This is a work follow-up service, based on a solid website search engine optimization (SEO) foundation that is already in place.

New Domains Waiting Period

If your domain is brand new, there should be a waiting period of about six months before you will need to sign up if your site appears to be ‘sandboxed.’

However, you can sign up right away if you want Ceed to monitor your sandbox status for you. No significant changes will be recommended until the site is out of the sandbox.

Geographic Availability

This service is operated nationally so that Ceed clients are generally not in heavy direct competition with one another. Markets are viewed by major metropolitan area. Generally no more than 3 retainer clients will be accepted in any given market at any given point in time.

The exceptions are:
New York City – up to seven clients
Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston – up to five clients
Philadelphia, San Diego, Phoenix – up to four clients

More Information About Labor Hour Tracking

All work hours will be documented and reported to you quarterly in report form as a PDF attached to an email, or by mail, and will also be made available any time on request. Please note: requests for extra labor reports will be tracked against the available bank of administrative hours and therefore may result in account overage.

In terms of account administration, all general inquiries and requests from the client are generally counted against the bank of three administrative hours. Emails are read at no charge, however, requests for extensive written replies to training type questions are generally out of the scope of the contract, or may be permissible with your pre-approval of anticipated/resultant contract overage.

Telephone meetings and email used to set up these meetings, and generally findings reporting by email are counted against the bank of marketing hours, since these are generally used to review recommended changes and gain your feedback and approvals on work. We will probably have 1 longer call (40 minutes) and 2-3 short calls (10-20 minutes) over the course of one year.

Again, each case varies slightly.

Cancellation Option

You may cancal at anytime; hours will be cashed out at the rate of $80 per hour against your paid balance up to the date of cancellation.

Permissible Inclusions to the Contract

• Directory work may be counted toward the retainer because this type of work contributes to site quality score.

• Social Media profile work may be included. Additional third party fees may apply.

• Pay-per-click Account Management may be included / substituted on request. Overage charges may apply, plus direct charges to third party vendors such as Google Adwords.

If you have questions, please call 312-337-2592. Thanks in advance for your call.
