The Rules of Engagement
Effective date: May 18, 2026.
You landed on localseoauditservice.com because your Google Business Profile is stuck. You want better map pack visibility. We provide the diagnostics to get you there. These terms outline the legal reality of our relationship. Read them. We wrote them in plain English because hiding behind dense legal jargon wastes time.
When you use this website, read our guides, or purchase our audit services, you agree to these terms. If you reject them, leave the site.
Our Services and Your Expectations
We diagnose local search failures. We analyze NAP consistency across 50 plus directories. We audit your GBP Q&A section, review velocity, and proximity signals. We hand you a high-resolution map of your digital blind spots.
We do not guarantee rankings.
No legitimate local SEO agency guarantees a specific position in the Google map pack. The algorithm shifts constantly. Competitors adapt. Proximity dictates visibility. We provide expert analysis based on years of untangling suspended profiles and buried listings. We give you the exact steps to fix your foundation. You take the action.
If your rankings drop after implementing a change, that is the nature of search volatility. Google tests new data. We are not responsible for lost revenue, suspended profiles, or algorithmic penalties. You own your business. You own the risk.
Purchasing Audits and Payment Terms
When you buy a local SEO audit, you pay upfront. We require specific access to your Google Business Profile to do our job. You must grant us Manager access. Do not give us Primary Owner access. We do not want it.
If you fail to provide the necessary access within 14 days of purchase, we pause the project. We do not offer refunds for delays caused by your inability to share credentials.
Once we deliver the audit document, the sale is final. We put hours of manual labor into analyzing your citation profile and competitor metrics. You cannot return a completed digital audit. We deliver actionable data. What you do with that data is entirely up to you.
Intellectual Property and Our Content
We spent years building our audit frameworks. We tested hundreds of local listings to figure out exactly what moves the needle. The content on this site belongs to us.
This includes our diagnostic checklists, our GBP optimization strategies, and every word on this blog.
We provide you with a custom audit report. You own that specific report. You can share it with your internal marketing team. You can hand it to your web developer to implement the technical fixes. You do not own the underlying methodology.
- You cannot publish our audit templates online.
- You cannot resell our citation building checklists.
- You cannot scrape our site, copy our audit methodology, and sell it to your clients as your own.
We protect our intellectual property aggressively. If we find our proprietary citation strategies repackaged on your domain, we will pursue legal action.
Third-Party Platforms
Our service relies heavily on third-party platforms. Google Maps, Apple Maps, Bing Places, and various data aggregators. We do not control these entities.
Google can suspend your profile without warning. Yelp can filter your legitimate reviews into their hidden section. We diagnose why these things happen and tell you how to fix them. We hold no responsibility for the actions of these third-party platforms. Their algorithms are their own.
Accuracy of Information
Local SEO changes fast. What worked for map pack dominance three years ago will get your profile suspended today. We update our content relentlessly. We test new theories. We publish our findings.
However, we make mistakes. Google rolls out unannounced core updates. A tactic we published last month will sometimes lose effectiveness tomorrow. We provide all information on this site “as is” without any warranty of absolute accuracy. You apply our advice at your own discretion. Cross-reference our data. Test it in your own market.
Affiliate Links and Tool Recommendations
We use specific software to track local rankings, audit citations, and monitor review velocity. When we find a tool that actually works, we recommend it.
Sometimes we use affiliate links.
This means if you click a link on localseoauditservice.com and buy a subscription to a rank tracker or citation builder, we earn a small commission. You pay the exact same price. We never recommend garbage software just to make a quick buck. We only link to platforms we actively use in our own agency operations.
User Behavior and Site Access
We maintain a clean, fast website. Do not attempt to break it.
You agree not to run automated scrapers against our server. You will not attempt to bypass our security protocols or flood our contact forms with spam. We monitor our server logs. We block malicious IP addresses instantly. We reserve the right to terminate your access to our site and our services at any time, for any reason, without notice.
Limitation of Liability
This is the strict legal boundary. Listen closely.
Under no circumstances shall localseoauditservice.com, its owners, or its employees be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from your use of this site. This includes loss of data, loss of profits, or business interruption.
You hire us to audit your local presence. We deliver the audit. If a Google update wipes out your traffic the next day, that is outside our control. Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of our services will never exceed the amount you paid us for that specific service.
Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
We operate out of Austin, Texas. The laws of the State of Texas govern these terms.
If you have a dispute with our service, you agree to contact us first. We fix problems. We issue refunds when we fail to deliver the agreed-upon audit. If we cannot resolve the issue directly, any legal proceedings will take place exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas. You consent to this jurisdiction.
Modifications to These Terms
We change these rules when our business model evolves or legal requirements shift. We do not send out mass emails for minor typo corrections. We update the effective date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the site after we post changes constitutes your acceptance of the new terms. Check this page periodically.
Contacting Us
Real humans run this site. We read our emails.
