Comparison
SerpHaven vs a typical SEO agency
Many agencies do good work. The differences that matter are how openly they measure, who actually does the work, and how they treat links and AI search. Here is how we compare, and what to ask anyone you hire.
| SerpHaven | a traditional SEO agency | |
|---|---|---|
| Measurement | Ranges and evidence; changes labelled real or noise | Often a single score or a rankings list |
| Reporting | Plain-language findings with the reason behind each one | Often dashboards that need explaining |
| Links | Earned only; a public list of what we refuse | Varies widely; ask what is bought or networked |
| AI search | Weekly sampling across six assistants | Often absent or a one-off check |
| Approvals | Nothing changes on your site or goes out in your name without your approval | Varies |
| Contract | Explained on the call | Often long lock-ins; ask |

- You need a specialist in a niche we do not cover

- You want transparent measurement you can check
