Terms of Service
Effective Date: May 18, 2026
Welcome to Lexington Local SEO. We built this site to document exactly how we get Kentucky businesses found on Google Maps. We share our methods. We publish our case studies. We lay out the exact steps required to fix broken local search campaigns.
Read these terms carefully. They dictate how you interact with our website, our research, and our published data. You access lexingtonlocalseo.com, you agree to these rules. You reject these terms, you must leave the site immediately.
Our Content Belongs to Us
We spend hundreds of hours testing proximity signals across Fayette County. We track the exact review velocity required to unseat entrenched competitors in the map pack. We write custom schema markup templates for local service businesses. We test them. We refine them. We publish the winning variations.
This hard-earned data belongs to us.
You cannot scrape our site. You cannot copy our Google Business Profile audit checklists and paste them onto your own agency website. You cannot take our case studies about ranking Lexington HVAC contractors and pass them off as your own work. We monitor the web for duplicate content. We file DMCA takedown notices without hesitation. We protect our operational assets.
You can reference our data. You can link to our guides. You must provide clear, visible attribution when you do.
No Guaranteed Rankings
We offer zero guarantees about your Google rankings.
Local SEO operates in a volatile environment. Google updates its local search algorithm constantly. A citation strategy that pushes a Lexington roofer to position one today requires immediate adjustment next month. We document what works for us right now in our specific test environments. We do not promise it will work for you forever.
We provide educational information. We share our operational reality. We do not offer professional legal, financial, or guaranteed marketing advice.
Your rankings depend on your specific market, your existing domain authority, and your execution. Reading our guide on NAP consistency does not magically fix a decade of bad directory listings. You have to do the work. You carry the risk.
Accuracy of Information
The local search landscape shifts daily. A tactic that dominated the map pack last spring fails today.
We update our core guides frequently. We leave older blog posts up for historical context. We do not guarantee that every single sentence on this website reflects the absolute latest Google Business Profile guidelines. You hold the responsibility to verify current search engine policies before executing any major changes to your digital footprint.
Limitation of Liability
You execute our strategies at your own risk.
If you read our guide on merging duplicate Google Business Profiles, execute it poorly, and trigger a manual suspension, that falls on you. If you aggressively keyword-stuff your business name after misinterpreting our advice on title optimization, you pay the price. If you build toxic links because you skipped the nuance in our off-page SEO tutorial, your traffic drop is your problem.
Lexington Local SEO accepts zero liability for your business outcomes. We are not responsible for lost revenue, ranking drops, algorithmic penalties, or suspended listings. We give you the map. You drive the car. You crash it, you pay the tow bill.
Tool Recommendations and Affiliates
We use specific software to track local rankings, audit citations, and monitor review sentiment. Professional tools cost money.
We occasionally link to tools like BrightLocal, Whitespark, or Semrush using affiliate links. If you purchase a subscription through our link, we earn a small commission. This costs you nothing extra.
We refuse to recommend garbage. We reject dozens of partnership requests from subpar software vendors every year. If a tool fails our internal testing, it never appears on this site. We only link to software we actively use to rank Kentucky businesses. We value our reputation over a quick payout.
Third-Party Links and Directories
We frequently link out to external resources. We link to official Google documentation. We link to local Lexington directories like the Chamber of Commerce or local news outlets for citation building.
We do not control these external websites. We hold no responsibility for their content, their privacy practices, or their sudden changes in editorial policy. A directory we recommend today becomes a spam farm tomorrow. You must evaluate every third-party site yourself before submitting your business information.
User Conduct and Comments
We allow comments on specific case studies and guides. We expect professional discourse.
Bring actual data. Share real experiences. Ask specific questions about local search friction.
Do not drop spam links to your own agency. Do not paste generic filler about meta tags into our discussions about hyper-local schema markup. Do not share sensitive client data or proprietary login credentials in our public forums. We delete spam instantly. We ban repeat offenders permanently. Keep the noise down. Elevate the signal.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
We operate our business in Lexington. Kentucky law governs these terms of service.
If a legal dispute arises from your use of this website, we handle it in Fayette County. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Fayette County, Kentucky. You waive any objections to this venue.
Updates to These Terms
Our business evolves. The legal requirements for digital publishers change. We update these terms when necessary.
We post the new version directly to this page. We update the effective date at the top. We do not send out mass emails for minor legal updates. Check back here if you care about the exact details of our terms. Continued use of lexingtonlocalseo.com after an update constitutes your acceptance of the new rules.
