice doesn't account for how image heavy sites get crawled, how gallery pages should be structured, or how venues and vendors actually get found through the wedding industry search funnel.

Multiple cities, if the strategy is set up for it. That means dedicated location pages, content structured around each market, and internal linking that signals relevance to Google for each one. Many businesses leave entire cities of potential clients invisible simply because this was never set up.

Blogging compounds once the foundation is solid, but most sites need stronger service pages, location signals, and metadata first. Build the base, then blog.
