There is no universal date. The starting point, market, competition, site health, authority, and execution all matter. Explain early indicators and review progress consistently.

Competitors, search results, content, reviews, links, and technical conditions keep changing. Sustainable visibility requires continued work and adjustment.

No ethical provider controls Google’s rankings. We can guarantee the agreed work, transparency, and disciplined optimization—not a specific position.

Advertisers compete to show relevant ads for targeted searches. The client funds ad spend; Pladigi manages strategy, setup, measurement, and optimization within scope.

Ad spend is paid to the platform and varies by market, goals, and competition. Keeping it separate makes the management fee and media budget clear.

We confirm scope, onboarding contacts, required access, timeline, communication cadence, and client responsibilities before work begins.
