SEO before it's time, and in addition to that, have you heard of a "hold harmless agreement" ? I learned that in Contract Law back in the late 60's. I may [in the end] decide this project is more then I want to contend with, but for right now it sounds very interesting. I plan to practice on my own web sites. Once I get them where I think they should be then I may decide to branch out.
