How to convince clients about hosting ORM platform on external domain?

Hi folks

some months from now I started to get my firsts SEO clients; by default in my services "brochure" I offer ORM too.

Now I'm maybe stepping into some big ORM contract and I'm preparing about all the uncomfortable questions could pop up when discussing in details about my solution with the client.

I feel confident at most, rieview funnel is very good looking and well coded; but I think I'm not prepared as I should be on a pair of aspects:

1 - How to convince the client 100% that hosting the solution/platform (aka review funnel) on an external domain is the right choice and he should not implement in their site (which I don't manage, so in this case there would be a good chance to get ousted from the games)

2- How to justify the X.xxx$ /mo for a review funnel in case they don't want the full package (proactive monitoring of reviews, daily cleanup..)

This is a huge client which is developing a great number of franchise and this X.xxx$ can become 5 figures/mo as well so I can't say no if they are not interested in the full package and MUST accept their preferences to start make business with them and eventually raise after some time.

I would like some hint from navigated ORM providers here as @BHopkins , @originalposter , @BassTrackerBoats

Thank you very much

5 figures doesn't sound like a lot of money for the client profile you described.

1. Hosting the content outside the client's web properties - this could be very easy to convey. Emphasize on maintaining neutrality, trust building etc. Plus if any of your linkbuilding or marketing strategies backfires, the client is safe. Put it across in a nicer way.
The problem - Do you have web properties that live upto the expectations of the client? I suggest a PBN kind of setup that looks quality. Clients mostly don't care about technical aspects of a site. For them, it should look good and the domain must be good.
I suggest either build some or buy from the marketplace or Flippa.

2. For a client with several franchisees and shit, you are talking about hundreds of mansweat hours. Plus recruiting cyber soldiers from Phillippines, taking heat from FB and G, setting up alerts, getting up in the middle of your sleep, losing appetite and a lot more. I don't see a problem in quoting the price you think is right.
