Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about how Slingshot Local works.
How does AI-powered SEO work?
Our AI engine handles the heavy lifting of SEO — writing blog posts optimized for local search, running technical audits, managing your Google Business Profile, and compiling performance reports. Think of it like having a full SEO team working around the clock, but at a fraction of the cost. Every piece of content goes through quality checks before it's published to your site.
Is my data safe?
Absolutely. We use encryption in transit and at rest, secure authentication, and strict access controls. Your business data is used only to deliver your SEO services — we never sell it, and we don't use it to train AI models. When you cancel, your data is retained for 90 days and then permanently deleted.
How is this different from a regular SEO agency?
Traditional agencies rely on human teams for every task, which means higher costs, slower turnaround, and inconsistent output. We use AI to handle execution — content writing, audits, reporting — which means we deliver more work, faster, at a lower cost. You still get agency-quality strategy and human support when you need it.
Is the content written by AI? Will Google penalize that?
Yes, our content is AI-generated, and we're transparent about that. Google has stated clearly that AI-generated content is not against their guidelines — what matters is quality. Every piece goes through quality checks for accuracy, readability, and SEO optimization. The result is consistent, high-quality content published on a schedule no human team could match at this price.
How long until I see results?
SEO is a compounding strategy — the longer you do it, the stronger it gets. Most clients see measurable improvements in visibility within 90 days. That's why we offer our guarantee: if you don't see improvement in 90 days, we'll continue working for up to one additional quarter at no charge.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contracts, no cancellation fees. We earn your business every month. If you cancel, service continues through the end of your billing period, and we'll export all content created for your account.
What if I already have an SEO agency?
Start with our free Visibility Scorecard to see how your current results compare. Many clients switch to us after seeing the gap between what they're paying and what they're getting. We can also run a side-by-side Diagnostic for $99.
Do you work with businesses in my industry?
We specialize in local service businesses — plumbers, dentists, contractors, lawyers, restaurants, landscapers, and similar. If your customers find you through local search, we can help.
What does market exclusivity mean?
On our Accelerate plan ($1,000/mo), we guarantee we won't work with a direct competitor in your service area. This means your content strategy won't be diluted, and you get full competitive advantage in your local market.
What's included in the monthly report?
A clear summary of what was published, how your visibility changed, key metrics (traffic, rankings, reviews), and what's planned for next month. Written for business owners, not SEO nerds. No jargon, no vanity metrics — just the numbers that matter to your bottom line.
