Questions
What does Big Search Media do?
We are an SEO consultancy focused on content and on-page optimization. We plan what to publish, brief your writers, refresh existing content, optimize key pages, handle local SEO and report results in terms of leads and revenue.
Will you write our blog posts?
Our role is the plan, the Search Briefs and an SEO edit of each draft. The writing itself stays with your team, freelancers or agency, so the voice and first-hand expertise are yours.
How long does content SEO take to work?
Refreshes and on-page changes can show results within weeks. New content typically takes three to six months to build traction, depending on competition and how often you publish.
Do you help with AI search visibility?
Yes. Content that answers questions directly, includes specific facts and uses clear structure is easier for AI assistants and Google's AI Overviews to quote. We plan and brief with that in mind.
What size businesses do you work with?
Mostly small and mid-sized businesses, lean marketing teams and multi-location brands, from a single-location practice to a few hundred storefronts.
How do we get started?
Send us a few details through the form. We look over your site and come back with a few notes and a recommended starting point, usually a content audit or keyword research.
