2025/2026 SEO for 1st Home and Commercial

Proposal presented by: Return On Now

Dear Robin,

Thanks for working with me on your website relaunch SEO efforts.

As a follow up, I am proposing the following additional services:

1. Quick Turn SEO Audit ($750) and 2 further discounted hours of remediation support ($250 total or $125 / hour) during December (additional hours would be at $150 / hour if needed)

2. Standard Link Insertion Campaign for $1,050 / month, delivering 14 links per month on websites with <30DR, for a 90 day minimum – starting January 1, 2026

Since your authority score on SEMrush has dropped from 22 in December 2024 to 14 today, off page is the utmost of importance for getting your traffic back on track. Both of these efforts will be valuable in righting the ship.

When you’re ready to accept, please click the button in the upper right hand corner and we will get started after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Thanks,
Tommy Landry, President

Quick Turn SEO Audit + 2 Hours Remediation

As a thank you for clients working with us on an SEO Strategy or hourly relaunch project, we offer our standard SEO audit at 50% discount off the full price of $1,500. We also intend to honor the discounted hourly rate of $150 should any additional hours be needed, however, we are including 2 hours of remediation at a bigger discount, for $125 each ($250 total). If we find issues needing attention beyond the two hours, the $150 rate will apply.

Standard Link Insertion Campaign

Beginning in January 2026, we will launch a link building campaign on your behalf. For this effort, we will be pursuing link insertions, where we reach out to domains with relevant content already indexed and request they add a link to your website for a publication fee. Links provided in this campaign are priced at $75 / link, and will be on domains with an ahrefs domain rating of less than 30. The types of websites we typically pursue will be mostly in the 15-25 DR range, although it's possible we will place links on domains with as high as 29 or lower than 15. The SOW for the minimum investment of $1,000+ will include 14 monthly links for $1,050 / month. Link insertion campaigns are configured to automatically convert to month-to-month after the 90 day minimum, unless you provide us with notice of cancellation a full month in advance. We do recommend you commit to 6+ months ideally, as Google sandboxes new links for up to 90 days and we often do not see authority score movement until the 4th month running the campaign.

Your Investment

The below line items summarize your minimum commitment for the project + 90 days of link building. Should we opt to continue the link building, the pricing will remain the same in perpetuity. If we have any adjustment to this service offering in the future, we will provide you a minimum of 45 days of notice before the pricing changes. We do not anticipate any changes in the minimum commitment period, so this would apply only if we convert to month-to-month on an ongoing basis.

Terms and Conditions

1. Engagement Scope

All services will be defined in a formal proposal or statement of work (SOW). Any additional work outside the agreed scope may require a new agreement or change order.

2. Fees and Payment

Payment terms will be outlined in the proposal. Unless otherwise agreed:

Project-based work requires a down payment before services will begin. You have the option of paying 50% in advance and the balance upon completion, or the full balance in advance with a 2% discount for up-front payment.
Retainer-based work is due on a monthly basis with net 30 payment terms, as is a'la carte hourly services.
Ongoing campaigns like link-building are billed on the 1st of each month due upon receipt, and must be paid in full before we will begin the process. We will forward an invoice from our accounting package (Wave) and prefer you set it to autopay upon receipt to ensure a timely kickoff of monthly services.

Work may be paused until outstanding balances are paid.

3. Client Responsibilities

Clients agree to provide timely access to necessary platforms, data, and decision-makers to ensure efficient project delivery. Delays caused by lack of access or approvals may affect timelines.

4. Confidentiality

Both parties agree to keep all proprietary and confidential information private and not disclose such information to any third parties without written consent.

5. Intellectual Property

You retain ownership of all content and assets provided. Upon full payment, you also own all deliverables created under this agreement. We reserve the right to showcase non-confidential work for portfolio or promotional use unless otherwise requested and agreed to in advance.

6. Performance Disclaimer

While we apply best practices and data-driven strategy, SEO, AEO, GEO, and marketing, outcomes can vary due to changes in search engine algorithms, competition, and overall search behaviors. We cannot in good faith guarantee specific rankings, traffic levels, or ROI due to the nature of algorithm-based platforms and competition.

7. Termination

Project-based work should be completed as specified and mid-stream cancellations will make the full amount due immediately should the project be abandoned without cause.

For ongoing / retainer work, minimum commitments as specified in this proposal are enforceable unless we reach mutual agreement to terminate early. All other ongoing services move to month-to-month upon completion of minimum commitment, and termination requires a full calendar month of notice (i.e. to cancel on the last day of March, we need notice by the last day of February).

8. Limitation of Liability

Return On Now is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of revenue or data, arising from the services provided. We follow industry and ethical best practices and will never engage in any black hat marketing practices that could put your website and business at risk.
