Tie SEO work to business results
Clients do not buy backlinks, they buy growth. Open your SEO proposal with the gap between where the site ranks today and the traffic and revenue that is on the table. Then show the strategy that closes it.
Set expectations on timing
SEO is a compounding investment, and managing expectations early prevents churn later. Use the timeline section to show what happens in the first ninety days versus where results typically appear, so the client commits with eyes open.
