Algorithm Updates
SEO, Social Media, and Digital Marketing is an ever changing environment. We are a company that prides itself in A-B Testing all our proprietary processes before they are implemented on client sites. Despite our testing, the industry is heavily driven by the algorithm developed by Google, Facebook and other technology companies. We do not warrant our work from negative performance that are driven by algorithm changes.
Warranties on Human Error
In order to retain a natural feel and behavior to our strategy, many of our activities are people-intervened, and therefore it is impossible to remove human error from the process. We strongly commit to high Quality Standards and therefore set your expectations at a 1% human error rate. Should there be questions arising due to the quality or volume of work, we would be more than happy to correct the situation and address the error and complete the fulfillment. Your active participation and vigilance in monitoring the quality of work is not just appreciated, but integral to our mutual success.
