Answers to the questions we get most.

4Q Consultancy offers seven core services: Website Design, SEO / AEO / GEO, Paid Advertising, Web Presence Management, Social Media Management, Digital Strategy, and Branding. Most clients combine two or more into a monthly retainer.

AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) is the practice of structuring content so AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews) cite your brand in their answers. GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) builds entity authority across the web so your brand appears in AI-generated summaries. Traditional SEO focuses on search engine rankings; AEO and GEO focus on how AI surfaces information.

Both, depending on your needs. We build on WordPress, Webflow, and fully custom HTML/CSS/JS. We recommend the platform that gives you the best performance, lowest maintenance cost, and easiest self-management for your team.

Retainer services start from $1,000/month. Most clients invest between $2,000 and $5,000/month for a multi-channel retainer. Website design projects start from $3,500. Every engagement receives an itemised proposal after a discovery call.

Both. Website builds and brand identity packages are typically one-time projects. SEO, paid advertising, social media, and web presence management are retainer services — they require ongoing work to deliver results.

Our retainers run month-to-month after an initial 3-month commitment. The 3-month minimum ensures enough time to see meaningful results. We believe results keep clients, not contracts.

Technical SEO fixes (speed, indexing, structure) can improve rankings within 4 to 8 weeks. Content and authority-building compounds over time, with meaningful organic traffic growth typically visible at the 3 to 6 month mark. AEO citation appearances can happen faster, within weeks of publishing well-structured content.

After signing, you receive an onboarding questionnaire covering your brand, goals, existing assets, and competitors. Within the first week, we hold a kick-off call and deliver a 30-day plan. Ongoing: weekly async updates and a monthly video call with reporting.
