Frequently asked questions
What is an SEO gap analysis?
It compares your current search visibility, pages, content and technical foundations with the opportunities available in your market and the performance of relevant competitors, to identify what's missing, weak, unclear or underused.
Is this a full SEO audit?
It's a commercially prioritised audit rather than an exhaustive export of every website warning. The Competitor Sprint includes broader technical and content analysis; very large sites may need a separately scoped technical audit.
Do you need access to Search Console?
Strongly recommended but not mandatory. With access the analysis uses your real queries, pages, impressions and clicks. Without it we rely more on public and third-party observations.
Can you work with our existing SEO agency?
Yes. Shelby can provide an independent report for your current agency or internal team to implement. The service is not designed to force an agency replacement.
Will you tell us exactly what to change?
Yes. Recommendations identify the page, the problem, the evidence, the proposed change, the priority, who can implement it and how the result should be measured.
Can you implement the changes?
Yes, when you select Quick Optimisation or the Competitor Sprint and provide the required access. Implementation is subject to the agreed number and complexity of actions.
What can be completed in seven days?
A focused SEO Gap analysis and scoped set of on-page or basic technical quick wins, when access, approvals and website systems are ready. Large development, migrations and content programs are scoped separately.
Does SEO Gap include new content?
The Snapshot provides content recommendations. Quick Optimisation may include limited refinements to an agreed priority page. The Competitor Sprint includes deeper optimisation of selected pages and briefs for new-page opportunities.
Do you analyse local SEO?
Yes, when local search is relevant. This may include service-area pages, location relevance, Google Business Profile observations, local competitors and local conversion pathways.
Does this help with ChatGPT and AI search?
Many of the improvements that make content clearer, better structured and more authoritative also support AI-search visibility. Ongoing monitoring and broader AI implementation sits inside AI Search Optimisation.
Do you guarantee ranking improvements?
No responsible SEO provider can guarantee a specific organic ranking. Shelby identifies evidence-led opportunities, implements agreed improvements and measures the resulting performance.
How quickly will rankings change?
Search systems need time to recrawl, process and reassess updated pages. Progress should be reviewed over an appropriate measurement period, usually 30 / 60 / 90 days.
What happens after the report?
Implement it internally, send it to your developer or agency, purchase a Shelby quick-win implementation, commission a broader project, or move into monthly AI Search Optimisation. No ongoing contract is required.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. SEO Gap is a one-off engagement.
