For most businesses, yes — Licheo covers the full SEO spectrum including technical audits, content creation, GEO optimization, schema markup, link building, and rank tracking. WebFX specializes in seo agency. If your primary need is hands-off execution across all SEO areas, Licheo replaces WebFX entirely. If you need white-label agency reporting, WebFX may serve that niche use case.
All improvements Licheo makes — page optimizations, schema markup, content published, technical fixes — are permanent changes to your website. Unlike some platforms that revert changes on cancellation (such as JavaScript-injection tools), Licheo's work lives in your actual codebase and CMS. Your SEO gains are yours to keep.
