Firearms SEO agency comparisons
There are more agencies selling firearms SEO than there are agencies that publish what they do. These pages compare Nasheo with 4 providers that firearms manufacturers, FFL dealers and retailers, shooting ranges and accessory brands are likely to shortlist. Each comparison is built only from what the other agency states on its own public site, shows the date we last checked, and marks anything unverified as “not advertised” rather than “no.”

Six questions to ask any firearms SEO agency
Use these on every shortlist — including Nasheo. The comparison pages are organized around the same questions.
- 01
Is pricing published, or does it come after a sales call?
Published pricing forces a fixed scope. Quoted pricing is usually a retainer whose scope moves.
- 02
What ships in the first 30 days, and what does the report look like?
Ask to see the report template before you pay. If the answer is a dashboard login, keep asking.
- 03
Where do your links come from?
Networks of owned sites, paid placements, and expired domains are the tactics that get sites penalized, and firearms sites have fewer second chances. Refusals are more valuable than promises here.
- 04
Who reviews copy against platform policies and state firearms advertising laws before it goes live?
A page that suggests shipping a restricted item into the wrong state is your liability, not the agency's.
- 05
How do you handle a Google Business Profile for a manufacturer or online-only seller without a storefront?
The correct answer is that they do not create one. A fake pin gets suspended and can drag the brand's other listings with it.
- 06
Do you guarantee rankings, a Map Pack slot, or a revenue number?
Nobody controls Google. A guarantee is either a sales tactic or a scheme.
How these comparisons are built
- Capabilities are marked “Yes” or “No” only where the provider says so itself. Everything else is “Not advertised.”
- Every page shows the date the provider's site was last reviewed. Providers change their offers; if something is out of date, email hello@nasheo.com and we will correct it.
- Nasheo's column is held to the same standard: a $5,000 fixed-scope foundation, published on the homepage, and a public Day 30 report format. SEO work only: no website builds, no link building, no paid search, no ranking guarantees.
- Each comparison includes an honest “choose them if” statement. If another agency is the better fit, these pages should make that obvious.
