TIL a lot of agencies in my city still push for a 6-month SEO contract minimum.

I've been talking to other agency owners in Chicago, and at least four this month told me they won't start a project without that long-term lock-in. In my experience, you can show real value in 90 days with a clear plan and weekly reports. This scares off smaller clients who need help but can't commit that far out. Are you guys still requiring those long contracts, or have you moved to shorter terms?

Our shop in Austin does 90-day plans. The six-month lock feels like a cash grab, honestly.

Right there with you, six months is way too long.

Why do they need that much time?

So what's the real benefit for the client with six months?
