Terms of Service

The service

Groundwork SEO provides a free SEO audit. If you choose to proceed, there is a one-time SEO implementation at a fixed price. There is no subscription, retainer, or auto-renewal.

The free audit

The audit is free and comes with no obligation. It is prepared from publicly available data, needs no access to your site, and is yours to keep and to share.

Paid work

• The price is fixed and agreed before work begins.
• Work starts once we have the access described below.
• Turnaround is 48–60 hours from access on WordPress and WooCommerce. Shopify and BigCommerce are supported and quoted individually.

Scope

The flat price covers optimizing your site individually, page by page: titles, meta descriptions, alt text, canonicals, schema, redirects, indexing and internal links, and, for stores, the store work listed on the pricing page, up to 3,000 products.

Not included unless separately quoted: uniquely written copy for each individual page or product, restructuring of the category tree or product variants, implementation of faceted navigation (a theme or plugin change), any field for which the data does not exist, and any site above 3,000 products.

No ranking guarantees

We do not promise specific rankings, positions, or traffic. Search engines decide rankings. We guarantee the quality of the work delivered and the clarity of the report.

Access

For paid work you add us as an Administrator user and provide the login URL and username. We create our own credential inside that account; deleting the user ends our access. You are responsible for having the right to grant that access.

Revisions and refunds

• Anything you are unhappy with is redone free within 24 hours.
• If we cannot deliver the work we quoted, you receive a refund of the amount paid.
• Because fixes are applied live and cannot be reversed, the free audit always precedes any paid work.

Liability

The service is provided as described. To the extent permitted by law, our liability is limited to the amount you paid for the work.
