The specific scope of services for each engagement is defined in a written proposal or service agreement provided prior to commencement of work.
All deliverables, timelines, reporting cadence, and pricing are outlined in a written service proposal or Statement of Work (SOW) agreed upon by both parties before work begins. The following general conditions apply to all engagements:
→ Work will not commence until a signed agreement and any required initial payment have been received.
→ Any changes to the agreed scope of work must be submitted in writing and may result in revised pricing and timelines.
→ Estimated timelines are provided in good faith but are not binding guarantees due to the nature of SEO and search engine algorithm changes.
→ Monthly retainer engagements require a minimum commitment period as specified in the individual proposal (typically 3–6 months).
→ All deliverables are considered accepted unless written objections are raised within 7 days of delivery.
Successful SEO outcomes require collaboration. As a client, you agree to fulfil the following responsibilities promptly and in good faith:
→ Provide timely access to your website (WordPress/Shopify/other CMS), Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and Google Business Profile as required.
→ Supply accurate and complete business information, including business name, address, phone number (NAP), services, and operating hours.
→ Respond to requests for content approvals, feedback, and information within 5 business days to avoid project delays.
→ Implement technical recommendations provided, or grant necessary access for implementation, within a mutually agreed timeframe.
→ Notify us promptly of any major website changes, migrations, rebranding, or platform switches that may affect SEO performance.
→ Maintain all agreed Google Business Profile and third-party directory profiles in an accurate and up-to-date state.
→ Refrain from engaging other SEO providers for the same scope of work during an active engagement without prior written notice.
Failure to fulfil client responsibilities may negatively impact SEO outcomes. We are not liable for performance shortfalls resulting from incomplete access, delayed approvals, or client-side changes made without consultation.
All fees for services are as agreed in the written proposal. The following payment conditions apply unless otherwise specified in writing:
→ Invoicing: Invoices are issued at the start of each billing cycle (monthly retainers) or upon project milestone completion (project-based work).
→ Payment Due: All invoices are due within 7 calendar days of the invoice date unless otherwise agreed in writing.
→ Upfront Payment: A deposit of 50% of the first month’s fee (or total project fee for one-time projects) is required before work commences.
→ Late Payments: Work may be paused on accounts with invoices outstanding beyond 14 days. Resumed work may incur a reactivation fee.
→ Currency: All fees are quoted in Saudi Riyal (SAR) or US Dollar (USD) as specified in the proposal. Payments via bank transfer or agreed digital payment methods.
→ Price Changes: We reserve the right to revise pricing for new contract periods with 30 days’ written notice.
→ Refund Policy: Due to the time and resource investment of SEO work, fees paid for work already commenced are non-refundable. Unused portions of prepaid services may be refunded at our discretion upon written request.
SEO is a long-term, performance-based discipline. While we consistently achieve strong results for our clients — including Top-3 Google Maps rankings and 200–500% organic traffic growth — we are unable to make specific guarantees of rankings or traffic outcomes due to factors outside our control.
No Guarantee Policy: We do not guarantee specific ranking positions, traffic volumes, or lead generation numbers. Anyone who does is misrepresenting how search engines work. What we guarantee is: professional execution, transparent reporting, best-practice methodologies, and dedicated effort on your behalf.
Factors that affect SEO results and are outside our direct control include:
→ Google algorithm updates and changes to ranking factors.
→ Competitor activity and market competitiveness.
→ The starting condition and authority of your website.
→ The speed at which technical recommendations are implemented.
→ Industry seasonality and changes in search demand.
→ Changes to Google’s local search, AI Overview, or Maps ranking systems.
All historical results cited on this website represent individual client outcomes and may not be replicated for every client. Results vary based on industry, competition, budget, and website starting condition.

Either party may terminate an ongoing service agreement under the following conditions:
→ Client Termination: You may terminate a monthly retainer with 30 days’ written notice. Any work completed up to the termination date is billable and payable in full.

→ Minimum Contract Terms: Engagements with a specified minimum term (e.g. 3 or 6 months) are subject to early termination fees as outlined in the individual agreement.
→ Project Work: For one-time project engagements, work may be paused or terminated if client-side delays exceed 30 days, with all fees for work completed remaining payable.
