SEO consultation

SEO consultation: 90 minutes with a senior expert, $595

At Falia, an SEO consultation starts at $595. You get 90 minutes by video call with one of the two partners, then a written summary within 48 hours, built to decide where to invest. The meeting stands on its own, with no commitment.

What you get, and what it costs

The consultation includes two things: a partner's judgment, and the written summary that comes out of it.

90 minutes by video call with a partner

The meeting lasts 90 minutes. Up to four people can join, which is often more effective when the decision is made by several of you. The session is recorded, and the 90 minutes are entirely devoted to your question.

A written summary for your leadership within 48 hours

The document arrives within 48 business hours. It is built to clarify your investment decisions.

Your market situation, as we read it after the meeting.
What is holding your organic sales back right now, in order of importance.
The three priorities we keep, in SEO and in GEO, with the effort and the timeline of each.
What we would do in your place to bring your cost of acquisition down.
The work we leave aside, and why.
The questions to put to your current agency, if you have one.

$595, paid on booking

The amount covers the 90-minute meeting and the written summary delivered within 48 hours.

The questions a consultation answers

Four situations come up again and again. They all have the same shape: a budget to decide, and the need for an independent opinion on where to put it.

Why does my site bring in so few enquiries?

We look together at what Google sees of your site and which profitable queries you show up on. The brake is often technical, or tied to the authority of the content. Knowing which one changes the order of the investments.

Is SEO worth it for my business?

For some businesses, no. A market with no search volume, a captive customer base: the budget is better placed elsewhere, in LinkedIn advertising for instance. We tell you right away, rather than billing you a year of organic search.

Is this SEO proposal I received worth its price?

You send us another agency's proposal. The partner reads it line by line: what is superfluous, what is missing and the fair price. It is the most frequent use of this consultation.

Where do I start with the budget I have?

You tell us your acquisition budget and we order the work accordingly. A budget of $800 a month does not call for the same strategy as a budget of $5,000. The summary gives you that sequence.

How the consultation unfolds

Three moments, over about a week.

01
Before: your data
After payment, a short questionnaire, about twenty minutes on your side. What we ask for:
- Read access to your Search Console and Google Analytics (GA4).
- The three competitors taking market share from you.
- Your gross margin, or the value of a closed sale (LTV).
- The agency proposal you want checked.
The partner spends two hours on your figures before the meeting. So the 90 minutes start with findings.
02
During: the 90 minutes
The order of the meeting adjusts to your issue.
- 20 min on your figures (Analytics and Search Console).
- 30 min on your competitors and the queries that pay.
- 30 min on the decisions: where to invest first.
- 10 min for your questions.
03
After: the strategic summary
The summary goes out within 48 hours, with the recording. Three options: you execute it in house, you hand it to your current agency, or you entrust us with the execution. The decision is yours.

Why our SEO analysis is paid

Because a billed opinion can afford to be independent. A free analysis is paid for by whatever follows it. By billing the 90 minutes $595, we can tell you to buy nothing.

Those 90 minutes take a partner half a day, preparation included. With sixteen growth engagements at most, every consultation counts on its own.

Lastly, a plan you paid for gets read. The summary is short, direct and backed by figures, written for your leadership.

The partners you will be facing

One of the two partners leads the meeting from start to finish. On a question of organic leads, it is Geneviève.

Gabriel Gervais

Partner · Strategy, advertising and measurement

Gabriel keeps the profitability calculation. He takes the consultation when the question is how to split the budget between Google Ads, Meta Ads and SEO to bring your cost of acquisition down.

Geneviève Cyr

Partner · Web development, SEO and GEO

Geneviève keeps organic visibility. Search rankings, AI visibility (GEO), conversion (CRO): she runs the chain that turns a visit into a sale. She leads the SEO consultations.

Who the consultation is for

Five situations where we will tell you to keep your budget.

Your site does not exist yet. As long as there is nothing to measure, the opinion comes too early.
Nobody will execute the plan. Paying for a consultation whose plan stays in a drawer is a poor investment.
You want an SEO engagement, not an opinion. The 30-minute call, free of charge, is the way into an engagement.
Your market has no buyers on Google. If your buyers do not search on Google, we tell you within the first ten minutes and we refund you.
You want a complete technical rebuild. The consultation is a decision meeting; the full specification belongs to the SEO audit.

SEO consultation or SEO engagement: how to choose

The consultation sells a decision; the engagement sells the execution.

	SEO consultation	SEO and GEO engagement
What you buy	A senior decision on your investment priorities	The growth of your sales and your leads, month after month
Price	$595, once	From $1,600 a month
Commitment	None	None: the engagement is renewed on the figures

The right choice if	You want to decide where to invest, or check a proposal	You entrust us with growing your qualified leads

The detail of the full engagement is on the SEO agency page. For a question that goes beyond organic search, the digital marketing consultation is the same format, at the same price.

Frequently asked questions about the SEO consultation

How much does a serious SEO analysis cost in Quebec?

At Falia, $595 for 90 minutes with a partner and a written summary within 48 hours. That payment is what keeps our opinion independent.

What exactly do I receive?

A written document, delivered within 48 hours: your market situation, the three priorities for action, the recommended investment plan and the work we would leave aside. It is written for your leadership.

Who leads the meeting?

One of the two partners, Gabriel or Geneviève. Geneviève leads the consultations about SEO, GEO and conversion (CRO). Gabriel takes over when the question is about advertising ROAS or CRM integration. The person advising you is the one who would run the engagement.

Do I need to prepare any data?

You answer the questionnaire and give read access to GA4 and Google Search Console. Those figures let us tie your rankings to your sales. You can remove the access the next day.

What is the difference with an SEO audit?

The consultation ($595) is a 90-minute decision meeting that answers the question “should I invest in my organic search, and where?”. The SEO audit (from $2,995) is an in-depth review, delivered to your team to be executed.

Can I hand this plan to my current agency?

Yes, the document belongs to you. You can ask your agency to execute the plan. We write it for that.

Are you already working for one of my competitors?

We check before taking the payment. We take one client per industry, so that our advice serves your interests alone. If your industry is already taken, we decline the consultation and tell you right away.

Would you rather read our thinking first?

Our thinking on SEO and GEO is free to read.
