Search Engines are third party systems with unknown variables, algorithms and indexing decisions that can change at any time, with which we have no control over. As such, no SEO specialist can fulfil a 100% guarantee of getting your website ranked #1 organically on any major Search Engine for your desired keywords.
- Whilst we will try to improve the position of your Web Site in the Search Engine results in response to a search request, we do not warrant that this effort will be successful.

- You acknowledge that search engines may, at any time, change their ranking algorithm, exclude sites from their listings, or change their policies without notice and that such change may adversely affect your search engine ranking.
- The Hudson Valley Digital Marketing will not be held liable for any fluctuations, alterations or removal of your listing in the search engines.
