SEO Services Agreement
An SEO services agreement is a marketing services contract in which a provider performs search engine optimization tasks for a client website over a defined period. Use this when an agency retains a client for ongoing SEO rather than a one-time audit. It sets deliverables like technical fixes and content briefs while disclaiming guaranteed rankings.
What's included
A ready-to-use seo services agreement covering target site(s) and baseline audit deliverable, monthly activities: technical, on-page, and content support, reporting metrics and meeting cadence, with signature fields already placed for Agency and Client. Fill in the bracketed details (like [Company Name] or [Date]) using Docracy's built-in text editor, then send it out for signature.
This is a general template for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Consult a qualified attorney to review it for your specific situation and jurisdiction before use.
