Effective Date: August 27, 2026 Last Updated: August 27, 2026
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the website located at Raanked.com (the “Site”) and the services offered by [Insert Company Legal Name] (“Raanked,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), including SaaS link building, guest posting, niche edit services, premium editorial links, brand mention services, LLM citation links, and any related services (collectively, the “Services”).
By accessing the Site, placing an order, or otherwise using the Services, you (“Client,” “you,” or “your”) agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Site or the Services.
1. Definitions
- “Services” means any link building, content placement, or related digital marketing service purchased from Raanked, including but not limited to guest posts, niche edits, premium editorial links, brand mentions, and LLM citation links.
- “Order” means a specific request for Services submitted by the Client and accepted by Raanked.
- “Deliverable” means the completed output of an Order, such as a published link, placement, or mention.
- “Publisher” means a third-party website or platform on which a Deliverable is placed.
- “Client Content” means any content, brand assets, or information the Client provides to Raanked for use in fulfilling an Order.
2. Eligibility and Acceptance
By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal authority to enter into these Terms on behalf of yourself or the business you represent. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity.
3. Description of Services
Raanked provides link building and digital PR services intended to help Clients build backlinks and brand visibility across third-party websites and publications. Depending on the package or Order selected, this may include:
- SaaS Link Building – link acquisition campaigns tailored to SaaS and software businesses
- Guest Posting Services – placement of original content on third-party blogs or publications with a contextual link to the Client’s site
- Niche Edit Services – insertion of a contextual link into existing, previously published content on a third-party site
- Premium Editorial Links – placements on higher-authority editorial publications
- Brand Mention Services – unlinked or linked mentions of the Client’s brand on relevant third-party sites
- LLM Citation Links – placements intended to improve the likelihood of citation within AI-generated search and chat responses
The specific scope, quantity, timeline, and pricing for any engagement will be set out in a separate Order, proposal, statement of work, or invoice, which forms part of these Terms once accepted.
4. No Guarantee of Rankings or Results
This is a material term of the agreement between Raanked and the Client.
Search engine rankings, organic traffic, and AI citation frequency are influenced by many factors outside Raanked’s control, including but not limited to search engine algorithm changes, competitor activity, the Client’s own website quality and technical SEO, and third-party publisher decisions. Raanked does not guarantee any specific ranking position, traffic increase, referring domain count, Domain Rating, Domain Authority, or similar third-party metric as a result of the Services.
Raanked will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver Services in line with current search engine guidelines, including Google’s Search Essentials and spam policies, but cannot and does not guarantee that any search engine will treat a given Deliverable in a particular way at any point in time.
5. Orders, Payment, and Pricing
- All Orders must be paid in accordance with the pricing and payment terms set out in the applicable invoice or proposal.
- Payment is due in full prior to commencement of work.
- Prices are subject to change for future Orders; changes will not affect Orders already accepted and paid for.
- Late payments may result in suspension of ongoing work until payment is received.
6. Turnaround Times and Delivery
Estimated turnaround times communicated by Raanked, whether on the Site, in a proposal, or in correspondence, are estimates only. Because Deliverables depend in part on third-party Publishers (editorial review, publication scheduling, and similar factors outside Raanked’s control), actual delivery times may vary. Raanked will communicate material delays to the Client in a timely manner.
7. Client Responsibilities
The Client agrees to:
- Provide accurate, complete, and timely information and Client Content required to fulfill an Order
- Ensure that Client Content and the Client’s own website comply with applicable law and do not infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any third party
- Respond to reasonable requests for approval, feedback, or clarification within the timeframes requested, as delays on the Client’s part may affect delivery timelines
- Use the Deliverables for lawful purposes only
8. Revisions and Approvals
Where a Deliverable involves original content (such as a guest post), the Client will typically be given an opportunity to request revisions prior to publication, subject to the revision allowance stated in the applicable Order. Once a Deliverable has been published on a third-party Publisher’s site, changes are subject to that Publisher’s own editorial policies and may not be guaranteed.
9. Link and Placement Policy
- Raanked does not knowingly build or broker links through private blog networks (PBNs), link farms, or other schemes that violate Google’s link spam policies.
- Raanked selects Publishers based on internal quality criteria, including topical relevance, editorial standards, and organic visibility, though Raanked does not warrant that any individual Publisher will maintain a particular quality level, authority score, or online presence indefinitely.
- Placements remain on third-party websites outside Raanked’s ownership or control. Raanked does not guarantee that any Deliverable will remain live, indexed, or dofollow indefinitely, as Publishers may update, redesign, or remove content at their own discretion. Where a package includes link replacement or monitoring as a stated feature, that feature will be honored as described in the applicable Order.
10. Intellectual Property
- Client Content: The Client retains ownership of all Client Content provided to Raanked. The Client grants Raanked a limited license to use, reproduce, and publish Client Content solely as necessary to fulfill the Services.
- Original Content Created by Raanked: Unless otherwise agreed in writing, once paid in full, ownership of original content created specifically for a Client’s Order (such as a guest post draft) transfers to the Client, subject to any usage rights retained by the Publisher under its own terms.
- Raanked’s Own IP: All Site content, branding, trademarks, logos, and materials not created as part of a specific Order remain the exclusive property of Raanked.
11. Confidentiality
Both parties agree to keep confidential any non-public business, technical, or strategic information disclosed by the other party in connection with the Services, and to use such information only for the purpose of fulfilling the engagement, except where disclosure is required by law.
12. Prohibited Uses
You agree not to use the Site or Services to:
- Violate any applicable law or regulation
- Infringe the intellectual property or other rights of any third party
- Submit Client Content that is defamatory, fraudulent, or misleading
- Attempt to use the Services to manipulate search rankings in a manner that violates search engine spam policies
- Interfere with or disrupt the security or functionality of the Site
13. Third-Party Websites and Publishers
The Services involve placements on third-party websites not owned or operated by Raanked. Raanked is not responsible for the content, availability, policies, or practices of any third-party Publisher, and Client’s interactions with any Publisher’s own site (if applicable) are governed by that Publisher’s own terms.
14. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Site and Services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Raanked disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Raanked does not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
15. Indemnification
The Client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Raanked, its officers, employees, and affiliates from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of the Client’s breach of these Terms, the Client’s Content, or the Client’s violation of any law or third-party right.
16. Refunds and Cancellations
- Orders may be canceled prior to the commencement of work for a full refund.
- Once work has commenced (including outreach, content drafting, or Publisher negotiation), Orders may be eligible for a partial refund reflecting work already completed, at Raanked’s discretion.
- Once a Deliverable has been published, it is generally non-refundable, as the placement has been completed and paid to the Publisher.
- Refund requests should be submitted to contact@raanked.com within 7 days of the applicable event.
17. Termination
Either party may terminate an ongoing engagement in accordance with the notice period specified in the applicable Order or proposal. Raanked reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to the Services if the Client breaches these Terms, including non-payment. Termination does not relieve the Client of the obligation to pay for Services already rendered.
18. Changes to These Terms
Raanked may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site or Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. Material changes affecting active Orders will be communicated directly to affected Clients where practicable.
19. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid under applicable law, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect.
20. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with any applicable Order, proposal, or invoice, constitute the entire agreement between the Client and Raanked regarding the Services and supersede any prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the same subject matter.
