Two reasons: SEO is a marathon, not a sprint and builds over time. We do see improvements from the first month, but the strongest results continue to build into the second year and beyond. We also build your website up front and spread that cost across the term, which keeps your monthly fee low.
Your OWM Snapshot, project setup and the first steps of your build. It is due when you sign.
Your domain name and your content are yours from day one. Due to the low monthly cost, BlindDrop retains the rights to, and ownership of, the website until the end of the 24-month term.The site ownership transfers to you once the build cost is paid off, either at the end of the term or through an early buyout.
We would rather hear about the problem first, because most can be fixed. If you still want to go, you pay the remaining build balance. If you want to take the site to another host, there is also a $995 Site Transfer Fee. Both are set out in your agreement before you sign.
Your plan continues month to month at the same price. You can cancel with 30 days’ notice, keep going, or move up to a bigger SEO or web marketing plan.
No, and be wary of anyone who does. Google decides the rankings. However, we can say, historically, we have ranked all of our clients’ sites to #1 and Page 1 rankings. We do the work that earns them and show you the results every month.
GST, and any add-ons you choose. That’s it.
These are the key terms. Your written agreement has the full details, and you will see it before you sign anything.
These are the terms and conditions of the Essential SEO Ranking Report Package.
Acceptance:
By signing up and providing payment information, you agree to these Terms & Conditions.
