Free Local Seo Expert
Service Agreement
One bad client dispute will vaporize your profit and leave you paying out of pocket for software seats and ad spend. Without a signed lock, they'll hijack your rankings and ghost the bill while your business bleeds out.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a 'Suspension of Service' clause so you can legally kill their visibility the minute a payment hits thirty days overdue.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Local Seo Expert, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when the client demands extra work that wasn't in the original deal?
That's scope creep, and it's a profit killer. You point to the 'Service Bounds' section of your agreement and tell them anything outside those lines requires a signed Change Order and a fresh invoice.
How do I stop a client from ghosting me after I do all the heavy lifting upfront?
You don't start the engine without a non-refundable deposit. Your contract should stipulate that work begins only after the first payment clears, ensuring you aren't financing their growth for free.
The client wants to 'pause' but keep the rankings I built. How do I handle that?
Rankings are rented, not owned. Use your contract to define 'Ongoing Maintenance' fees, making it clear that if the monthly payment stops, your active management and proprietary local signals stop with it.
