Red Wizard Digital - Freelance Paid Search Consultancy

Pricing/Rates

Depending on what the freelance job entails, I will either charge by the hour, a daily rate, or a monthly retainer or, if I am quoting for a specific project or piece of work, I will give you a price for the complete project. This will be made clear via email once I have discussed the job with you in detail.

Payment/Invoicing

If your job is charged by the hourly rate, and it is a small job not lasting more than three hours at a time, I will invoice you after the work is done.

For smaller complete projects, not lasting for more than 1-2 days, I will invoice you after the work is done. If I am working on a bigger project, I prefer to be paid in three instalments – 40% upfront, 40% when I send the first draft and the final 20% when I send over the finished report.

If I work with you on a regular basis, managing regular digital advertising, website updates or Social Media advertising, your job will be charged on an hourly rate, or via a retainer. I will invoice you on a monthly basis, on or near the first of the month, for the services rendered in the previous month. (EG the invoice sent on 1st August is for July’s hours)

Payment is to be made within 30 days of receipt of the invoice via bank details that I will provide via email. I cannot accept cheques or cash.

Late payment

Payment is to be made within 30 days of receipt of the invoice. If you do not agree to late payment on receipt of the invoice, due to unforeseen circumstances, there will be a charge for late payment.

If payment is made after 30 days and before 60 days, a standard charge of 25% will be added. If payment is made after 60 days, a standard charge of 50% on the original invoice will be the owed amount.

Single Point of Contact

Whether working on a small job or a larger project, I prefer to have a ‘single point of contact’. This means that I work with one person regarding feedback on work completed and any changes. All feedback and revision are to go through that one person.

Revisions and rewrites

For projects, revisions and rewrites may be needed to clarify points and issues. I will work with you upfront to find out as much as possible around what you want and need for the project.

I offer two free revisions of work completed and changes…any further revisions will be charged at my hourly rate.

Scope of the project

We will agree in writing via email the scope of the project and what is expected of me. If, during the course of the project, further things need to added in and more work is needed than first agreed, I reserve the right to adjust the rates of the project, should the scope change or amount of work increase significantly.

Copyrights

I own the copyright of anything I write for anyone until the final payment is made. You cannot use the work I do for you without my permission until the final payment is made. Once I receive full payment, the copyright belongs to you and you can do what you like with the work, however I retain the rights to utilise the work in a portfolio for future promotion, unless the information is sensitive or private.

Deadline

A deadline is necessary for all project work I undertake. Most of the time, after our discussion about the job or project, I can give a deadline for when the work can be completed. If the work is time sensitive, then I will endeavour to work to your deadline. Either way, this will be given to you in writing, via email, before work starts.

There will be a deadline for work to be completed, then further deadlines for any feedback, amendments, or approval.

Unforeseen or sudden termination of a project

If either party have to terminate a project, due to some mishap, illness or accident that makes it impossible to continue a project in progress or finish a smaller job, I will only bill you for hours done and will make provision for files concerning the project, along with plans to you, the client, so you can make arrangements to hire someone else.

Responsibility for Advertising Spend

When advertising on third-party platforms (EG Google & Linkedin) it is not possible to manage the Ad Spend in Real-Time. The platforms only estimate results and, as a result, I cannot be held accountable for mis-spend on these platforms. In the event of an overspend, I can recalculate the budget for subsequent months and projects, but will not replace spent funds.
