All-in-one marketing contract or a website you own: what to check before you sign

Three clauses decide whether a marketing package is a good deal: ownership, renewal and reporting.

Side by side

What should you check before signing a marketing contract?

An all-in-one marketing package can be a good deal if you want one company to run ads, listings and your website, and you are comfortable with a yearly contract. Before you sign, get three things in writing: who owns the website and the domain if you cancel, how the contract renews, and what is reported each month. At Dizayn the answers are: you own everything, plans are month to month, and you get a monthly count of quote requests.

FAQ

Questions about contracts and ownership

Who owns my website if I cancel a marketing contract?

It depends on the contract. Some providers license the site to you only while you pay, so read the ownership and cancellation clauses before signing and ask for the answer in writing. With Dizayn the domain, code, content and accounts are in your name from day one.

Does Dizayn run Google Ads or manage reviews?

No. Dizayn does three things: web design, SEO and AI search optimization, in English and Spanish. If you need paid ads or a review tool managed for you, an all-in-one provider or a specialist is a better fit for that part.

Is there a minimum contract with Dizayn?

No. Websites are paid once, in 3 parts. Monthly plans are month to month.
