Common questions

What is Milestone Growth?

An AI-assisted SEO workspace for small businesses. Connect Google Search Console and GA4 to see your search clicks, impressions, keyword positions and traffic. Then work through an SEO checklist, run basic website checks, generate schema markup and draft content with AI. Google review requests and lead follow-up tools are included too.

Does Milestone change my website or publish anything for me?

No. Milestone suggests improvements and drafts content and schema markup. You, or whoever manages your website, review the work and publish it. Nothing on your website is changed automatically.

What do I need to connect?

For search and traffic reports, connect Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4. Your account includes setup steps, and you can call us if you get stuck. The review and follow-up tools work without them.

Can Milestone guarantee better rankings or a mention in AI answers?

No one can. Google decides rankings, and AI tools decide what they mention. Milestone helps you understand your search data and work on the basics that make a website easier to find and understand. Results vary by business, location and competition.

How do the Google review tools work?

Email a customer a review request. They can leave a Google review or send you optional private feedback, and the Google option is always offered. When you add a review, AI drafts a reply; you approve or edit it, then one click copies it and opens Google so you can post it.

How much does it cost?

Every plan starts with a free 14-day trial with everything unlocked and no credit card. After that, Growth Starter is $49, Growth Big is $99 and Agency Access is $249 per month, with no contract. The SEO tools are included from Growth Big.

Can I see my website before I pay?

Yes. Create a free account and complete your business profile, and we'll prepare a free website preview: a custom homepage design for your business that you can view online, within 10 days. There's no obligation. If you decide to go ahead, we agree on a price and payment terms, and your growth tools are included for the first 3 months of the build.
