If you need us to optimize the five hidden pages after you publish them, we will charge an additional fee for the additional work.

We can email website content and images to a former client before their website (desktop and mobile) is deactivated, if they request it via email before their website is deleted from our server. We reserve the right to transfer the inactive website to another domain and customize it for re-use.

This is not applicable to Wix or WordPress clients who purchased their websites upfront or who owned their websites prior to signing up for our digital marketing or seo services. For clients who own their websites, the à la carte service will discontinue, but your website will remain active after you cancel your seo, digital marketing, social media marketing or maintenance plans.
