Sean: Next question would be, what should be the important details included on your client contracts that are often overlooked by most companies?

All right. In SEO Hacker, we have to make sure that the payment terms are there and what the penalties are if the clients pay late. What would be the goal of the contract? Of course, first page rankings. One of the most important things as well now, during the pandemic, we added the no piracy clause, because we have found out that some of our past clients are trying to pirate people from our team. I thank God for those people who turned down those ridiculous offers by the way, ridiculous amounts of money, but they turned it down.

It's about how you treat people. It's about the culture. The culture will keep your business from breaking down because you get to keep people who are like you, who like to work with you, who love your company culture, because you were intentional enough to build it that way. Also you have to put in the breakdown of your services, the acknowledgement. What’s that called? Notary. The notary. The notary is important because if it isn’t notarized, it’s not binding with the law and you can use that for litigation. So those are some of the important things that you have to put in your contract.

JM: Just make sure that you both have your signature on it.

Sean: That’s right. Yeah. A contract is useless without a signature. And there may be some people who are wondering, why do we need a contract if we know each other and you know, we trust each other? I just want you to know that not having a contract will make things a lot messier someday when there's a breach of your verbal agreement or there's a breach of your supposed agreement. It makes it a lot messier and sometimes would break the relationship. So do what you need to have a contract that's good and binding and both of you agree with, and that is to protect your relationship. Humans cannot operate just on trust value now. Sadly. If we could, there would be no need for contracts. But not everyone has the integrity of Christ.
