| Audit and written plan | Rarely | Free audit and a written plan before you pay | Yes, but slow and costly |
| Methods | Often low-quality links and copied content | Safe methods only: real reviews, quality links | Usually safe |
| Reporting | Irregular | A report every 15 days, with leads and rankings | Monthly decks, hard to read |
| Proof of results | Few or none | Real Search Console and Google Ads data, names hidden | Big-brand logos |
| Contract | Informal | Monthly, no lock-in | 6 to 12 month contracts |
| Contact | Hard to reach when busy | WhatsApp, phone and one point of contact | Account managers and tickets |
