No payment is required. Requesting a Snapshot does not purchase an audit, authorize repairs or start a monthly plan.
CLEAR TERMS BEFORE WORK BEGINS
Payment options and straightforward terms.
Your written quote and service agreement identify the selected work, payment schedule and any optional monthly charge before you approve the project.
What is paid upfront?
Paid audits
Paid audits are prepaid in full after you approve the audit scope and before the review begins. The invoice shows the selected audit, any approved discount and the amount due.
Eligible audit credit uses the amount actually paid. When you enter a separately approved corrective-service agreement within 30 days, that amount is credited toward one-time implementation charges. Recurring fees, provider costs and cash refunds are excluded.
Other one-time services
Listing repairs, landing pages, domain assistance, previews, project entries and custom integrations follow the payment schedule in the accepted quote. Any required prepayment is identified before work begins.
Website payments follow project milestones.
The normal website-build schedule is shown below. Your accepted Order Form states the actual milestones and amounts.
To begin
The starting payment authorizes the approved website project and initial work.
At the approved checkpoint
The second milestone follows the agreed design and content approval.
Before launch or handoff
The final milestone is due before production launch or handoff, as stated in the agreement.
Website Launch & Infrastructure Setup and domain assistance are separate charges unless expressly included in the quote. Customer-owned registrar, hosting, email and other provider charges are disclosed separately. The milestone schedule is a project payment schedule, not a financing plan.
Monthly monitoring and care are optional and billed separately.
A website purchase does not automatically enroll you in monthly monitoring or care. If you select a plan, your quote identifies its scope, monthly price, start date and billing date separately from the one-time project.
Examples include Website Care at $99/month, Growth Care at $199/month, and standalone tracking at $149/month for one location. Local-presence plans have their own scope and pricing. A combined quote identifies overlap and the total monthly charge; applicable tracking within Guided Care or Managed Local Presence replaces the standalone tracking charge.
Recurring services renew monthly. Unless a different term is expressly agreed in your Order Form, cancellation requires 30 days’ written notice to bill@benchmarklocalboost.com. Automatic recurring charges require your authorization. Ending optional care does not transfer ownership of your customer-owned website, domain or accounts.
Compare monthly service scopes →Pay through your secure invoice link.
After scope approval, Benchmark provides an invoice or payment link for the agreed amount. Stripe supports Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover credit and debit cards for our US account. Other eligible methods may appear on the payment page; use the options shown on your invoice.
ACH bank payments are pending availability. ACH is not currently enabled for Benchmark’s live payment configuration. When available, it will be identified on the invoice; bank verification and payment confirmation can take additional business days.
Enter payment information only on the secure payment page. Do not email card or bank-account details. Contact Benchmark if an invoice amount, payment link or billing entry needs review.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
15% off audits and services for military business owners.
Active-duty military, veterans, National Guard and Reserve members who own a business receive 15% off Benchmark audits and services. This includes website builds, landing pages, corrective work, setup services, project-content services and optional monthly monitoring or care.
Mention your military business-owner eligibility when requesting your quote so we can confirm it and show the discount before payment. The discount applies to Benchmark service charges; third-party provider charges, pass-through costs and applicable taxes remain separate. Existing signed agreements are not changed automatically.
Examples: a $149 audit becomes $126.65; a $99 audit becomes $84.15; a $99 monthly care plan becomes $84.15/month. A later eligible audit credit is based on the discounted amount actually paid.
Request a quote with the military discount →Your approved agreement controls the details.
The quote identifies due dates, scope, milestones, applicable taxes, discounts and any selected recurring service. Setup fees are non-refundable once work begins. Other cancellation or refund terms follow your accepted agreement; contact Benchmark before changing or cancelling an approved project.
