Welcome to LocalSEOAudit.tech. These Terms and Conditions govern your access to and use of this website and the SEO services offered through it.

By accessing this website, submitting an enquiry, or purchasing a service, you agree to these terms. Please read them carefully before proceeding.

2. Scope of Services

The specific services, deliverables, timelines, and pricing will be agreed upon with each client before work begins.

Any proposal, quotation, or invoice may define the agreed project scope.

Additional work outside the agreed scope may require a separate quotation and additional payment.

3. SEO Results and No Ranking Guarantees

SEO is an ongoing process influenced by various factors, including search engine algorithms, competition, website quality, technical performance, and market conditions.

I use research-based and ethical SEO practices. However:

  • No specific Google ranking or position is guaranteed.
  • No particular amount of organic traffic, leads, or sales is guaranteed.
  • Search engine updates may affect website visibility and rankings.
  • Previously achieved rankings may change over time.

Any estimates, projections, or examples shared are for informational purposes and should not be interpreted as guaranteed results.

4. Pricing and Payments

All service prices will be communicated to clients before work begins.

Payment arrangements may include:

  • One-time project payments.
  • Advance payments for SEO audits and agreed projects.
  • Monthly payments for ongoing SEO services.
  • Milestone-based payments where agreed.

Invoices are issued directly to clients. Accepted payment methods may include Payoneer and international SWIFT bank transfers, subject to availability and eligibility.

Clients are responsible for any applicable bank charges, intermediary fees, or payment processing fees unless otherwise agreed.

Work may begin once the agreed initial payment has been received and confirmed.

5. Project Timelines and Delivery

Project timelines will be communicated before work begins.

Delivery dates may depend on:

  • Client response times.
  • Access to required website or business accounts.
  • Availability of third-party websites and platforms.
  • Website technical conditions.
  • Other circumstances outside my reasonable control.

If delays occur, clients will be informed where reasonably possible.

6. Client Responsibilities

Clients agree to provide accurate information and any necessary access required to complete the agreed services.

This may include:

  • Website access.
  • Google Business Profile access.
  • Google Search Console access.
  • Business information and NAP details.
  • Relevant content, images, and branding materials.
  • Approval of proposed changes when required.

Clients are responsible for ensuring that information and materials supplied to me are accurate and that they have permission to use them.

7. Third-Party Platforms and Search Engines

SEO services may involve third-party platforms, directories, websites, and search engines, including Google.

These platforms operate independently and may change their policies, algorithms, requirements, or services at any time.

I am not responsible for third-party decisions, platform suspensions, rejected listings, removed backlinks, algorithm updates, or other changes outside my control.

8. Ethical SEO Practices

I aim to provide SEO services using research-based and responsible practices.

However, clients should understand that SEO strategies may involve third-party websites and external publishers whose decisions and policies I cannot control.

I do not knowingly promise guaranteed rankings, guaranteed indexing, or guaranteed traffic.

9. Cancellations and Refunds

Cancellation and refund arrangements will depend on the agreed project scope, work completed, and payments already made.

  • Work that has not started may be eligible for cancellation and a refund, subject to any agreed terms and applicable fees.
  • Completed work is generally non-refundable.
  • Work already performed, delivered, or involving non-refundable third-party costs may not be eligible for a refund.
  • For ongoing monthly services, cancellation requests should be submitted before the next billing period.

Any specific refund or cancellation terms agreed in writing with a client will take precedence where applicable.

10. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, clients receive the agreed deliverables after the required payment has been completed.

Clients retain ownership of materials they provide.

Third-party content, tools, platforms, and resources remain subject to their respective owners’ intellectual property rights and licensing terms.

I retain ownership of my pre-existing methods, processes, templates, and general professional knowledge.

11. Confidentiality

Client information, business details, login credentials, and project-related information will be treated as confidential.

I will not knowingly disclose confidential client information to unauthorized parties.

Clients should avoid sharing unnecessary sensitive information and should provide account access through secure, appropriate methods whenever possible.

12. Portfolio and Testimonials

Client projects, business names, screenshots, performance data, and testimonials will only be published where appropriate permission has been obtained or where the information is otherwise lawfully available for use.

Feedback from previous freelance projects, including Upwork projects, will be represented honestly and will not be presented as reviews of LocalSEOAudit.tech unless they genuinely relate to this website.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, I am not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses, including lost profits, lost business opportunities, or changes in search engine rankings resulting from circumstances outside my reasonable control.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.
