How many free starts can I have, and how does the 10% returning-client discount work?

One free start per website, up to 2 per account, each for a different website. After both, every order is 10% off automatically, no code.

You can have up to 2 free starts, each for a different website, and each website can have only one. Once you have used both, every order you place is 10% off, taken off the total automatically, with no code to type.

Two rules: one per website, up to 2 per account

  • One per website, ever. We look at the root of the address, so www.yourbrand.com, yourbrand.com and shop.yourbrand.com count as one website.
  • Up to 2 per account. A third claim is refused, even for a website that has never had a free start.

On wannaseo.com/free the form carries the note "Up to 2 free starts per account, each for a different website." On our offer pages the line under the button reads "One per website, up to 2 per account."

How we recognise you

We count your free starts by account and by email address:

  • The email address you type. Capital letters, "+tags" and the dots in a Gmail address do not make a new address: Jo@yourbrand.com, jo@yourbrand.com and jo+free@yourbrand.com count as one person, and so do jo.smith@gmail.com and josmith@gmail.com (example addresses).
  • Your WannaSEO account, when you are signed in: its email address once you have confirmed it, the free starts you claim while signed in, and any free-start orders in it.

A claim that matches any of these counts once.

Unconfirmed claims hold a place for 48 hours

A claim you have not confirmed yet holds its website, and one of your two places, for 48 hours. If you try another claim while you already have two, the form says "You already have 2 free starts." and reminds you that the confirmation link is in your inbox. An unconfirmed claim is released after 48 hours, and it then stops counting.

After your two free starts: 10% off every order

When both free starts are confirmed (you clicked the link in both emails), every order you place is 10% off, on every product and pack. If you try a third claim, the form says "You have used your 2 free starts.", and its Choose an order button takes you to the prices.

Claims you have not confirmed do not unlock the discount.

How the discount is applied

  1. Order with the same email address you used for your free starts, or while signed in to your account. If the order form does not recognise you yet, step 3 reminds you: "Used your free starts? Order with the email you used for them and your 10% returning-client discount comes off at checkout."
  2. When the form recognises you (you are signed in, or you are on a browser where you clicked one of your confirmation links), the total already shows the lower price, with the line "Includes your 10% loyalty discount". On that browser, type your email address yourself: we never fill it in for you.
  3. Otherwise the discount is worked out when you press Review & pay, and the next page shows it before you pay.
  4. The confirmation page, your "We received your order" email and the order page in your account show it as "Discount Loyalty 10%", with the amount taken off.

There is no code to type, and you still see the exact total before you pay.

What changes on the site for you

Once both free starts are confirmed, and you are signed in or on a browser where you clicked one of your confirmation links:

  • the free-start buttons, such as "Start free", become the 10% offer, for example "10% off every order" (in the header, "10% off orders"), and take you to the prices or to that page's order form
  • wannaseo.com/free shows a "Your 10% off every order" panel above the form
  • the offer pages show the same panel in place of the claim form

Questions

How do I see how many free starts I have left?
To see how many you have left, open Services at the top of any page: the last line says "Try it free", "Your next free start: 1 of 2 left" or "You have used your 2 free starts". After your first free start, the main button at the top becomes Order now, and /free still takes your second website.

Does it combine with LAUNCH10 or another code?
No, discounts never combine. If you also use a code, your order gets whichever saves more: the 10% or the code. On a tie the 10% applies, and your code is not used up. When the form recognises you, the one-click LAUNCH10 offer does not appear, because your 10% already saves as much. If a code you type cannot be used (LAUNCH10, for example, is for a first order only), the code is dropped and your 10% applies, so the order still goes through.

Does it expire?
No end date is set. It applies to every order you place with that email address or account.

Does it work on packs and bundles?
Yes: on every product and pack, including article and page packs, bundles and the dedicated blog's first year.

I have two websites but only one free start so far. Can I still claim?
Yes. A different website can claim its own free start, up to your 2.
