Terms of Service
Effective Date: May 18, 2026
The Reality of These Terms
You are reading this because you want to know the rules of engagement. We operate fortworthlocalseo.com to share hard-won local search tactics. By reading, browsing, or applying our strategies, you agree to these terms. If you disagree with our rules, close the tab.
We do not sugarcoat our advice. We expect you to handle it responsibly. Local SEO requires testing, patience, and execution. We provide the blueprint. You do the work.
Intellectual Property and Our Content
We build our case studies from scratch. The guides on NAP consistency, Google Business Profile optimization, and review velocity belong to us. We spent hours testing map pack proximity signals across Tarrant County. We own the copyright to every word, image, and audit template on this site.
You cannot scrape our site. You cannot copy our local SEO audit templates and pass them off as your own agency work. Quote us with a backlink if you want to reference our data. Steal from us, and we will file a DMCA takedown without hesitation.
Real tactics. Hard truths. Zero shortcuts.
Disclaimer of Warranties
Google changes its algorithm without asking for our permission. We provide educational content based on what works right now for Fort Worth businesses. We do not guarantee rankings. Nobody can guarantee a number one spot in the local pack.
SEO is a moving target.
If an agency promises you guaranteed map pack placement within 30 days, they are lying. Your results depend on your baseline authority, your specific industry friction, and your execution. We share what worked for a Dallas HVAC contractor or a Fort Worth roofer. Your mileage will vary.
We provide this information strictly “as is” without any express warranties. We reject any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. You apply our methods based on your own business judgment.
Limitation of Liability
Implementing aggressive SEO tactics carries inherent risk. You own your Google Business Profile. If you trigger a hard suspension by keyword-stuffing your business name after reading a forum post we critiqued, that falls entirely on you.
We are not liable for lost revenue, dropped rankings, or suspended profiles. You read it. You test it. You own the outcome. We limit our liability to the maximum extent permitted by Texas law.
We will not pay damages if your organic traffic dips during a core update. We will not compensate you if a competitor outranks you. You assume total responsibility for your website and your digital footprint.
Affiliate Disclosure and Recommendations
We only recommend tools we actually run in our own tech stack. You will see links to citation builders, rank trackers, and review management software across our pages. Some of these are affiliate links. We earn a small commission if you buy through them.
We rejected 14 different rank trackers before settling on the one we use daily. We do not recommend garbage just to make a quick buck. The noise in the SEO software space is deafening. We filter it for you.
You are never obligated to use our links. You can search for the tools directly. We appreciate it when you use our links because it helps fund the deep-dive testing we publish here.
User Conduct and Community Standards
We welcome debate in our community. You can disagree with our take on citation value or proximity limits. We expect professional discourse. You cannot spam our comments with exact-match anchor text links to your own site.
We delete spam immediately. We block toxic users permanently. Keep the conversation focused on local search mechanics. Do not use our platform to harass other business owners or pitch your own services.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
We operate out of Texas. These terms fall strictly under the jurisdiction of the State of Texas. Any legal disputes regarding fortworthlocalseo.com will be handled exclusively in Tarrant County.
We prefer to settle disagreements through clear communication. If lawyers get involved, they do it on our home turf. By using this site, you consent to this jurisdiction and waive any objections to venue.
Changes to These Terms
We update our rules just like Google updates its guidelines. When we change our operations, we update this page. We do not send out blast emails for minor typo fixes. We will note significant policy shifts right here.
Continued use means continued agreement.
Check back if you want the current baseline. It is your responsibility to stay informed about our terms. We keep the effective date at the top accurate.
