5. Negotiation and finalization

• If you did the due diligence as described above,
  you would reach the stage where you need to
  finalize the contract terms in order to get
  started.
• If the price is not finalized yet, politely ask
  if there is any discount available. Do not,
  however, make discount the only priority when
  finalizing the best SEO agency in Singapore
• Understand the minimum locking period for the SEO
  campaign and make sure that its not too long.
  3-4 months of a locking period is most ideal as
  SEO can take 12-14 weeks before you started
  feeling any difference in results

expected results

  started, remember that its not an end of your
  job. Hiring SEO agency in Singapore is similar to
