Getting Started with Cognitex

We've streamlined our onboarding because nobody likes forms for the sake of forms. You'll be up and running within days, not weeks. And we mean actual running—not just account setup.

Start Your Journey

How We Get You Started

Most onboarding processes feel like bureaucracy for its own sake. Ours is different because we actually listen first. No cookie-cutter templates here.

1

Initial Discovery Call

We spend 45 minutes understanding where you are now and where you want to be. Not a sales pitch—an actual conversation. Bring questions. Most clients find this more valuable than they expected.

2

Market Position Analysis

Within three business days, we deliver a preliminary assessment of your current search visibility. Real data, not generic observations. This becomes the baseline we'll improve from.

3

Strategy Blueprint

We map out a specific approach for the first 90 days. You'll know exactly what we're doing and why. If something doesn't make sense for your business, we adjust before we start.

4

Technical Foundation

Account setups, access arrangements, tracking implementation. The boring but necessary stuff. We handle it efficiently so you can focus on running your business instead of managing logins.

5

First Actions Launch

By day ten, we're already executing. Not planning to plan—actually doing the work. You'll see tangible progress in the first month because we start with high-impact opportunities.

6

Regular Check-ins

Bi-weekly updates for the first two months, then monthly. We share what's working, what isn't, and what we're adjusting. Complete transparency keeps everyone aligned.

Common Obstacles We Address

Every business faces friction during onboarding. Here's how we handle the typical roadblocks so they don't slow you down.

Challenge

Limited Technical Resources

Many of our clients don't have dedicated IT staff or developers on hand. Making technical changes feels intimidating when you're not sure what might break.

Our Approach

We Handle Implementation

We work directly with your hosting provider or give you step-by-step guidance for simple changes. Most implementations require nothing more than copy-paste. If it's complicated, we find a workaround.

Challenge

Unclear Current Position

You know competitors show up in searches where you don't, but understanding exactly why requires expertise most businesses don't have in-house. Guessing wastes time and money.

Our Approach

Detailed Baseline Assessment

We audit your current visibility across relevant searches, identify specific gaps, and show you exactly where opportunities exist. This becomes your starting point and helps measure real progress.

Challenge

Previous Bad Experiences

Maybe you've worked with agencies before who promised everything and delivered reports full of jargon but no actual results. Trust takes time to rebuild after that.

Our Approach

Early, Visible Progress

We prioritize quick wins in the first 30 days so you see tangible movement. Not tricks—actual improvements you can verify yourself. Results rebuild confidence faster than promises ever could.

Portrait of Walter Grunwald, Operations Director

"I appreciated that Cognitex didn't waste weeks on strategy documents. They asked good questions upfront, showed us exactly what they planned to do, and started executing within days. By the end of month two, we were ranking for terms that actually bring us business inquiries."
