You might reasonably ask, "Why are the SEO contract terms six, nine, and twelve months?"
The explanation is that comprehensive SEO for most sites typically requires three to six months, depending upon the size and complexity of the site, and the SEO elements being implemented. Once all the SEO is in place, Google can take another three months ─ more or less ─ to thoroughly analyze the SEO on all of your site's pages, among the approximately fifty billion web pages it analyzes globally.
You might also ask, "Why do we even need a contract? Is it really necessary?"
You're probably familiar with the expression, "Get it in writing." That's much more than a cliché ... it's a must. If you hire an SEO firm ─ or, for that matter, a web designer or developer ─ without a signed contract in place, they can get away with just about anything, including:
-
raising their rates
-
simplifying their job description and reducing their responsibilities
-
walking away from the job with your money, without performing the agreed-upon work
Although a good contract legally protects both of you, it's much more important to you, for the simple reason that it's your money. It's always in your best interests to have a legally-binding contract signed and dated by all parties.

Incidentally, there are those who would have you believe that because PPC advertising ─ such as Google Ads ─ is a form of online marketing, not part of SEO ... that's an incorrect and faulty position. Please keep in mind that "SEO" stands for "search engine optimization", not merely "website optimization". SEO can be performed on everything you and your business have online, including, of course, your Google Ads.
Please be aware that most companies claiming to do SEO either over-price or under-price ... in either case, they invariably overpromise and underdeliver. They know that you're probably not familiar with the SEO process, and don't know how to determine their level of expertise, the quality of their work, or how much SEO should reasonably cost for your site ... all of which they take advantage of at your expense.
They can get away with their inferior work and unethical business practices because, just as is the case for web developers, web designers, and content writers, the field of SEO has no:
-
testing
-
licensing
-
regulatory authority
We believe there should be strict testing, licensing, and regulating in all of these fields.
All of our work is performed by us, with no outsourcing, and without the use of artificial intelligence (AI), which is overly-hyped, overused, makes countless mistakes, produces poor results, and ─ most importantly ─ "dumbs people down" ... keep in mind that the operative word in "artificial intelligence" is "artificial" ... AI is not a type of actual intelligence, any more than an artificial flower is a type of actual flower.
We provide a complimentary in-depth phone consultation and analysis of your website and other aspects of your company's online presence, with absolutely no obligation or sales pitch.
Many SEO companies have fees that continue every month and every year, indefinitely. Why? Because they want you to believe that SEO always requires the same amount of effort on their part and the same investment on your part to keep things running optimally. Which is simply untrue.
The majority of SEO typically is performed in the first three to six months, depending upon the size and complexity of your site, other aspects of your online presence, and the specific elements of SEO being implemented. Subsequently, it simply requires good routine maintenance, primarily in the form of adding and/or editing quality content. (An exception is Google Ads, which require constant monitoring and adjusting.)
