      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.

                Buy this book. It covers what you are looking for. This book was written by Danny Dover, the former Lead SEO for SEOMOZ.

                  Is an iframe redirect on the same Domain bad for SEO

                  Good morning. We have a vendor that has created a landing page with content  that we want to use.  Because of the way we built the site, the only way to use the content is to create an i-frame.  The i-frame is re-directingon the same Domain.  Would we benefit from the SEO Content?

                  Gallery maintenance and the effect on SEO

                  Basically we get a lot of users uploading photos as part of their review, but many photos aren't moderated into our pages and therefore are never displayed. Things like selfies rather than photos of the product or just random google images that are completely unrelated to our products or services. Is there any benefit in cleaning up the gallery since some images we don't use are just sat there in admin?
                  when a page loads, would it be quicker if we had less content in the gallery? With our SEO hat on.
                  or does it not matter since it's not loading that content (photos) anyway?

                  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?

                  Are backlinks the most important factor in SEO?

                  I have had an agency state that "Backlinks are the most important factor in SEO". That is how they are justifying their strategy of approaching bloggers. I believe there are a lot more factors than that including Target Market definition, Keyword identification an build content based on these factors. What's everyone's thoughts?

                  Web fonts & SEO

                  Hi everyone ! My question is regarding web fonts. We are currently working on a new design for our website and we're thinking about using web fonts instead of images containing the fonts we'd like to have. I'd like to know if web fonts can affect SEO as they need to be downloaded on the visitor's computers and consequently can slow down the load time of our web pages. If anyone has used web fonts in the past, do you have some specific tips to share ? Thank you in advance for your answers! Jeremie

                  Iframe redirect bad for SEO?

                  Hi, I have a website (http://www.blowingminds.de) wich I put a spreadshirt shop into via iframe. The thing is I am not sure on how the iframe effects my SEO? Can I just optimise the main domain for search? Well I want the spreadshirt shop to be found under the domain name (www.blowingminds.de) but the only real way to do it is by implementing an iframe because each spreadshirt shop has its own subdomain eg.: blowingminds.spreadshirt.de but the only real way to do it is via iframe, as they do not offer a complete domain redirect. (Or have I overseen some other way?) I hope you guys can help me on this one 🙂 Thanks in advance. Malte
