01
Introduction
This SEO Disclaimer applies to all search engine optimisation services provided by AI Takes Axion Ltd. By engaging our SEO services, you acknowledge and accept the terms set out in this Disclaimer.
Critical: Please Read Carefully
No ethical SEO provider can guarantee specific search engine rankings. Any provider that does is misrepresenting the nature of SEO.
02
No Guarantee of Rankings
The Company does not guarantee:
- That your website will appear at any specific position in search engine results
- That your website will rank for any specific keyword or search term
- That your website will rank on the first page of Google or any other search engine
- That rankings achieved will be maintained indefinitely
- That SEO activity will result in a specific volume of traffic, leads, or revenue
Search engine rankings are determined by complex, proprietary algorithms operated by search engines. These algorithms are not controlled by or accessible to the Company.
03
Algorithm Updates
Search engines including Google regularly update their ranking algorithms. These updates can significantly affect a website's rankings positively or negatively, regardless of the quality of SEO work carried out.
The Company is not responsible for ranking fluctuations or losses caused by algorithm updates. Where rankings are negatively affected, the Company will review the situation and adapt the strategy accordingly, but cannot guarantee recovery within any specific timeframe.
04
Realistic Timeframes
SEO is a long-term strategy. Results are not immediate. Realistic expectations:
- 0 to 3 months — foundational work. Technical SEO fixes, on-page optimisation, and Google Business Profile setup. Rankings may not show measurable change during this period.
- 3 to 6 months — early results. Initial keyword movement and improvements in visibility may begin to appear for lower-competition terms.
- 6 to 12 months — meaningful traction. More consistent ranking improvements and measurable traffic increases are typically seen in this period.
- 12 months and beyond — compounding results. Consistent effort over 12 months typically produces significantly better results than short-term activity.
Please Note
Requesting refunds or terminating SEO services within the first three to six months on the basis that results have not been achieved is inconsistent with the nature of SEO and does not constitute grounds for a refund.
05
Competitor Activity
Your search rankings are affected not only by our SEO work but also by competitor activity. If competitors increase their SEO investment, your relative rankings may shift. The Company cannot control competitor behaviour and is not responsible for changes caused by it.
06
Client Actions Affecting SEO
The effectiveness of SEO services is directly affected by the client's actions. The following may negatively impact performance:
- Making changes to the website without notifying the Company
- Deleting pages or changing URL structures without prior discussion
- Failing to publish agreed content in a timely manner
- Using third-party services that conflict with the SEO strategy
The Company is not responsible for ranking losses caused by the client's own actions.
07
What We Commit To
While we cannot guarantee specific outcomes, we commit to:
- Carrying out all agreed SEO activities to a professional standard
- Using ethical, white-hat techniques that comply with search engine guidelines
- Providing monthly reporting on keyword positions, traffic, and work completed
- Adapting the strategy in response to algorithm updates and performance data
- Being transparent about what is and is not working
