FAQ
Questions bike shop owners ask.
Who is Outwardly for?
Bike shops and e-bike dealers with a real storefront, starting with Mokwheel dealers. If you sell bikes from a showroom and want more people walking in for test rides, it's built for you.
What does it cost?
The core program is $1,495/month for a single-location shop on a 12-month agreement, and the $1,500 website build-out is included. Multi-location and big-metro shops get a quote after the free map scan.
What happens on the free map scan?
I run a geo-grid scan of where your shop shows up on Google Maps for the searches buyers make in your area, then score your site on six local signals. You keep the results whether you hire me or not.
How long does bike shop SEO take to work?
The foundation takes about four weeks for a single-location shop. Map rankings usually move within the first few months after the Google profile, schema and location pages are fixed. I judge it every quarter on clicks, calls and directions, and bikes sold against the day-zero baseline.
Do you buy backlinks?
No monthly link packages. A year of paid links at our own store showed no effect on organic clicks, Google profile actions or sales while the business doubled. Citations get done once at setup, then links are earned from your brand, suppliers, local press and partners.
Do you write blog posts?
Not a volume blog program. Answer pages for the real questions your buyers ask, written from your own search data, plus video. Word count isn't a ranking lever.
Do I have to be on Shopify?
Shopify is what the template is built on and what installs fastest. Other platforms work, but the build takes longer and I'll tell you that up front.
Why a 12-month agreement?
Local SEO compounds. The foundation takes a month, and the map and review gains show up over the following quarters. A year is what it takes to see the three lines move, and it lets me include the website build-out instead of charging for it.
Is there a month-to-month option?
No. The program is 12 months. If a year isn't right for you yet, ask about the Growth Roadmap, a one-time plan you can take and run yourself.
What about multiple locations or a big metro?
Multi-location and large-metro shops get their own quote after the free map scan, because the work scales with the number of locations and how competitive the market is.
Are ad spend and phone software included?
No. Google Ads spend and any phone system seats are paid directly by you. They're separate upgrades when you're ready for them.
Who owns my Google profile and website accounts?
You do. Your Google Business Profile, Shopify, GA4 and Search Console stay in your own accounts. I'm added as a manager or collaborator, and my access gets removed if we ever stop working together.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No. Nobody controls Google. What I commit to is the work, done in the right order, and an honest quarterly read on clicks, calls and directions, and bikes sold against your day-zero baseline.
Do you only work with Mokwheel dealers?
Mokwheel dealers come first because that's where the system was built, but any bike shop or e-bike dealer with a storefront can start with the free map scan.
Start with a free map scan
I'll scan where your shop shows up on Google Maps across your market and score your site on the six signals that go with top local rankings. You get the grid and the scorecard either way.
