What We Do
Showcase Designs ("we," "us") provides one-time SEO reviews, SEO launch pages, ongoing search engine optimization (SEO), and separately scoped custom website services for businesses and service companies.
Visiting this website, submitting a form, requesting a free review, or discussing a possible project does not create a client relationship. A client relationship begins only after you accept a written proposal, both parties sign the applicable services agreement, and any required initial payment is received.
These terms provide general service policies. The accepted proposal and signed services agreement define the specific scope, schedule, fees, and obligations for an engagement. If those documents conflict with this page, the signed services agreement controls, followed by the accepted proposal.
Scope of Services
Our current service paths are:
- Keyword Research & 90-Day SEO Plan: a $750 one-time planning engagement that identifies or refines target keywords and delivers a prioritized plan for the client or its team to carry out. It does not include 90 days of SEO implementation, content publishing, Google Business Profile management, or monthly support. If an ongoing SEO engagement begins within 30 days of plan delivery, the full $750 is credited once to the first monthly SEO invoice. Foundation Setup remains separate and due in full.
- Basic One-Page Website: a $500 one-time, standardized single-page website with clear contact actions. An ongoing SEO campaign, content production, automation, maintenance, hosting fees, and future edits are not included unless separately stated.
- Local Growth: a $1,250 one-time Foundation Setup followed by $1,250 per month for one website, one business location, and one Google Business Profile. It reserves capacity for up to three prioritized SEO improvements each month. The six-month monthly term begins after setup is completed.
- Competitive Growth: a $1,750 one-time Foundation Setup followed by $2,500 per month for one website, one business location, and one Google Business Profile. It reserves capacity for up to six prioritized SEO improvements each month. The six-month monthly term begins after setup is completed.
- Market Leader: a $2,500 one-time Foundation Setup followed by $5,000 per month for one brand, one primary website, and up to three qualifying real locations. It reserves capacity for up to ten prioritized SEO improvements each month. The six-month monthly term begins after setup is completed.
- Custom website work: strategy, design, development, integrations, and related services scoped and priced in a separate proposal.
Content, new pages, and Google Business Profile publishing count toward the applicable monthly priority capacity. Reports, monitoring, written briefs, and included strategy sessions do not. There are no fixed page or post quotas. Multiple locations beyond the applicable plan, ecommerce, national campaigns, major content production, custom development, paid media, third-party fees, and work not expressly listed are outside the standard offers unless included in writing. The accepted proposal and signed services agreement always control the final deliverables.
Payment Terms
Unless the accepted proposal states a different schedule:
- The $750 Keyword Research & 90-Day SEO Plan is due in full before research begins.
- The $500 Basic One-Page Website is due in full before the build begins.
- A Local Growth, Competitive Growth, or Market Leader Foundation Setup is due in full before setup work begins.
- Monthly Local Growth, Competitive Growth, and Market Leader retainers are billed in advance after the Foundation Setup and are due on the date shown on the invoice.
- Custom website deposits, milestones, and final payments follow the accepted proposal.
Approved third-party costs, taxes, and out-of-scope work are additional unless the proposal expressly includes them. We accept payment by the method stated on the invoice. Late or failed payments may pause work, access, delivery, or launch until the balance is resolved.
Ownership & Intellectual Property
You retain ownership of materials you provide. After all amounts for the applicable work are paid, you own the final client-specific deliverables that the accepted proposal identifies as owned deliverables, including final reports, approved copy, and final website files created specifically for you.
Showcase Designs retains ownership of:
- Pre-existing code, frameworks, templates, builder components, internal tools, workflows, methods, and know-how
- Reusable or general-purpose components developed before or during the project
- Drafts, unused concepts, working files, and internal materials unless the proposal states otherwise
To the extent retained Showcase Designs material is embedded in a paid final deliverable, you receive a perpetual, non-exclusive license to use that material as part of the delivered work for your business. Third-party assets, fonts, plugins, platforms, and software remain governed by their own licenses and terms.
Public Use and Portfolio Permission
We will obtain your written permission before publicly using your business name, logo, project materials, testimonial, performance data, or results in a portfolio, case study, social post, or marketing material. We will not state or imply a client relationship without permission. Permission must cover the specific planned public use.
Client Responsibilities
To keep your project on track, we need you to:
- Provide content, photos, logos, and brand materials in a timely manner
- Be available for feedback and approvals at key milestones
- Ensure any content you provide doesn't infringe on anyone else's rights
- Provide accurate business, service, location, and claim information
- Provide necessary access to the website, domain, analytics, Search Console, Google Business Profile, or other systems included in scope
Delays caused by missing content or unresponsive approvals may push back your timeline.
Revisions and Out-of-Scope Work
The accepted proposal defines included revisions and work. Additional revisions, requests, locations, pages, content, development, meetings, or support require written approval and will be billed at the out-of-scope rate stated in the proposal or an approved change order before the additional work begins.
Limitation of Liability
We perform website and SEO work, but we cannot guarantee specific business results such as revenue, leads, traffic, indexing, or search rankings. Search engines, competitors, markets, and client-controlled business signals change over time.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Showcase Designs' total liability for any claim arising from our services is limited to the amount you paid us for the specific service in question. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost profits or business interruption.
Termination
One-time and custom projects: Cancellation, refunds, work-in-progress delivery, and final amounts due follow the accepted proposal and signed services agreement. You remain responsible for approved work performed and approved third-party costs incurred before termination.
Local Growth, Competitive Growth, and Market Leader: The Foundation Setup is a separate initial phase. After it is completed, the monthly retainer has an initial term of six consecutive months. A cancellation notice given during that initial term takes effect no earlier than the end of the initial term, and all six monthly payments remain due unless the signed services agreement expressly states otherwise.
After the initial retainer term: The service continues month to month. Either party may end it with 30 days' written notice, and fees remain due through the effective termination date.
Termination by us: We may pause or terminate an engagement for nonpayment, unlawful or abusive conduct, material breach, missing required access, or a working relationship that cannot reasonably continue. Any notice, cure period, and delivery obligations follow the signed services agreement.
Warranties & Disclaimers
We warrant that our work will be performed with professional skill and care. Beyond that, our services are provided "as is." We don't warrant that your website will be error-free at all times, or that SEO results will hit specific benchmarks.
Indemnification
You agree to hold us harmless from claims arising from content you provide, your use of the website, or any violation of these terms on your part. Similarly, we'll hold you harmless from claims arising from our negligence or breach of these terms.
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of Pima County, Arizona.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted here with a new date. For active clients, we'll notify you of material changes via email.
