- Monthly SEO Reports – Detailing keyword performance, traffic analysis, and site improvements.
- Website Health & Technical Reports – Highlighting any detected technical issues.
- Content & Backlink Reports – If applicable to the client’s package.
Reports are delivered via email or a shared dashboard.

- Implement recommended changes (if not handled directly by ServiceProSEO).
- Inform ServiceProSEO of any website changes, migrations, or third-party interventions that may impact SEO performance.
- Make payments on time as per the agreed terms.
Failure to fulfil these responsibilities may impact service outcomes and timelines.
7. Service Limitations

8. Service Termination & Modifications
Either party may terminate or modify the service agreement by providing 30 days’ written notice, subject to the terms of the contract. Refunds or partial refunds are not offered for completed work or services in progress.
