The content on this website is provided for general business and marketing information.

We aim to keep the information accurate and updated, but we do not guarantee that all content will always be complete, current or error-free.

Any SEO examples, case studies, rankings, traffic growth, revenue figures or marketing results shown on this website are provided as examples of past work or performance. They do not guarantee the same or similar results for every client.

4. Our Services

When you hire 4Core Digital, the exact scope of work will be agreed separately through a proposal, quote, email, invoice, contract, project brief or written communication.

Your service scope may include one-time work, monthly retainers, audits, consulting, SEO implementation, content recommendations, technical SEO tasks, link building, paid advertising management or other digital marketing support.

Only the services clearly agreed in writing will be included.

Any additional work outside the agreed scope may require a separate quote or approval.

5. No Guaranteed SEO Results

SEO and digital marketing results depend on many factors, including:

• Website condition
• Competition
• Industry
• Search demand
• Technical issues
• Content quality
• Backlink profile
• Website authority
• Google algorithm updates
• Client implementation speed
• Budget
• Market conditions
• Third-party platform changes

For this reason, 4Core Digital does not guarantee:

• First-page rankings
• Number one rankings
• Specific keyword positions
• Fixed traffic growth
• Fixed lead numbers
• Fixed sales or revenue
• Exact timeline for results
• Approval from Google Business Profile or third-party platforms

We use ethical, white-hat SEO and digital marketing practices, but search engines and advertising platforms are controlled by third parties.

6. Client Responsibilities

To complete work properly, clients may need to provide:

• Website access
• CMS access
• Google Search Console access
• Google Analytics / GA4 access
• Google Business Profile access

You are responsible for providing accurate information and ensuring you have the right to use any content, images, logos, trademarks, data or materials shared with us.

Delays in access, feedback, approvals or required information may delay project timelines.

7. Proposals, Quotes and Pricing

All prices, quotes and proposals are valid only for the period stated in the proposal or communication.

If no validity period is mentioned, pricing may be changed or withdrawn at any time before work begins.

If payment is delayed, we may pause work, delay delivery or withhold final deliverables until payment is received.

10. Revisions and Approvals

Where revisions are included, the number of revisions and revision scope will be based on the agreed proposal or project brief. Revision requests should relate to the original agreed scope.

Major changes, new requirements or changes after approval may be treated as additional work and may require extra charges.

12. Advertising Services

If we manage paid advertising campaigns, the client is responsible for advertising spend unless otherwise agreed.

We may help with strategy, campaign setup, optimisation and reporting, but we do not guarantee specific ad results, cost per lead, sales volume, conversion rate or return on ad spend.

Advertising platforms such as Google, Meta and others may approve, reject, limit or suspend ads based on their own policies.

• Third-party website policies

We do not guarantee that every outreach attempt will result in a backlink.

We do not support spam links, automated link schemes, link farms, hacked links or unsafe SEO practices.

Unless otherwise agreed, content, documents, strategies, reports, recommendations and deliverables created by 4Core Digital remain our intellectual property until full payment is received.

After full payment, the client may use the agreed deliverables for their own business purposes.

We will not publicly share confidential information without permission.

18. Website Access and Security

If you provide access to your website, hosting, CMS, analytics, advertising accounts or other platforms, you are responsible for ensuring access is authorised.

We recommend using secure access methods, limited permissions where possible and changing passwords after project completion where appropriate.
