4. Paid Engagements

Any paid consulting engagement, service retainer, or project engagement is governed exclusively by a separate, signed Scope of Work (SOW) agreed between you and me.

You may share individual articles or resources with attribution to John Akande and a link to the original source.

All testimonials and case studies featured on this site are real and represent the experiences of actual clients. Individual results vary based on market, starting position, budget, engagement scope, and effort. No specific rankings, traffic volume, or revenue outcome is guaranteed.
