Contract Review for Marketing & SEO Agencies
Scope protection for growing agencies. We identify 'all-in' service traps and vague performance guarantees.
Common Agency Owner Risks
Scope Creep
Definitions of 'ongoing maintenance' that include new feature development by default.
Performance Guarantees
Guarantees of 'Top 3 Rankings' or 'Lead Volume' that don't account for external algorithm changes.
Auto-Renewal
Contracts that renew for a full year without a'Notice to Terminate' window.
The Bottom Line
“Scaling an agency is hard enough without legal surprises. ClearTerm gives your account managers a consistent framework to evaluate every new Master Service Agreement (MSA).”
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I handle auto-renewals?
Always require a 30-day notice. ClearTerm flags if you're locked into a year without a way out.
Is it safe to guarantee leads?
No. You should guarantee 'best efforts' on a defined scope. We highlight where you're over-promising.
