ABA Therapy SEO Case Study FAQ

Answered the way an engine would extract it.

Each answer opens with the answer. The FAQPage schema is generated from these fields and nothing else.

01Who did the work on this ABA therapy SEO engagement?

Andy Wang, the founder of SERP Masters, ran the engagement himself. There is no account manager layer: the audit, the fixes, the content direction and the monthly report all came from the same person.

02Where do the figures on this page come from?

Every figure is read from Keyword.com and a ChatGPT capture and quoted with its window. SERP Masters does not round figures up, restate them as bigger claims or present tool traffic estimates as visits; reported traffic comes from Google Search Console only.

03Will my site get the same result?

No one can promise that. Rankings depend on competitors, algorithm updates, link acquisition and crawl timing, so this page describes one engagement and does not predict another. The free audit shows what your site would need before any work is quoted.

04What does a ABA therapy SEO engagement with SERP Masters include?

The scope follows the healthcare SEO page: a technical audit first, then the on-page, local or content work the audit calls for, with every account run month to month and reported monthly.
