3 City Location: Scope of Work

This package includes the same tasks as the above 1 city package, but we add (2) additional city location service pages as well. 

The focus of these and other activities is to improve the visibility and rank of your website and GBP profile in search. Progress will be measured and reported via 3rd party rank tracking where you can see near real-time keyword rank.

Access:
We will need access to your website and GBP listing to carry out some of these tasks. We will advise you on how to provide our team access, but you are responsible for doing it. Your billing will continue regardless of any delays on your part in providing the required access to us. 

Changes Your Make to Website or GBP Listing: 
Our goal is to let you focus on your business while we handle the SEO stuff. This means you won't have to manage your website or GBP listing. Of course, you are welcome to make edits to your own website or listing. However, please check with us first.

We don't want you to accidentally overwrite or reverse the work we have done by mistake, delete important SEO data, or change your address, business name, or phone number on your Google listing. Such edits can trigger a suspension or drop in rankings by Google. We are not responsible for changes you make or for correcting the adverse effects of such changes. So please, we encourage you to check with us first or enlist our assistance in making these changes. We are here to make your life easier, and also help you avoid taking steps backward. 

Guarantees
While we cannot guarantee certain placement of rank in Google, our track record is strong and we enjoy very long-term client relationships based on performance.

Cancellation Policy:
This is a month-to-month service, billed 30 days in advance. We do not require long-term contracts, only a 30-day written notice prior to your bill date if you need to cancel for any reason.
Ex. If your bill is on June 1, you need to provide notice by or on May 1. Most of our clients stay with us for many years!

How to Cancel: 
Send an email to support (at) automaticoutreach.com expressing your desire to stop billing. We will stop billing if received 30 days prior, but complete scheduled work for that same period.
