“NO CHARGE-BACK SEO” – WHAT IS IT?

Simply put – We’ve never had a charge-back. That is, we’ve never had a client dispute a credit card charge. Doesn’t sound like a big deal until you consider the fact that the vast majority of SEO companies routinely charge-back between 8% and 23% of their total monthly volume!

Here’s why:

The standard SEO company’s business model

  • Use a call center to contact and acquire clients
  • Promise a 90-day guarantee.  Tell the new clients that they will have page 1 search rankings in just 90 days
  • Have the new client sign a contract with fine print that states that SEO is a continually changing environment and results are not guaranteed
  • Outsource the SEO work to India, Pakistan or the Philippines where SEO work is dirt cheap and of extremely inconsistent, unpredictable quality
  • Expect that clients will cancel after 90 days when they don’t achieve results (an anticipated percentage of attrition is built-in to the standard business model)
  • Expect an “acceptable” level of charge-backs when clients are unhappy (approximately 120 days into their contracts)
  • Replace lost clients with new ones
  • Rinse and repeat

This is the business model of literally 90% of SEO companies.  It’s really unfortunate and has given SEO a very bad name.  It’s a waste of time and money.  This is ABSOLUTELY NOT our business model.

In Feb, 2017 we were awarded the "2017 Card Member Favorite" award from American Express.  This award was presented to
Sachs Marketing Group because we've never had a customer dispute or charge-back on an American Express charge.
