SEO Results and Guarantees

Confidentiality
Both parties agree to keep confidential all information exchanged during the engagement, including business information, strategies, and sensitive data related to SEO services. Confidential information will not be shared with third parties without prior written consent, except as required by law.
Intellectual Property

- We are not responsible for any third-party services or tools that may be recommended or integrated as part of the SEO process (e.g., hosting providers, analytics platforms).
