provided and confirmed on by the customer. We do realize that what makes us different in this abundance of SEO consultants,
agencies and freelancers is keeping the customer up to date and involving him in the process of restructuring, optimizing and
getting actual results. All this is done through already set document templates that make it easy for the decision makers to
understand and take and educated decision that would be acted upon.

A part for reporting we will provide a certain level of transfer of knowledge, so the management stuff at Hurbania can have a good
understanding of the whole strategy and the actions taken and to be taken. For that reason we are aiming at 3 days for reporting,
discussions and changes (if found needed).
