SEO Proposal for Percentage Agreement:
I am looking to work exclusively with a SEO group on my existing e-commerce web site, www.swimsale.com. The site has a PR 3 and been online for 10+ years. I have a unique offer and opportunity to grow together; by offering to pay you a percentage of sales. I would be responsible for posting all products/maintaining site. Your group would be responsible for all SEO.
I will only consider companies that have a team of SEO experts that can offer our site the proper attention to take us to the top in our industry of selling women’s swimwear. We are looking for a leading SEO firm that has great history, a strong client base, and references and is a leader in the SEO industry. We want to work with the best SEO group to build a long term relationship; who will deliver results. We are prepared and want to take our online business to much higher levels.
After giving this great thought and consideration, I would to offer the following so that both parties feel comfortable and try to establish a long term relationship. I want both parties to be able to feel comfortable and build together. I truly care about making both sides happy; as this can be a great win-win …I want proper white hat SEO techniques and huge results & to be protected if for any reason the SEO being brought back doesn’t live up to my expectations. …And I know that you want to feel secure knowing that the SEO work you do for me brings you proper payments. I can very much appreciate both sides of this relationship; as I want a long term strong working relationship.
I realize there are many pros and cons of this type of relationship for a SEO professional and I want to avoid any chance of problems/cons for you and me. We are very reputable and I want to eliminate all cons with my below offer. I want to know that you will do everything you can to get us keyword listings on top of Google, Yahoo, MSN; etc and all the other techniques you have to bring us traffic and sales…and I want you to feel comfortable knowing that I will offer you full access to our backend; including you being able to have full access to all payments; via a payment gateway, Authorize.net. This way you will know that all orders are all being processed and that no numbers are be “fudged.”
After much consideration and wanting to offer a ‘fair’ solution for both of us and a ‘fair’ percentage to you; I am offering 4% of Net Sales. I will offer 4% of net sales with an incentive to achieve higher sales; as I realize that offering 4% and bonus incentives will help me get you to want to get higher sales and we’ll both end up happier with better results. All SEO content is controlled by you. If for any reason you aren’t happy and want to stop…it will be easy for you to stop. This way we are both protected. As long as sales and white-hat practices are coming in on the site, I will always want to continue.
-All payments made to you will occur monthly.
More Payment Details:
- Your Percentage would be based on Net Sales (Sales minus Returns = Net Sales)…
…Example: Month of July Sales $200,000, customer returns of $40,000 = Net Sales of $160,000. You would receive $6400 for month of July (4% of $160,000).
The below pricing structure is for one full fiscal year (that can be decided between us):

History of my business:
Cameo Water Wear, Inc
We have been in business for over 60 years; under the same ownership for the past 20+ years. We have 8 brick and mortar stores throughout Philadelphia, PA and South New Jersey. You can view all our locations and see pictures of our stores at www.cameowaterwear.com. We sell better womens swimwear and weekend wear (average price point for a swimsuit is $120.) We are very well known and reputable throughout the area; just winning ‘Best of Philly’ again from Philadelphia Magazine (has largest magazine circulation in Philadelphia area). We have been trying to achieve results on the web for many years and getting sub-par results from the level of SEO that we have out into the site; but we are ready to take this to new levels. I would like to see our web business do better than our brick and mortar stores. We have the buying power to get the merchandise to grow…we have the staff to fill orders and ship…now we just need the right SEO group to grow with together.!!!
I look forward to hearing back from you and hope to grow a strong working relationship.
