TIL a 'free' SEO audit from an agency cost me $2k in hidden fees
They quoted a flat rate but added charges for 'keyword research' and 'report generation' after the fact. Has anyone else gotten burned by hidden costs from a marketing firm?

My contract now lists every deliverable by line item.

Ugh, that's brutal. Always get the full scope in writing before you pay a cent. Next time, ask them to list every single task included in that "flat rate". Make them spell out what "report generation" means. Is it just a PDF? Or are they charging you extra to click export? Learned that the hard way.
