Questions people ask

What services do you provide?

SEO strategy and implementation, technical SEO, on-page content and structure, off-site authority, local SEO, ecommerce SEO, web design, web development, redesigns and search-safe migrations. Projects can cover one area or connect several.

Do you design and build websites yourself?

Yes. Ash has more than 25 years of web development and coding experience. Website design, development, search structure and the agreed content work can be handled together rather than passed between separate suppliers.

Do you provide off-site SEO and link building?

Yes. Work can include authority-gap research, link reclamation, relevant outreach, citations, partnerships, content assets and digital PR opportunities. Fresh Bananas does not sell bulk links, private networks or mystery placements.

Can you redesign a website without losing rankings?

Yes. Valuable URLs, content, metadata, internal links, redirects, analytics and tracking are mapped before launch. The new site is checked after launch so migration problems are found quickly.

How do your fees work?

Every project is scoped after reviewing the website and the outcome required. Quotes are fixed and itemised. One-off audits are available, and ongoing SEO work runs month to month without a long lock-in contract.

How long does SEO take?

Some technical or on-page changes can be processed within days or weeks, while competitive growth and authority building take longer. The expectation depends on the market, the website and the size of the gap, so it is set per project rather than promised as a slogan.

Do you guarantee rankings?

No. Nobody controls a search engine. The guarantees are about the work: clear scope, personal delivery, honest reporting and prompt communication when evidence changes the plan.

Which platforms do you work with?

WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, Bluepark, Squarespace, Wix and custom builds are all familiar. Platform limits and development requirements are explained before they become unexpected costs.

Can you work with our existing developer or agency?

Yes. I can diagnose and specify while your team implements, handle agreed parts directly, or verify completed work. Responsibilities are set out before the project begins.

Can I have an audit and do the work myself?

Yes. A one-off audit with a prioritised and explained action plan is a standalone service. You can implement it internally and return later only if further help is useful.

What does reporting look like?

A plain summary of what was done, what changed and what comes next, supported by search and analytics data you can access. Rankings are included where useful, but enquiries, sales and revenue are the more important outcomes.

What do you need from me to start?

The website address, the outcome you want and enough context to understand which customers, products or services matter most. Access is requested only after the scope is agreed.

Something missing? Ask Ash directly. A useful answer is more important than forcing the question into a sales call.
