One thing that sets my work apart is the charging of a flat, hourly fee. Another thing is the almost self-defeating lowness of this rate compared to the industry standard for an SEO with my level of experience (and including web design and AdWords under that same hourly rate umbrella). No start-up fees, no retainer fees, and no set contract is needed, because I don't like paying any of that myself. Right now, this method of payment makes my accounting and billing easy, which I like.
Hourly billing does come with a need for time estimates, and I will provide them to the best of my ability, but I feel my affordable rate should keep you from sweating too much if we go at all over that estimate. We can also agree on a definite cap to my hours by month, or almost any other flexible arrangement. If you'd like to talk about payment on a per-project basis, it is an option as well.

Going Green? Even with my rates as low as they are, if you're a company involved in something provenly positive for the world, I'll try my hardest to discount things a little further. Even if your company can't do anything major, helping your employees work from home, encouraging local commerce, or looking for some opportunity to be a little more responsible is something I admire and want to reward. I'd rather pass an actual healthy planet Earth to my kids than a series of blu-ray documentaries about the one we ruined. If you're making an effort like this, let me know!
