Why Choose Payment Nerds for SEO Payment Processing?

SEO and SEM companies often get labeled high risk because services are intangible, results are subjective, and billing is usually recurring. That mix leads many processors to freeze accounts at the first hint of disputes. We build merchant accounts for SEO companies that are underwritten for retainers, project swings, and cross-border buyers, with practical chargeback tools that keep ratios within network thresholds.

Most importantly, you won’t be fighting your processor to get paid. We support common agency workflows, like month-end retainer pulls, milestone invoices with deposits, and usage-based add-ons for media management. If you work internationally, multi-currency pricing and local payment methods help clients pay faster while lowering friction at checkout. Our approach is simple. Keep approval rates high, keep fees predictable, and keep funds moving on time.

When you need answers, you get real people. From onboarding to statement reviews, our team tunes settings that impact cash flow, like smart retries, 3-D Secure when it helps, and alerts that catch issues before they become chargebacks. This is what it looks like when a processor works for you, not against you.
