The Problem

Most SEO proposals are written to be signed, not understood.

Jargon-heavy strategy decks, vague deliverables, and pricing that’s hard to benchmark. Most business owners have no reliable way to tell a strong SEO proposal from a weak one until months in.

You’ve been sent a proposal.

It sounds credible.

You have no way to check.

    Who It’s For

    Built for anyone about to sign, not already regretting it.

    Founders & Business Owners

    About to commit real budget to an SEO agency, and want a second, independent opinion before signing.

    Marketing Decision-Makers

    Comparing two or three agency proposals and need an objective way to tell them apart.

    In-House Teams

    Reviewing a renewal or a new statement of work, and want an outside check before recommending it upward.

    BYI Confidence Score™

    One score. Six pillars. Complete clarity.

    Every proposal we review is scored independently across six pillars, so you can see exactly where it’s strong, and where it isn’t.

    Transparency

    Are pricing, deliverables, and reporting spelled out clearly, with nothing left to interpretation?

    Communication

    Plain English, or jargon designed to sound more impressive than it is?

    Strategy

    Is the proposed approach specific to your business, or a generic template dressed up as a plan?

    Technical Approach

    Is there evidence of a real technical audit, or just assumptions about your site?

    Commercial

    Do the numbers stack up? Is the cost proportionate to the scope and likely return?

    Value for Money

    Would a reasonable business owner feel this price matches what’s being delivered?

    Understanding Your Score

    What each verdict means.

    Proceed

    The proposal holds up. Sign with confidence.

    Proceed with Conditions

    Sound overall, but a few points are worth renegotiating first.

    Caution

    Real gaps exist. Address them before committing budget.

    Do Not Proceed

    We wouldn’t recommend signing this as it stands.

    Why Before You Invest

    Human-led decision making with real experience.

    Independent

    We don’t sell SEO services. Nothing we say is shaped by what we’d like to sell you next.

    Evidence-led

    Every point in your Decision Pack is backed by something we can point to, not a gut feeling.

    Commercial

    We care whether you’ll actually get value for the money, not just whether the strategy sounds good.

    Plain English

    No jargon, no acronyms you have to look up. If we can’t explain it simply, we don’t include it.

    Honest

    Sometimes the right advice is: don’t sign this proposal, or don’t hire anyone at all.

    FAQ

    Questions before you submit.

    No. You submit your proposal(s) first. We confirm the scope and send a secure payment link only after we’ve reviewed what you’ve sent, so you’ll know exactly what’s covered before you pay anything.

    Yes. Your proposal is used only to produce your Decision Pack and is not shared with any third party, including the agency who sent it.

    That’s fine. The £395 review covers up to two proposals, but works just as well for a single one.

    Once payment is confirmed, your Decision Pack is delivered within 5 working days.

    Yes. An optional 30-minute follow-up call is included, so you can talk through the verdict before deciding anything.

    Ready to know if that proposal is actually worth signing?

    No payment required yet. We’ll review your submission, confirm the scope, and send a secure payment link before any work begins.
