Check out Quote Roller’s SEO proposal template here http://www.quoteroller.com/proposal-templates/seo-proposal-template/
And I suggest you to give Quote Roller (www.quoteroller.com) a try – it has 14 day free trial and actually is really nice tool for sending and tracking business proposals

As Francisco says, Danny Dover's book is a great resource. However, even though it contains two detailed example SEO audit reports, it doesn't contain an example SEO proposal. Neil Patel has a useful Feb 2013 post about what to put in a great SEO proposal here:

There must be a tool which could provide an overall layout and structure for the SEO proposal. Seomoz doesn't have one. It is there in Raven. Do let me know if found anything. Thanks

I think is worth it to develop the proposal in a custom manner for each client based on his needs, KPIs, current status and so on.
We usually touch the bellow point in each proposal:
-
general status of the domain and general guidelines on what can be improved
-
on page optimisation improvments (from url structure, code, ux, nine relining, meta tags and content
-
link profile analysis, improvement channels
-
social media in correlation with SEO.
depending on the client and status of the proposal (initial, strategy etc) you can get into details with all or some of the points.
Hope it helps.

Lightboxes and SEO
Do lightboxes (AKA popup boxes when you click "learn more" type CTAs) have any negative effect on SEO? We are looking at revamping our sites to have more of a tiled approach, and a lightbox with summary content popping out with additional CTAs, directing to pages with more information or free trial pages. Is there any downside to this approach from an organic perspective? is there anything specific to keep in mind when creating these if not?

SEO for multiple languages [Arabic]
Hello all, I am currently managing a Marketplace that comes in two different languages: English & Arabic. The English website is, fortunately, doing quite well in terms of SEO performances but, not the Arabic one. The website has two kinds of content: Static content: controlled by me. It includes menu items, navigation, static pages etc which is properly translated among the two languages User-uploaded content: It includes ads/news posted by the user which may not be translated to Arabic if they chose not to do it. Now if somebody goes to the Arabic website and check a news item that doesn't have an Arabic translation, it will show the English title. I am assuming, serving content in a different language that is specified in the hreflang is a straight no, right?

Onsite SEO vs Offsite SEO
Hey I know the importance of both onsite & offsite, primarily with regard to outreach/content/social. One thing I am trying to determine at the moment, is how much do I invest in offsite. My current focus is to improve our onpage content on product pages, which is taking some time as we have a small team. But I also know our backlinks need to improve. I'm just struggling on where to spend my time. Finish the onsite stuff by section first, or try to do a bit of both onsite/offsite at the same time?

Yoast seo title question
I was referred to this plugin and have found it to be the most irritating and poorly designed plugin in the world. I want to be able to set my titles without it changing my page headers as well. For instance - If I set my title to be "This is my article name | site name" it will make my H1 tag read the same. I do not want or desire this nonsense. Why would they think this is something wise? Why would I want my site name on every single H1 tag on my site? How can I fix this? I only want my title to be my title. I want my H1 tag to remain the post/page name that I define in wordpress.
