FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The questions people ask most often when they get in touch, with honest answers.

SEO

How long does it take to see SEO results?

Once technical issues are fixed (indexing, speed, canonical), the first changes are usually noticed within 2-4 weeks. Stable growth from content and links typically takes 3-6 months. Be skeptical of any offer promising top rankings in one week.

How much does SEO service cost?

The price depends on the scope of work: a one-time technical audit and a comprehensive monthly engagement require entirely different amounts of effort. After reviewing your site, I will give you an exact figure — the initial review is free.

Do you provide a guarantee?

I do not guarantee a specific ranking — no one can honestly do so, because search results depend on Google's algorithm. What I do guarantee: a list of completed work, measurable metrics, and transparent reporting at every stage.

My site is not visible on Google at all. What could be the reason?

First, check indexing: search site:sayt.uz on Google. If there are no results, the cause is usually one of three — robots.txt is blocking, noindex has been left on pages, or the site has not been added to Search Console. Until these are fixed, creating content is of no use.

How much does site speed affect rankings?

Speed is a ranking factor, but not a decisive one. A fast site with irrelevant content won't rank above a slower site with relevant content. However, speed directly affects conversion — users don't wait on slow pages. You should keep Core Web Vitals metrics within acceptable ranges, but chasing a 100/100 score isn't necessary.

Should I buy backlinks?

I don't recommend it. Low-quality links provide little benefit today and can come back as a problem in the future. A much more reliable path is earning genuine mentions: quality content, local publications, professional communities.

The site is on a new domain. When can I expect results?

A new domain won't earn Google's trust immediately. Indexing may start within a few days, but meaningful rankings for competitive keywords usually take several months. During that period, building a solid technical foundation and content base is the right strategy.

Do I need a multilingual site?

If your audience is genuinely in multiple languages — yes. Otherwise, a half-translated second language brings no benefit and creates problems. If you add it — make sure hreflang tags are consistent in HTML and the sitemap; this is the most common mistake.

Google Ads

What is the minimum budget for Google Ads?

The budget depends on your goal: the higher the competition, the higher the cost per click. The right approach is to start the campaign in test mode with a small budget and scale it once you have collected data.

SEO and Google Ads — which one do I need?

Ads delivers traffic immediately, but if you stop paying, the traffic stops too. SEO is slower but long-term. For a new business, it is usually best to use both together: use Ads to quickly validate demand, while building the SEO foundation in parallel.

My ad is running, but there are no sales. Where is the problem?

In many cases, the problem is not the ad itself, but the next step: the landing page does not restate the promise, the form is too complex, the phone number is not visible, or the mobile version is inconvenient. To identify this, conversion tracking must be set up correctly — otherwise we would be working based on guesses.

Can I run the campaign myself?

Yes, learning the basic settings is not difficult. The most common budget-wasting mistakes are leaving the Display network on, leaving the location setting as "presence or interest", and not having a negative keyword list. If these three are fixed, a large part of the budget is saved.

AI

What does AI automation mean?

Delegating repetitive tasks to software and language models: content creation, data collection and analysis, reports, and first-line responses to customer inquiries. The goal is not to replace people, but to reduce manual work.

Will Google penalize AI-written content?

Google evaluates content by quality, not by who wrote it. Useful, experience-based, and verified material can rank normally even if written with AI assistance. What gets penalized is mass-produced text that no one needs and is created only for search.

What should I do for my site to appear in ChatGPT answers?

Three things: make the site accessible to AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot are not blocked), ensure content is visible without JavaScript, and make each section a standalone, quotable answer. Brand mentions are also important — they are a stronger signal than links.

General

Do you only work on projects in Uzbekistan?

No. I work remotely, and the language can be Uzbek, Russian, or English. The key is that the task is clearly defined.

No website, only an idea. Can you help?

Yes. In such cases, we first determine what needs to be built: sometimes a full platform is not required; a one-page website or a Telegram bot may be enough.

How do we start the work?

You briefly describe your task via Telegram or email. I will review the site and give you a realistic assessment (this stage is free). Once we agree, we define the scope, timeline, and price, then proceed step by step.

Can you show your successful results?

Yes. My own projects are public: Zamin.uz (since 2014, 2nd place in the National Internet Competition), Bisyor.uz, One.uz, Playmatch, and apps on the App Store and Google Play. I will share details about client projects with their consent.
