Choosing an SEO partner should never feel like guesswork.
Below are the ten questions that genuinely reveal whether an agency can deliver real commercial growth, along with RS Digital’s honest viewpoint based on years of working with UK businesses.
- What measurable results have you delivered for other clients?
Any credible agency should show real examples of ranking growth, enquiries, and conversion improvement, not just traffic graphs.
RS Digital’s take:
We believe results must connect directly to lead generation and revenue impact, not vanity metrics. Every campaign we run is tracked against meaningful outcomes so businesses understand exactly what their investment is producing.
- How will SEO success be planned for my specific business?
SEO should never follow a template.
Your market, competitors, margins, and service areas all shape the right strategy.
RS Digital’s take:
We begin every campaign with commercial understanding first, keywords second. This ensures visibility focuses on searches that actually produce enquiries, not just impressions.
- How do you measure and report progress?
Clear, consistent reporting builds trust.
You should know what is improving and why.
RS Digital’s take:
Our reporting is designed to be simple, transparent, and actionable, showing rankings, traffic quality, and—most importantly—enquiry movement in plain language.
- Will content be created around real search intent?
Modern SEO depends heavily on useful, experience-driven content that answers genuine customer questions.
RS Digital’s take:
We prioritise conversion-focused content, ensuring pages guide visitors naturally toward making contact rather than simply providing information.
- How do you build backlinks and authority?
Authority still plays a major role in search visibility, but quality matters far more than volume.
RS Digital’s take:
Our approach focuses on relevant, trustworthy links that strengthen long-term rankings rather than risky shortcuts that can damage visibility later.
- Do you integrate local SEO where needed?
For many UK businesses, enquiries come from specific towns or regions, making local optimisation essential.
RS Digital’s take:
Local SEO is often where the fastest commercial wins appear. We align Google Business visibility, location content, and reviews to strengthen real-world enquiry flow.
- How is technical and mobile performance handled?
Site speed, structure, and mobile usability now directly influence both rankings and conversions.
RS Digital’s take:
Technical SEO should feel invisible but powerful—quietly improving user experience while strengthening search performance behind the scenes.
- How do you approach AI search and semantic relevance?
Search is evolving toward AI-generated answers and contextual understanding, not just keywords.
RS Digital’s take:
We actively optimise for AI visibility, semantic authority, and topic depth, ensuring clients remain discoverable as search behaviour continues changing.
- What timelines, expectations, and guarantees are realistic?
SEO is a long-term channel.
Instant promises are usually warning signs.
RS Digital’s take:
We set honest timeframes from day one, focusing on steady, sustainable progress that protects long-term rankings and reputation.
- How will SEO improve conversions, not just traffic?
Traffic without enquiries has limited value.
True SEO success means turning visitors into customers.
RS Digital’s take:
Conversion thinking sits at the centre of our strategy.
Every improvement—content, structure, or keyword targeting—is designed to increase real enquiries, not just numbers on a report.
