Communication Expectations:
Whenever a client signs up for an SEO management package with One Firefly, they will be assigned a dedicated SEO strategist.
After the completion of your onboarding, every client will undergo a pre-launch strategy call with your SEO strategist. After this call, the internal One Firefly SEO team will undergo an analysis of your website and current digital presence. We will then review these findings with you during a call that will also go over our goals for your initial SEO optimizations and set the expectation for further communication cadences based on the tier the client signed up for.

Each client enrolled in SEO management packages also will be entitled to a monthly activity summary, which will be a document detailing all of the activities performed every month. This document will be sent via the SEO strategist, with the aim of providing clarity at what the One Firefly team is doing to address the long-term strategy of Search Engine Optimization.
Every client also will receive a quarterly SEO performance report that will detail your long-term performance based on key performance indicators. These KPIs will be dependent on the tier the client enrolls in.

The One Firefly 360° SEO Audit
Clients that newly enroll in Tiers 2 or 3 of the SEO Management Packages will receive the One Firefly 360° SEO Audit prior to the launch of their services. The cost of this audit is included in your account setup fee, which can be waived with the signing of a 12-month contract.
Clients are also able to purchase the 360° SEO Audit at any time, a-la-carte.
This audit takes a deep dive into the four primary pillars of search engine optimization and evaluates your business’s current presence in the following areas:
- Local SEO
- On-Site SEO
- Technical SEO
- Off-Site SEO
Once this audit is completed, the SEO strategist will share the report with the client and review either on the pre-launch call for new SEO Management clients, or in a separate meeting for those that purchased the audit a-la-carte.
For those that enroll in the SEO Management Packages, the findings in this report will help influence the initial strategy One Firefly deploys to elevate your SEO presence.
A-La-Carte Performance Content
Any client that enrolls in an SEO Management Package with One Firefly is eligible to purchase Performance Content a-la-carte. Performance Content is defined as a new webpage optimized specifically for local SEO growth. These webpages, for example, can entail town-specific pages, city-specific solution pages, or city-specific manufacturer pages.
There is no limit to the monthly amount of Performance Content pages a client can enroll with. Page strategy will be defined by the SEO strategist based on regular communication and strategy calls with the client, with a rolling 6-month editorial calendar provided at the start of services that will be updated on a 3-month basis. These pages will not be sent for review and approval prior to publication, however, clients will be notified once these pages go live so they can provide One Firefly any relevant feedback and/or edits.
Expectation on Performance Reporting
Please note that One Firefly does not provide monthly SEO performance reporting. This is because Google's algorithms are constantly evolving, which can result in minor daily fluctuations in performance. Additionally, single-month SEO data does not offer meaningful long-term insights that are crucial for guiding strategy.
Instead, One Firefly will provide a monthly activity summary, outlining all completed SEO tasks from the previous month and explaining how each action contributes to your SEO growth. Your SEO strategist will also reach out each month via email, text, or phone to address any questions and share any relevant updates, including minor performance highlights.
SEO performance will be thoroughly reviewed during your quarterly meeting with the SEO strategist. By analyzing data over a three-month period, we can identify broader trends, evaluate the success of our strategies, and recommend any necessary optimizations.
Cancellation
The Client may cancel recurring monthly services at any point with a 30-day written notice. Upon written notice of intent to cancel, a mandatory cancellation survey will be sent to the client to be completed. Client will be officially canceled upon receipt of completed cancellation survey.
If the Client wishes to cancel within the first three months of an SEO contract, there will be a cancellation fee of one month’s service fee. If the Client wishes to cancel within 4-6 months of the contract’s start, there will be a cancellation fee of 25% of one month’s service fee. “One month’s service fee” will reflect either the contract’s first month or last month, whichever is greater. If the Client fails to pay the cancellation fee, One Firefly reserves the right to send the invoice to a collections agency.
Should a client under contract cancel services, the cancellation terms outlined in that agreement will apply.
By using One Firefly products and services, you agree to the most recent version of this Service Level Agreement. Additionally, One Firefly Invoices and Sales Receipts will always include a link to the most up to date Service Level Agreement. Your purchased services, pricing, and any associated terms are detailed on the invoice(s) delivered by One Firefly, LLC. Please refer to your invoice for the definitive description of the Services you have acquired.
