5. SEO Services — Important Disclosures

No Guarantee of Rankings

While we employ proven SEO strategies and have an excellent track record, no SEO agency can guarantee specific search engine rankings. Search engine algorithms are proprietary and subject to change without notice. We commit to applying best practices and our full expertise, but cannot guarantee specific ranking positions or traffic levels.

Results Timeline

SEO is a long-term strategy. Meaningful results typically require 3–6 months of consistent effort. Results vary based on competition, starting point, industry, and other factors outside our control.

Client Responsibilities

Effective SEO requires collaboration. Clients are responsible for providing accurate business information, timely feedback on deliverables, and implementing recommended website changes. Delays in client-side implementation may affect results timelines.

6. Payment Terms

Payment terms, fees, and billing schedules are specified in individual service agreements. All fees are due as specified in the applicable agreement. Late payments may result in service suspension. All fees are non-refundable unless otherwise specified in writing.
