Search Engine Optimisation

The Client agrees to make available as soon as is reasonably possible to Design Brothers FTP access to the website and its content management system or a contact email address for someone who will upload changes as requested.

SEO work is governed by many factors which are outside the direct control of Design Brothers and indeed, any other SEO company. Therefore no reputable SEO company can guarantee particular results. Design Brothers however guarantees improvement in a client’s organic search engine results month on month, provided all advice is followed, where Design Brothers are allowed to implement changes suggested.

Ranking results will be monitored and a report will be sent to the Client at the start of the following month. The monthly ranking will be an average of its position in Google.

Please bear in mind, your website's ranking with a particular Search Term will rely on both the relevancy of that term on your pages, and the popularity of that term on other websites.

Your website should be hosted on a reliable server, based in the country of search engine interest, with constant availability, for optimum results. Should Design Brothers recommend changing your host or server, this is to protect the interests of your website's ranking within the Search Engines.

Design Brothers cannot be held responsible for problems or additional costs arising due to any errors made by third parties.

A monthly price for SEO work will be agreed between both parties and in most cases a premium will be agreed for success of the optimisation, these prices and premiums cannot be changed by Design Brothers unless a month’s notice is given to the Client.

A set of key phrases will be agreed between both parties, Design Brothers will advise the Client on the suitability of the phrases but the decision of phrases remains with the Client.

Should the Client wish to change their chosen phrases, Design Brothers can do this but the performance premium will be payable on previous phrases as achieved until these phrases popularity fall or the new phrases raise to premium levels whichever is the sooner. The Client must be aware that the new phrases will take between two and three months for significant progress to be seen on their popularity.

Cancellation of Service by The Client

Whilst the Client is free to provide notice of cancellation at any time, the service shall continue until the end of that same month. All outstanding monies owed to Design Brothers should be paid within 30 days from the date of cancellation unless an agreement is made otherwise.

Cancellation of Service by Design Brothers

Design Brothers may cancel or suspend any services offered without notice, at any point, to any user, providing a reason is provided in writing to the Client.
