Why only one plan?+
Because tiered pricing is mostly a sales tactic. Agencies use cheap entry tiers to get you in the door, then upsell you into the "real" plan once you realize the cheap one doesn't work. We just sell the plan that works. If you need less, you don't need an SEO agency yet — you need a website and a Google Business Profile, and we'll tell you that for free.
What does the $999 start-up fee cover?+
Full SEO audit, technical remediation, Google Business Profile setup and optimization, schema markup deployment, aesthetic-specific keyword research, and the strategy buildout for your treatment menu. It's the foundational work that makes everything that follows actually perform — not a retainer padder.
Is there really no long-term contract?+
There's a 90-day onboarding commitment — that's the minimum window to complete the foundation and launch content. After that, it's month-to-month with 30 days' written notice to cancel. No 12-month contracts, no auto-renewals you have to fight to escape. If we're earning the retainer, you stay. If we're not, you leave.
What does "territory exclusivity" actually mean?+
Once you're onboarded, we will not accept a competing medspa or aesthetic clinic within your protected territory. The radius scales up to 20 miles based on market density — tighter in dense urban markets, wider in lower-density areas. It's locked for the duration of your active plan. You're not competing against our other clients for our attention or for Google's.
Do I need a new website to work with you?+
Not always. If your current site is on a modern platform, loads reasonably fast, and isn't actively working against you, we'll work with what you have and recommend targeted fixes during onboarding. If your site is the bottleneck — slow, broken on mobile, or built on something that can't be optimized — we'll tell you straight, and we offer website design as a separate service so we can get it right before SEO goes live.
I've been burned by agencies before. What makes this different?+
Honestly? The same things that should have been standard the whole time. We don't lock you into year-long contracts. We don't take competitors. We work in one industry. We write content that actually sounds like your practice. We report on consults, not vanity rankings. And the person you talk to on your monthly call is the person doing the work — not a CSM reading from a doc someone else wrote. None of that is a gimmick. It's just what an agency should do.
Can I add paid ads or social later?+
Yes. Google Ads and Meta Ads management is available as an add-on, as is social media management and multi-location SEO. Priced individually so you only pay for what you actually need. Most clients start with core SEO and layer paid ads on once organic momentum is building.
How fast will I see results?+
Most practices see tangible movement in 60–90 days — improved local rankings, higher GBP impressions, and the first lift in consult-driving traffic. Full Map Pack and competitive keyword wins typically land in months 4–8. Anyone promising you page one in 30 days is lying. SEO compounds — and it's why the clients who stay 12+ months see returns the short-timers never do.
Can I add more protected territories?+
Yes, you can add more protected territories to your plan at a discounted rate per territory. This gives larger facilities with a more significant footprint or multiple locations the flexibility they need without paying full price to expand.
Your competitors are cheaper. Why choose Skinspire?+
Most of our competitiors are either large nationwide agencies with regimented systems and protocols that are scalable but not customizable to a single practice. The rest are white-label SEO resellers that purchase cheap overseas SEO work, mark it up 3x and resell it to you for a profit. Skinspire is a truly customizable, founder-led, U.S.-delivered SEO agency for aesthtic practices who are serious about SEO results and not those looking to just spend their marketing budget to check a box - a phenominon known as the "SEO tax."
