What does SEO involve?
Making a site answer the questions people type into a search engine better than competing sites do. The work splits into three layers: technical, meaning the site is accessible to the crawler; content, meaning answers to customers' real questions; and links, meaning building topical authority. The balance between them is not fixed, and the strategy for a given site sets it: a store with a slow catalogue needs the technical side first, a service site with two pages needs content first, and a technically sound, well-described site most often needs links. The order matters, because content work on a site the crawler cannot get through turns into nothing.
How much does SEO cost?
Ongoing work starts from €480 net a month. The PROFIT plans differ in the number of hours: the choice depends on competition in your industry, the size of the site and the amount of technical work, not on the size of your company. Large sites are quoted separately: the base amount covers the Polish market, and each additional market is added to the invoice. An SEO audit is a one-off service you can order separately if you want it, quoted for your site. Every plan starts with an onboarding month with a strategy, a content plan, a link building strategy and an analytics check. After it you know where the hours will go in the months that follow.
How long does SEO take to show results?
The first noticeable changes usually appear after 90 days, and the result that matters after 180 to 270 days. That comes from how indexing and authority building work, not from how fast an agency works. The strategy and content plan are written in the first month. The first movements in Search Console usually show six to eight weeks after the first changes go live, on keywords where the site was already close to the top ten. Growth you can see in sales, not just in a tool, most often comes between the fourth and the sixth month.
Do you guarantee first place in Google?
No, JustIdea included: the algorithm changes several hundred times a year, and competitors work too. A first-place guarantee in practice means one of two things: either a keyword so narrow that nobody types it, or a clause in the contract that gives you nothing when there is no result anyway. We guarantee the scope of work, a monthly report on organic traffic and revenue, and the option to leave with 3 months' notice. If visibility is not growing after two quarters, you get a written breakdown of what is blocking growth and whether the channel is worth pursuing at all, instead of another invoice with no comment.
What about visibility in AI answers?
We treat it as a separate layer of work. We prepare content so that an answer can be built from it: specific passages, figures with a source and a clear heading structure. In practice it is the same work: a model cites pages it can understand, meaning pages that are technically tidy, described with facts and citing their sources. Ongoing monitoring of whether your brand comes up in answers to your customers' questions is not part of the PROFIT plans: you order it separately or in the SEO + AI package.

Can SEO be done in-house?
Part of it can, and it is worth taking back: category descriptions, product names, tidying up filters, how-to posts written by someone who knows the industry from the inside. What remains is the technical layer of the store and building domain authority, where experience from many projects counts, because a mistake in these areas sets results back by quarters. In practice a split of work works best, not a choice between all or nothing. The biggest obstacle is not knowledge, which is publicly available, but consistency: SEO loses to day-to-day business in the first month something happens. If you want to try without an agency, start with an audit and a keyword map, and judge the rest after a quarter.
What exactly do I get in the monthly report?
Rankings for keywords on the agreed list, the number of visits from organic search, sales attributed to that traffic, and a list of tasks done and planned, with hours. The report also shows keywords that dropped, because without them it is not a report but marketing material. All numbers come from your accounts, not our tools, so you can check each one yourself. Plus a list of tasks done this month and a list of what is waiting to be implemented on your side, if anything is.
How does SEO for a store differ from SEO for a company website?
In scale and in where the weight lies. In a store you work on hundreds or thousands of catalogue pages, so the technical layer matters most: handling filters, duplicate content, categories cannibalising product pages, discontinued products and category loading speed. A company website has a dozen or so pages, and there the weight shifts to content and domain authority. The practical difference is that in a store most of the work is on categories and filters, not on the home page: categories collect commercial traffic, and they are most often badly described. On a service site the weight is on a few offer pages and on the content that builds context around them.
How long is the notice period, and when should you judge the work?
The contract is for an indefinite term, and the notice period is three months, because work started in a given month usually finishes after a quarter. It is worth waiting about as long before judging the results: the first month of every plan is strategy and an analytics check, so judging the engagement after thirty days is judging the foundation, not the result. We say so before signing, not after.
What does the price of SEO depend on?
On four things, in this order. First, competition for your keywords: ranking for 'pozycjonowanie' (Polish for SEO) in Kraków is different work from ranking for the name of a niche product. Second, the state of the site, because a site with a slow catalogue and a muddled structure needs months of technical work before anything starts to grow. Third, the number of pages to describe and rebuild, and fourth, how much of the budget goes on external publications and how much on specialist hours. With PROFIT plans these four things tell you how many hours a month you need, meaning which plan to choose. A large site is quoted separately, after an initial analysis.
How much does SEO for an online store cost?
More than SEO for a company website, and that is a matter of scope, not of the price list. A store has hundreds or thousands of pages, each of which can reach the results, filters creating URLs nobody planned, and a catalogue that changes every week. So the work covers category structure, descriptions, speed and tidy URLs, not a few offer pages. With us, store SEO starts from €480 a month, large catalogues are quoted separately, with the base amount covering one store for the Polish market, and in both cases the amount comes from the scope of work, not from the size of the company.
