Refund & Guarantee Policy

Effective Date: 19 June 2026 Last Updated: 19 June 2026 Applies to: semanticseos.digital

100% Money-Back Guarantee

If we deliver outside the agreed scope and our revision process cannot resolve it, you receive a full refund. No hoops, no disputes, no delays. We stand behind every deliverable we produce.

Our Guarantee

At Semantic SEOs, we are confident in the quality of every deliverable we produce. Every topical map, content brief, article, and audit we deliver is built using the Koray Tuğberk GÜBÜR topical authority framework and reviewed by our team before delivery.

Our guarantee is simple: if we produce something that falls demonstrably outside the agreed scope and our revision process cannot make it right, you get a full refund. No arguing, no drawn-out process, no partial excuses.

The Semantic SEOs Guarantee covers:

✓ Deliverables confirmed to be outside the agreed scope after delivery
✓ Quality issues that cannot be resolved through our standard revision process
✓ Orders cancelled before work commences
✓ Orders where we are unable to fulfil the service within a reasonable time

This is a quality guarantee, not a results guarantee. SEO rankings, traffic, and AI citations depend on factors entirely outside our control — search engine algorithms, competitor activity, domain age, website technical health, and the competitive landscape of your niche. We do not and cannot guarantee specific ranking positions or traffic outcomes.

What the Guarantee Covers

Covered by the guarantee

  • Scope deviation: The deliverable materially differs from what was agreed at the time of ordering (e.g. a 50-topic topical map with fewer than 50 topics, articles under the agreed word count).
  • Unresolvable quality issues: A deliverable contains errors or omissions that cannot be corrected through the standard revision process (one round included with every order).
  • Non-delivery: We fail to deliver within the agreed or reasonable estimated timeframe and cannot provide a revised delivery date acceptable to you.
  • Pre-work cancellation: You cancel before our team begins work on your order.

Not covered by the guarantee

  • Ranking positions: We do not guarantee any specific position in Google, Bing, or AI search platforms. SEO is an ongoing process influenced by many external factors.
  • Traffic or revenue outcomes: We cannot guarantee increases in organic traffic, leads, or revenue resulting from our deliverables.
  • AI citation frequency: We cannot guarantee that your content will be cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, or Bing Copilot. AEO and GEO services improve the conditions for citations; they do not guarantee them.
  • Change of mind: A refund is not available simply because you changed your mind after work has commenced.
  • Third-party factors: Any impact on your website caused by algorithm updates, hosting issues, penalties, or actions by third parties after delivery of our work.

Refund Eligibility

Your eligibility for a refund depends on the stage of work at the time of your request:

Before Work Commences: Full refund — no questions asked. Submit a written cancellation request to [email protected] before our team begins your project.
Work In Progress: Partial refund proportional to the work not yet completed. The completed portion is non-refundable. We will provide a written breakdown of work completed versus outstanding before processing any partial refund.
After Full Delivery: No refund for fully delivered and accepted work, except where the deliverable is confirmed to fall outside the agreed scope and cannot be resolved through our revision process. In that case, a full refund applies.

Refund requests must be submitted within 14 calendar days of delivery. Requests submitted after this period will be considered at our discretion.

Service-by-Service Refund Policy

Each service has specific refund conditions based on its nature and how work is structured.

How to Request a Refund

To submit a refund request, follow these steps. We aim to resolve all refund requests within 5 business days of acknowledgement.

Send a written refund request

Email [email protected] with the subject line "Refund Request — [Your Order Date]". Include your full name, the service you ordered, the date of purchase, and a clear explanation of your reason for requesting a refund.

We acknowledge within 1 business day

We will confirm receipt of your request and let you know the next steps. If your request relates to a quality issue with a deliverable, we will review the work against the original brief.

We offer a revision first (where applicable)

Where a deliverable has been received but contains quality issues, we will first offer to revise it at no charge as part of our standard revision policy. This is usually the fastest route to resolution. If the revision fully resolves the issue, no refund is necessary.

If revision does not resolve the issue

If the revised deliverable still falls outside the agreed scope, we will process a full refund. We will notify you by email confirming the refund amount and the processing timeline before initiating it.

Refund is processed via Stripe

Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method through Stripe. You will receive a Stripe email confirmation when the refund is initiated. See Section 6 for processing timelines.

Need help fast? You can also message us on WhatsApp or call +44 7478 036 140. We aim to resolve all refund requests quickly and without friction.

Refund Timelines

Once a refund is approved, the following timelines apply:

Our Processing

1–3

Business days from approval to initiating the Stripe refund. We will email you confirmation when the refund is submitted.

Stripe to Your Bank

5–10

Business days for the refund to appear in your account after Stripe processes it. This depends on your card issuer or bank.

PayPal Refunds

3–5

Business days for PayPal refunds. Funds are returned to your PayPal balance or original funding source.

Total Maximum Time

~13

Business days from approval to funds available in your account. Most refunds complete significantly faster than this.

Refunds are returned exclusively to the original payment method used at checkout. We cannot refund to a different card, account, or payment method.

Exceptions and Exclusions

The following circumstances are explicitly excluded from our refund policy:

  • Results-based claims: We do not offer refunds based on search engine rankings, organic traffic volumes, AI citation numbers, or any other outcome metric that depends on factors outside our control.
  • Change of mind after commencement: Refunds are not available if you simply change your mind after work has begun, unless the deliverable falls outside the agreed scope.
  • Late requests: Refund requests submitted more than 14 calendar days after delivery will be considered at our sole discretion and are not guaranteed.
  • Inaccurate client information: Where a deliverable is affected by inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information you provided at the time of ordering, this does not constitute a quality failure on our part.
  • Client-modified deliverables: If you substantially modify a deliverable after receipt and then claim it is outside scope, a refund will not be issued. Raise quality concerns before making modifications.
  • Deliverables already used commercially: If you have published, distributed, or otherwise commercially used a deliverable and then request a refund, this will not be approved.
  • Link building — live links: Once a backlink is live on a third-party website, the placement cannot be reversed and no refund is available for that specific link placement.
  • Third-party costs: We are not responsible for any third-party costs you incur in connection with our services (e.g. hosting costs, CMS plugin fees, developer implementation costs).
  • Force majeure: Delays or non-delivery caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to platform outages, search engine changes, or global events.
Important: This policy does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer under applicable law. If you are a consumer in the UK, EU, or a US state with mandatory consumer protection rights, those rights are preserved regardless of this policy. Contact us if you believe your statutory rights apply to your situation.
