Dear Robin,
I decided to move the estimate to an official proposal. This is the SOW for the 20 hour block of discounted hours in support of optimizing your new website as you migrate to a new platform.
To move forward and accept the terms, please click the “Accept” button in the upper right hand corner.

Return On Now offers discounted hourly services to clients who commit to 20+ hours in bulk or as a monthly retainer. For your website migration to SquareSpace, I estimate approximately 20 hours total for the effort. The standard open consulting hourly rate is $250, but for 20+ hours we discount that to $150 / hour.
We look forward to working with you and hope you are ready to approve of this proposal. To get started, please scroll to the top and click the "Accept" button on the top right area of this proposal page.

Services include technical audits, content strategy, and performance optimization, all guided by executive-level expertise without the expense of a full-time hire. Return On Now also provides Human + AI process consulting and digital advertising management to extend marketing performance even further.
With this approach, organizations gain smarter search results and lasting business impact.
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.
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.
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.
Both parties agree to keep all proprietary and confidential information private and not disclose such information to any third parties without written consent.
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.
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.
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).
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.
