Terms of Service
Effective Date: May 18, 2026
You found indianapolislocalseo.com. You read our guides on ranking in the map pack. You want more local Indiana clients. Before we go further, we need to set the ground rules. We operate in reality. We expect you to do the same. Reading this site means you agree to these terms. If you disagree, close the tab.
Client Engagements vs. Free Content
This website provides free, public information. It is a resource for Indiana business owners. Reading our guide on ranking a roofing company in Carmel does not make you our client. We do not owe you a fiduciary duty. We do not monitor your analytics. We do not fix your broken links.
If you want us to actively manage your local SEO, you must sign a formal service agreement. That agreement supersedes this page. It outlines specific deliverables, timelines, and payment terms. Until you sign that contract and pay the invoice, you are a visitor. Treat the information here as a starting point.
Disclaimer of Warranties
Local SEO is volatile. Proximity signals shift. Google updates the core algorithm. A competitor opens a physical office three blocks closer to the city center. Your rankings drop.
We do not guarantee specific map pack positions. Anyone promising you a guaranteed number one spot in Indianapolis is lying. We share tactics that work based on our own agency data. We test them on real campaigns. We publish the results.
We provide this website “as is.” We make no warranties. We reject all implied guarantees of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. You apply our citation building strategies at your own risk. If you aggressively stuff keywords into your Google Business Profile name and Google suspends your listing, that is your problem. We warned you against it. We accept no blame for your execution.
Limitation of Liability
Running a business involves risk. Marketing requires capital. We limit our liability to the absolute maximum extent permitted by law.
We are not liable for lost profits. We are not liable for a drop in phone calls. We are not liable if your site traffic tanks after a core update. If you read a tutorial here, implement it poorly, and lose your local visibility, you cannot sue us for the lost revenue. Your business decisions belong to you.
Intellectual Property
We do the work. We write the case studies. We build the templates.
Every article, graphic, and audit checklist on indianapolislocalseo.com belongs to us. It is protected by copyright law. You can read it. You can share it on social media. You can use the concepts to improve your own Indiana business.
You cannot steal it.
Do not scrape our content and publish it on your agency blog. Do not rip our local SEO audit templates and sell them as your own. We monitor the web for duplicate content. We find stolen work. We file DMCA takedown notices. We protect our assets aggressively.
Affiliate Disclosure and Third-Party Links
We use software to run our agency. We track rankings with Whitespark. We audit citations with BrightLocal. We analyze backlinks with Ahrefs.
Sometimes we link to these tools. Sometimes those links are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and buy a subscription, we earn a small commission. You do not pay a penny extra.
We only recommend tools we actually use in our daily operations. The SEO software market is full of bloated, useless products. We ignore the noise. We only point you toward the signal. We link to resources that actually help you rank in Indiana.
We also link to external websites for context. We link to Google Business Profile guidelines. We link to local Indianapolis news outlets. We do not control those sites. We are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices. Click them at your own discretion.
User Conduct
We occasionally open comments on our local SEO guides. We want real discussions. Ask questions about review velocity. Share your struggles with getting legitimate customer reviews in Fishers.
Keep it clean. Keep it relevant.
Do not post spam. Do not drop links to your offshore directory site. Do not pitch your web design services in our comment section. We delete spam immediately. We ban the IP addresses of repeat offenders. We keep the signal high and the noise low.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
We live here. We work here. We rank businesses here.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana. Any legal dispute regarding this website will be handled exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Marion County, Indiana. No out-of-state venues. No forced offshore arbitration. We handle our business locally.
Changes to These Terms
The internet changes. Our business evolves. We update these terms when necessary.
We will post the updated terms on this page. We will change the effective date at the top. We do not send out mass emails for minor typo fixes. Check this page periodically. Your continued use of indianapolislocalseo.com means you accept the current version of these terms.
