Your payment for the results of SEO is by continuing the contract. If you feel the SEO provider didn't do the actionables they said they would, then you can chargeback or whatever, but given rankings take time, expecting an SEO to put in a month or more work for free on the hope that you'll pay them when they bring you results will - like I said - lead you to using people that won't bring you results and will more than likely fuck up your rankings instead because they don't know what they're doing.
