We offer three-month and six-month SEO contracts, so you can select the term that's right for your needs and your budget. All contracts may be renewed ─ or extended on a monthly basis ─ with a no-price-increase guarantee. And all contracts include unlimited phone support.
You might reasonably ask, "Why are the SEO contract terms three months and six months?"
The explanation is that comprehensive SEO for most sites typically requires at least several months to install, depending upon the size and complexity of the site, and the SEO elements being implemented. As the SEO is being perormed, Google typically takes about three to six months to read, analyze, and rank the SEO on your site, among the approximately fifty billion web pages Google ranks 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 agency ─ or, for that matter, a web designer or web 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 parties, it's 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, 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 your Google Business Profile and Yelp Business Listing.
Please be aware that most agencies 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 a plastic 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 few 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.
