Because SEO is a build-time engineering decision. URL structure, internal linking, structured data, schema markup, Core Web Vitals, and content architecture are all set during the development and deployment phase. 

BrightEdge research shows that organic search drives 53 percent of all trackable website traffic. A product that ships without this foundation in place forfeits most of that traffic, and retrofitting it later costs as much again as the original build.

Yes, if the project is straightforward and budget is a real constraint. Several agencies in Ibadan, Port Harcourt, Enugu, and Kano deliver competent work at 15 to 25 percent below Lagos-equivalent pricing.

Ask before you sign. Request the source code assignment clause from their standard contract. Under Section 30(3) of the Nigerian Copyright Act 2022, copyright in software only transfers to the buyer if the assignment is made in writing.
