Agreement

These Terms govern your use of gridlocal.com and any services provided by GridLocal, operated by Scott McGuckin ("GridLocal"). By using the site or engaging our services, you agree to them. If you don't, don't use the site.

What we do

GridLocal provides local search visibility auditing, Google Business Profile optimization, reporting, and related marketing services. Specific deliverables, timelines and fees for paid engagements are set out in a separate written proposal or order form, which takes precedence over these Terms where they conflict.

Free scans and reports

We offer free visibility scans as an introduction to our services. These are provided as is, for informational purposes, and:

We're not obligated to provide a free scan to anyone, and we may decline or discontinue them.

No guarantee of results

Search rankings are controlled by third-party platforms and are affected by factors outside anyone's control. We do not guarantee any particular ranking, position, traffic volume, call volume, lead volume, or revenue outcome. Any projections, estimates or examples we provide are illustrative, not promises.

Where a specific written engagement includes a performance commitment, that commitment is defined in the engagement document and is limited to what it expressly states.

Where a deliverable requires action by you or your staff, results depend on that action being taken.

Fees and payment

Fees, schedule and term are set out in your proposal or order form. Unless stated otherwise: invoices are due on receipt, recurring services bill monthly in advance, and late amounts may incur interest at the lower of 1.5% per month or the maximum allowed by law.

Recurring services continue until cancelled. Either party may cancel with 30 days written notice, effective at the end of the then-current billing period. Fees already paid for a completed period are non-refundable unless stated otherwise in writing.

You grant us permission to reference your business name and non-confidential results as a case study, unless you tell us in writing not to.

Third-party platforms

Our services involve Google, review platforms, and other third-party services with their own terms. We're not responsible for their availability, policy changes, algorithm changes, or actions they take with respect to your listings or accounts.

Confidentiality

Each party will protect the other's non-public information disclosed in connection with the engagement and use it only to perform or receive the services.
