Terms of Service

Terms of Service

Effective Date: May 21, 2026.

Read this before you implement our strategies. We built localsearchrankingservice.com to document what actually works in local search. We test citation velocity. We track proximity signals. We publish the raw data. You read it, and you decide how to apply it to your brick-and-mortar campaigns.

Using this site means you accept these terms. If you disagree with our rules, close the tab. We operate this platform for serious practitioners, agency owners, and business operators who want granular control over their map pack presence.

1. The Ground Rules

We provide operational local SEO insights. You consume them. That’s the exchange. You agree to use this information for legitimate business growth. Don’t scrape our case studies. Don’t repackage our GBP optimization frameworks as your own agency deliverables.

We monitor our server logs. We block automated scrapers. We protect our work.

You’re strictly prohibited from using our site to distribute spam, upload malicious code, or attempt unauthorized access to our backend systems. We run a clean operation. We expect our visitors to respect that boundary. Violate these basic rules, and we’ll permanently ban your IP address without warning.

2. Intellectual Property

Every case study, NAP consistency audit template, and ranking analysis on this site belongs to us. We spent years testing these methods on actual HVAC contractors, roofing companies, and dental clinics. The friction of trial and error is baked into our content.

You can’t copy, distribute, or claim our work as yours. You can cite us. You can link to us. You can’t steal from us.

Respect the signal. Ignore the noise. Build your own assets.

If you want to reference our data in your own client reports, you must provide a clear, visible backlink to the original article on localsearchrankingservice.com. We enforce our copyright. We issue DMCA takedown notices to sites that scrape our proprietary local SEO testing data.

3. Accuracy of Information

Google updates its local algorithm constantly. A review velocity tactic that crushed it last month will fail today. We publish our current findings based on live client data. We update our guides when the search environment shifts.

We don’t guarantee absolute perfection.

You’ll find historical articles on this site that reflect past ranking realities. A post about Google My Business from four years ago won’t map perfectly to today’s Google Business Profile interface. We leave these posts up for historical context. It’s your responsibility to verify the current validity of any tactic before you deploy it on
