GuestFebruary 17, 2026 at 5:37 amWait.
Make sure you are admin in all your accounts. Remove them from all. make sure you do it at night and they dont have access to any of your accounts.
THEN you send them a termination email. Dont ask for anything they wont pay back. Maybe do a chargeback of your last payment maybe you van at least get that. They will cry and will give us 1 more week we will do this and that. Ignore and block.
A job well done will put you in the first place in google and you will SEE the analitycs going up and more leads or calls. Most agencies are fake like this, oursourced 99% in asia.
Dont feel bad most ppl fall for this.

This is what frustrates me about this industry. Yes this should have been done in the first month or two based on budget

GuestFebruary 17, 2026 at 6:04 amThe schema doesn’t really make a difference, so you don’t need to worry about that. But producing only 10 landing pages in 10 months is simply not acceptable. These are core pages you should already have. If I were you, I’d consider switching agencies.

GuestFebruary 17, 2026 at 6:04 amHow much are you paying for “30 hours a week”? Sounds like they haven’t spend 30 hours on it

GuestFebruary 17, 2026 at 6:28 am30 hours a week is a heavy load. If a client wanted that much time devoted (and assuming I wanted to commit resources and have lopsided revenue), they’d have to invest $25k/mo.
But to your point, the heavy lifting would be knocked out in the first month or two then it would transition to management and refinement and 25% of the spend and time commitment. 30 hours a week is basically 1 FTE for the client. $25k/mo is a team for the agency.
