Onboarding checklist
Everything needed from your team before campaign launch:
- Google Search Console and Analytics read access
- Website CMS or staging credentials for technical implementation
- Brand voice guidelines, approved visual assets, and preferred styling
- Primary contact designated for rapid review and feedback
- Overview of priority service lines and target search territories

FAQS
Questions about how we work
Clear expectations, rigorous governance, and seamless onboarding logistics designed to protect your team's time.
How quickly does our team onboard and start initial work?
Once our service agreement is finalised, we issue your secure onboarding checklist within hours. Kickoff discovery commences immediately upon receiving technical asset permissions, with baseline data audits running in parallel to ensure zero operational delay.
What is the approval process before technical optimisation goes live?
Nothing touches production environments without explicit client authorisation. Every technical recommendation, architectural update, or content revision undergoes structured staging previews with documented rationale before your designated lead approves release.
How much weekly commitment is required from our internal staff?
Our workflow is engineered to respect your executive team's calendar. Aside from the initial onboarding discovery and our focused monthly governance review, asynchronous reporting keeps stakeholder involvement under two hours per month.
What communication standards and response windows do you maintain?
We enforce a strict one-working-day reply policy across all client enquiries and technical tickets. Direct collaboration occurs via designated communication channels, supplemented by real-time executive dashboard access.
How do we handle scope adjustments if business priorities pivot?
Sprint governance accommodates strategic pivots naturally. Monthly retrospectives review audience behaviour and channel performance metrics, allowing reallocations of engineering and content capacity without contract re-negotiations.
