Honest Expectations
What pay-for-results means, and what it doesn’t.
We would rather set clear expectations than over-promise. Google controls rankings, so here is exactly where we stand.
What it means
- You are billed only for approved keywords that reach page one of Google.
- You are on a clear monthly plan you chose up front, with no surprise invoices.
- You approve the keyword list up front, so you always know exactly what you are paying for.
- You get plain-English rank reports, no vanity metrics.
What it doesn’t mean
- We don’t guarantee specific rankings, traffic, leads, or revenue.
- We cannot promise exact positions, but every keyword is tracked transparently in Semrush.
- It doesn’t mean no work happens before a keyword reaches page one.
