I was analysing your website and it seems that your website rankings have dropped on Google. It is due to non-optimised techniques / errors and Google guidelines not being met.
To show that we are different and that we are, we can influence your rankings we will not charge for the SEO until we rank 1 of your key phrases on page 1 of Google. No, you are not going to make a fortune from 1 key phrase but you will know that we are not taking your money and pretending to work - like a lot of our competitors.If we do not rank you on the first page of Google in 90 days, you can exit the agreement.
Please let me know if you are interested in improving your website’s ranking on Google.
