To wit:
I had a tooth implant and a bridge done recently.... The whole deal was about 5,000 but there were about 8 differnt appointments and each was paid for separately.
I have another example of a house building in my reply above.
My main business is a movie production, in my opinion even more complex then any SEO. And indeed, all agree to the budget but it is paid out on goals achieved (usually /week)....Not all indvance, and trust me , the movie business is even more crooked then SEO business.
So, I am NOT looking for a free ride. I will pay, and pay well to the party which is able to define and agree with specific goals and sticks to them...My site recently re built by GFY member was done excatly like that...so why not SEO??? What is soooo mysterious about it?

Except in your example there is no third party (google) involved where you have zero control over. I think you forget that Google SEO is a guessing game for everybody and since they keep changing (adjusting) their algorithms it's hard too predict the outcome. That is why no (legit) SEO services can guarantee an outcome or first place ranking (or even first page ranking). All that they can do is push you in the right direction with advice. And even if you want to focus on a certain keyword, google might not even pick that up. It isn't up to you nor the seo company what google ranks you for.
