For SEO consultants
Search results take months, and clients judge you in weeks. Start with an audit as its own piece of work, move them to a monthly arrangement, and let the clients who stay say so on your page.
Results take months, invoices don’t
A client signs up in January and wants to know in February why nothing has moved.
The audit is the most valuable thing you deliver, and it’s often given away to win the retainer.
Your best evidence is a client’s traffic chart, and they’d rather you didn’t share it.
Your page on the first day
This is the consulting setup, and it’s what your page starts with. Change any of it where it appears.
- Clients can book from tomorrow onward.
- Moving or canceling is free up to 24 hours before.
- There are 15 minutes clear after every session.
- Before booking, your page asks: “What should I read before we talk?”
Your engagement letter opens with this: Advice is given in good faith on the information you share; decisions and outcomes stay yours.
Questions SEO consultants ask
Should an SEO consultant charge for an audit?
Yes. An audit is the plan, and a client who pays for it reads it. Credit part of it against the first month if they go on.
How long should an SEO retainer last?
At least six months, because rankings move slowly. Bill month to month with a notice period rather than locking anybody in.
What should an SEO contract say about results?
That you don’t guarantee rankings, because nobody controls them. Promise the work, the reports and the time, and describe each one.
What’s different for SEO consultants
Words from clients, asked for automatically
After a client’s third session, an email from your name asks for a few words. They write them, and they appear on your page only once you tap Show on link.
The audit, then the month
Sell the audit as a half day or an offer with its own scope, then a monthly offering for the work that follows, charged to the client’s card each month.
What it doesn’t do for you
There’s no rank tracker, no site crawler and no reporting dashboard. Use your SEO tools as you do now; the page holds the arrangement and the money.
