Which SEO plan should I choose?
Choose Local Visibility for one primary location and a focused monthly scope. Choose Growth Engine when you need broader content, several services or locations, stronger technical implementation, and a monthly strategy call. Market Authority is for multi-location, national, or technically complex growth. I will confirm fit before an agreement is issued.
What is the difference between monthly, quarterly, and annual billing?
The deliverable framework is the same for the selected plan. Monthly offers maximum flexibility. Quarterly is prepaid every three months at an approximately 7% saving. Annual is prepaid and reserves capacity for twelve months at the equivalent of ten monthly payments.
Will I be charged the effective monthly amount?
No. For quarterly and annual options the page shows both the actual billed total and an effective monthly figure for comparison. Your proposal and invoice state the exact amount and billing date.
What counts as a content deliverable?
One agreed search-focused asset — a service page, location page, article, comparison page, landing-page rewrite, or equivalent substantial refresh — completed to the brief and review allowance. Length follows search intent rather than a fixed word-count promise.
Are backlinks included?
Link-opportunity research and link-earning strategy can be included by plan. Paid placements, sponsorships, outreach vendors, digital-PR production, and placement fees are not included unless they appear as a separate line item.
Do you guarantee first-page rankings or a specific number of leads?
No. No ethical SEO provider can guarantee a ranking, traffic level, lead count, or revenue result. I commit to the agreed work, transparent measurement, prioritized recommendations, and clear reporting. Outcomes also depend on competition, site history, approvals, offer quality, and market conditions.
Will I work directly with you?
Yes. I lead the strategy and remain responsible for the engagement. Specialised collaborators may support approved production tasks, but there is no sales-to-junior-team handoff.
Are development fixes included in SEO retainers?
Defined technical fixes within the agreed site and stack are included according to the plan. Major redesigns, migrations, new applications, extensive templates, and custom integrations are estimated separately.
Can I cancel or pause?
Monthly terms, notice periods, quarterly commitments, and annual capacity reservations are all defined in the agreement before you sign. Ask on the call and it will be written down — nothing on this page overrides the signed scope.
Which currency will I pay in?
Select USD, CAD, or GBP on this page. The proposal and invoice confirm the final currency. Prices are fixed commercial amounts for each market rather than daily exchange-rate conversions, so the website, proposal, and invoice always agree.
Are taxes and software costs included?
Applicable taxes and third-party costs — hosting, premium plugins, CRM, messaging, AI usage, APIs, media, and paid placements — are separate unless specifically listed.
Can we work through Upwork?
Yes, when appropriate. Platform fees, contract structure, milestones, and payment terms are reflected in the Upwork offer rather than assumed to match a direct engagement.
What happens on the free fit call?
The fit call is a short conversation about goals, market, constraints, access, and the right engagement model. Detailed research, diagnosis, and a prioritized roadmap are delivered through the paid Blueprint or project discovery.
Prices are starting points for the stated scope. Final deliverables, schedule, responsibilities, billing, taxes, communication, and acceptance criteria are confirmed in writing before work begins. Advertising spend, paid placements, hosting, premium software, API and model usage, messaging, and third-party platform fees are not included unless specifically listed. SEO outcomes are not guaranteed.
