Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

Welcome to PetRankers. By accessing our website at petrankers.com, booking a consultation, requesting a free SEO audit, or engaging any of our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, please do not use our website or services.

These Terms apply to all visitors, leads, and clients of PetRankers.

2. Who We Are

PetRankers is a niche Local SEO agency specializing exclusively in helping pet grooming businesses, including mobile dog groomers, independent groomers, and luxury pet salons, grow their visibility on Google Search and Google Maps.

We are not a general marketing agency. Our services are designed specifically for local pet service businesses looking to generate consistent leads and bookings through search.

3. Services

PetRankers offers the following services:

• Local SEO strategy for pet grooming businesses
• Google Business Profile optimization (Google Maps ranking)
• Local keyword targeting and content structure
• Landing page SEO for grooming services
• Lead generation systems for local search visibility

All service scopes, timelines, and deliverables are outlined in a separate service agreement or proposal provided to you before engagement begins. These Terms apply alongside that agreement.

4. Free SEO Audit & Consultations

When you request a Free SEO Audit or book a consultation through our website, you agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete information about your business
• Understand that the audit is an assessment tool, not a guarantee of results
• Acknowledge that no payment is required for the initial audit, but follow-up SEO services are paid engagements

PetRankers reserves the right to decline an audit request at our discretion.

5. No Guarantee of Results

SEO results depend on many variables including but not limited to: competition in your local market, Google algorithm updates, the age and authority of your website, and consistency of implementation.

PetRankers does not guarantee specific rankings, traffic numbers, or revenue outcomes. We commit to applying proven local SEO strategies, transparent reporting, and consistent execution, but we cannot guarantee specific positions on Google or a specific number of leads.

Any case studies or results shown on our website represent past client outcomes and are not guarantees of future performance.

6. Client Responsibilities

To get the best results from our SEO services, clients agree to:

• Provide timely access to necessary accounts (Google Business Profile, website CMS, Google Search Console, etc.)
• Review and approve content, copy, and strategy within agreed timelines
• Inform PetRankers of any significant business changes (service area changes, rebrand, new location, etc.)
• Not engage conflicting SEO services from another provider for the same local market without prior written notice

Delays caused by the client may affect timelines and deliverables.

7. Payments & Billing

Payment terms are outlined in your individual service agreement. General terms include:

• Monthly retainer fees are due on the agreed billing date
• Invoices not paid within 14 days of the due date may result in a pause of services
• All fees are non-refundable unless otherwise specified in writing
• PetRankers reserves the right to adjust pricing with 30 days’ written notice for ongoing engagements

We use third-party payment processors. By making a payment, you also agree to their applicable terms.

8. Intellectual Property

All content produced by PetRankers as part of your engagement, including SEO audits, keyword strategies, content briefs, and landing page copy, is delivered to you for use in your business once full payment is received.

PetRankers retains the right to:

• Reference your business as a client (e.g., in case studies or a client portfolio) unless you request otherwise in writing
• Reuse general strategies, frameworks, and methodologies across other client engagements

You may not resell, redistribute, or white-label any deliverables from PetRankers without written permission.

11. Termination

Either party may terminate a service engagement with 30 days’ written notice, unless otherwise stated in your service agreement.

Upon termination:

• All outstanding invoices become immediately due
• PetRankers will provide access to any accounts or assets belonging to the client
• Work in progress at the time of termination will be completed only if the final period is paid in full

PetRankers reserves the right to terminate engagement immediately if a client engages in abusive behavior, fraudulent activity, or material breach of these Terms.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, PetRankers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of our services, including lost revenue, lost rankings, or lost business opportunities.
