Scope and pricing

Prices shown on this site are our published starting prices and are correct at the time of publication. The exact scope, deliverables, and price for your engagement will be set out in a separate proposal or agreement. Where those documents conflict with this website, those documents govern.

No guarantee of rankings or results

We do not guarantee any specific ranking, position, traffic level, lead volume, or revenue outcome. Search engines and AI answer engines are controlled by third parties, change their systems without notice, and take into account many factors we do not control. Any figures, projections, or timelines shown on this site are illustrative targets, not promises. We will tell you honestly what we believe is achievable in your market and report on what actually happens.

What we need from you

Delivering our services depends on your cooperation, including timely access to your website, hosting, analytics, and business profiles, and timely review of content and recommendations. Delays in providing these will delay the work and may affect results.
