SEO Definitions, Guarantee & Refund
SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, involves optimizing website content to improve rankings on search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

SEO Guarantee:
The Service Provider’s SEO efforts focus on optimizing websites ethically and using legitimate methods for improved rankings.

SEO Commitment & Performance Refunds:
Contracts typically run for at least 6 months with automatic renewal, transitioning to a month-to-month basis thereafter unless canceled. Refunds are not provided before 6 months due to the time organic optimization takes to show results.

Client responsibility includes preserving optimized content during website updates to avoid re-installation charges. Positioning in local map searches like Google, Yahoo, or Bing Local maps is not guaranteed under the SEO service, which focuses on website optimization and keyword rankings.
