Are SEO contracts holding you back? 🚫 In this video, we break down why SEO contracts can be a bad idea for both agencies and clients. Learn how a pay-for-performance model offers flexibility, eliminates unnecessary stress, and ensures you're only paying for results that matter. Discover why working without contracts allows for better relationships and accountability while giving both parties the freedom to part ways if expectations aren’t met.

In episode 555 of our weekly Hump Day Hangouts, one participant asked whether Bradley uses contracts for SEO or link building services, and how he protects himself if not.

The exact question was:

Do you do any type of contracts for your link building or SEO services? If not, how do you protect yourself in case anything happens?
