Terms of Service

Last updated: 12 August 2026

These terms apply to the marketing services Rans Marketing provides to its clients, and to the use of this website. Individual engagements may be governed by a separate written proposal or agreement; where that agreement conflicts with these terms, the signed agreement takes precedence.

1. Services

Rans Marketing provides marketing services to businesses, including Google Business Profile setup, management and optimization; local and organic search engine optimization; and website performance and conversion optimization. The specific scope, deliverables, timeline and fees for each engagement are set out in a written proposal agreed with the client before work begins.

2. Acting on a client's behalf

Where an engagement includes managing a client's Google Business Profile or other online accounts, the client authorises Rans Marketing to access and make agreed changes to those accounts as their representative. The client confirms that they own or are authorised to manage the business and accounts concerned. The client remains the owner of the profile, the website, the content and all associated data at all times, and may revoke our access at any time.

3. Third-party platforms

Our work depends on platforms we do not control, including Google Search and Google Business Profile. We follow the published policies and guidelines of those platforms, and we do not use deceptive tactics, fake reviews, false business information or any other technique prohibited by them. We are not responsible for changes those platforms make to their policies, algorithms, features or availability, or for actions they take against a business account for reasons outside our work. Rans Marketing is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a partner of Google LLC unless separately stated.

4. No guarantee of rankings or results

Search rankings and visibility are determined by third-party algorithms and by competition. We commit to the agreed work, to sound and policy-compliant methods, and to honest reporting of what changed. We do not guarantee specific rankings, traffic volumes, lead volumes or revenue, and we will not promise a particular position in search results. Any timelines we give are estimates based on experience, not commitments.

5. Client responsibilities

Delays in access, approvals or information will move the timeline accordingly.

6. Fees and payment

Fees, billing frequency and payment terms are stated in the engagement proposal. Unless agreed otherwise, services are provided on a month-to-month basis with no long-term commitment, and invoices are payable within the period stated on the invoice. We may pause work on materially overdue accounts after giving notice.

7. Term and cancellation

Either party may end an engagement by giving written notice as set out in the proposal. On termination, the client pays for work performed up to the termination date, we hand over agreed deliverables and access, and we remove our own access to the client's accounts on request.

8. Intellectual property

On payment in full, the client owns the deliverables produced specifically for them, including content published to their profile or website. Rans Marketing retains ownership of its own pre-existing methods, templates, tools and know-how. Unless the client asks otherwise, we may describe the engagement in general terms as part of our own portfolio.

9. Confidentiality

Each party will keep the other's non-public business information confidential and use it only for the purpose of the engagement. Our handling of personal and account data is described in our Privacy Policy.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, Rans Marketing is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, including lost profits, lost revenue or lost business opportunities. Our total liability arising out of an engagement is limited to the fees paid by the client for the services in the three months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

11. Website use

The content of this website is provided for general information. It does not constitute a guarantee, an offer or professional advice for a specific situation.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The revision date at the top of the page reflects the current version. Changes do not affect an engagement already agreed in writing unless both parties accept them.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. The state and federal courts located in Dallas County, Texas have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.
