Risk reversal

What's guaranteed at every tier.

Every package — from a $300 single placement to a $7,500/mo Authority retainer — comes with the same four guarantees. In writing, in your SOW, with no legal gymnastics.

90-day progress guarantee

If we haven't agreed on visible ranking progress by day 90, month four is free while we re-strategise.

No lock-in

Month-to-month after 90 days. Cancel any time. Keep your dashboard exports and brief library.

Link replacement

If any placement drops or de-indexes within 12 months, I replace it free. Always.

Pricing questions

What founders ask before signing.

Why is your pricing higher than typical link-building agencies?

Because I'm not building the same links. Cheap agencies sell PBNs, link farms, and recycled publisher lists at $50–$150/placement. Real editorial links from real publishers, written manually, cost more to produce. The placements survive every core update. The ranking lift is real. If "cheapest possible" is your buying criteria, I'm not your guy — and we'd both regret it.

Can I mix one-off placements with a retainer?

Yes. A common combo: Starter retainer ($1.5k/mo) + 1–2 ad-hoc Tier-1 placements ($1,200 each) to push specific money keywords. We'll plan it together on the discovery call.

Does the audit credit toward a retainer?

Yes — the $1,500 audit cost rolls forward as a credit toward your first month if you sign a 3-month retainer within 30 days of audit delivery. Effectively, audit + first month of Starter = $1,500.

What payment methods do you accept?

Stripe (card / ACH) for monthly retainers — auto-charged on the 1st. Wire transfer for one-time engagements. Invoiced in USD, but I can issue invoices in GBP, EUR, AED, CAD, or AUD on request. Net-30 terms for established white-label agency partners.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. Every cost is on this page. Retainer prices are all-in. The two situations where extra costs apply: (1) "publisher fees" if you specifically request a placement on a site that charges an editorial fee — disclosed and approved upfront; (2) content writing on Starter is $150/post — included free on Growth and Authority.

Can I pause a retainer?

After the first 90 days: yes. You can pause for up to 60 days, downgrade tier, or end entirely with 14 days' notice. Pause means no charge, no delivery, dashboard stays live for you. Resume when ready.
