Terms of Service
Effective Date: May 19, 2026.
You are reading the rules of engagement for newyorkcityseoservices.com. We operate a hyper-local SEO agency in the most competitive market on earth. We publish our findings, our case studies, and our operational frameworks. By accessing this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, close the tab and leave.
We wrote these terms clearly. We skipped the dense legal jargon. You need to know exactly where we stand, what we own, and what risks you take when you implement search engine optimization strategies.
The Reality of Local SEO and Our Disclaimer of Warranties
We need to address the core friction of our industry immediately. We do not guarantee specific Google rankings. Nobody can. If an agency promises you the number one spot in the Google Map Pack for a Manhattan personal injury keyword, they are lying to you.
Search algorithms change constantly. Google shifts proximity signals without warning. Competitors manipulate review velocity. We provide information, guides, and agency services based on active field testing across the five boroughs. We share what actually works for our clients right now. We track local citations, optimize Google Business Profiles, and build location-specific authority. We know this market.
We do not control Google.
Everything published on this site is for informational purposes. We present our data “as is” without any warranties, express or implied. You might read our guide on optimizing your GBP Q&A section. You might implement it perfectly. You might still see your rankings fluctuate due to a core algorithm update. We are not responsible for those fluctuations.
Client Engagements Versus Public Content
Reading our website does not make you our client. Consuming our public case studies does not establish a formal agency relationship.
When we take on an HVAC contractor in Queens or a dental practice in Brooklyn, we sign a specific, custom service agreement. That contract governs our actual SEO campaigns. The terms on this page govern your use of our public website. Do not confuse the two. If you want our team to actively manage your NAP consistency and build local links, you must book a strategy call and sign a formal contract.
Intellectual Property and Content Ownership
We spend thousands of hours testing local search variables. We document our failures. We publish our wins. The content on this site represents real operational experience.
We own the intellectual property on newyorkcityseoservices.com. This includes our text, our proprietary local search frameworks, our custom graphics, and our case study data. You may read it. You may share links to it. You may not scrape it, copy it, or republish it on your own agency website.
We monitor the web for stolen content. When we find another agency passing off our Manhattan ranking case studies as their own work, we file DMCA takedown notices immediately. We protect our assets.
Limitation of Liability
Local SEO carries inherent risk. You can make a mistake that costs you visibility. You can trigger a manual penalty. You can get your Google Business Profile suspended.
Suppose you read an article here about building local citations. You decide to execute the strategy yourself. You use a virtual office address in Midtown to try and game the proximity filter. Google catches the violation and suspends your listing. Your phone stops ringing. Your revenue drops.
That is your responsibility.
Under no circumstances shall newyorkcityseoservices.com, its owners, or its employees be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from your use of our website. We provide the map. You drive the car. We hold zero liability for the outcome of your independent SEO execution. You assume all risk when applying our public frameworks to your own business assets.
Affiliate Links and Third-Party Tools
We use specific software to run our agency. We track rankings, audit citations, and monitor backlinks. When we find a tool that actually works, we mention it.
Sometimes we include affiliate links to these tools. If you click a link for software like BrightLocal, Whitespark, or Ahrefs and make a purchase, we earn a small commission. This does not cost you anything extra. We only link to tools we actively use in our daily agency operations. We never recommend garbage software just to make a quick affiliate commission. Our reputation in the NYC market matters more than a temporary payout.
We also link to external websites for reference. We do not control those external sites. If you click a link and land on a page with outdated SEO advice, we are not responsible for their content.
User Behavior and Communication
We provide contact forms and strategy booking calendars. We expect professional communication. If you submit spam, abusive messages, or automated bot inquiries through our forms, we will block your IP address permanently.
We review every inquiry manually. We respond to legitimate local businesses looking for serious SEO growth. We ignore automated solicitations.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
We operate in New York. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York. Any legal dispute regarding your use of this website will be handled exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County. By using this site, you consent to this jurisdiction.
Changes to These Terms
The SEO industry moves fast. Our business evolves. We will update these terms when necessary. When we change the rules, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We do not send out email blasts every time we tweak a legal paragraph. It is your responsibility to check this page periodically.
Your continued use of newyorkcityseoservices.com after we post changes constitutes your acceptance of the new terms. If you have specific questions about these rules, use our contact page. A real person from our team will read it and reply within two business days.
