The Traditional SEO Problem
Most SEO agencies are still optimizing for 2015. Here's why that's a problem in 2025.
Slow Manual Cycles
Traditional agencies run 30-60 day optimization cycles. By the time they implement changes, Google's algorithm has already shifted. AI search platforms move even faster.
Ignoring AI Search
67% of searches now show Google AI Overviews, and ChatGPT has 100M+ users. Most agencies still focus only on traditional Google rankings—missing massive traffic opportunities.
Hidden Fees & Costs
$2,000/month base rate, plus $500 for content, $300 for reporting, $800 for technical SEO. Total: $3,600+/month with unclear deliverables.
Manual A/B Testing
Most agencies never A/B test. Those that do run tests quarterly at best. Throdl's AI tests continuously—thousands of variations per month.

Do you offer the same "strategy calls" as traditional agencies?
Higher-tier plans include monthly strategy reviews, but most optimization happens autonomously. You won't need weekly calls because the AI handles day-to-day decisions. Results speak louder than meetings.
