These terms cover the consulting work sold through this site. They are written plainly on purpose. If a clause here matters enough to argue about later, it should be readable now.
Who you are contracting with
The AEO Guy is a trading name of Muhammad Osama Ahmed, operating as an individual sole proprietor in Pakistan.
Correspondence address: AA-44, Street 2, Gulshan-e-Hadeed Phase 2, Bin Qasim Town, Karachi 75010, Sindh, Pakistan
Contact: hello@theaeoguy.pro
This is a correspondence address for a remote consultancy. There is no customer facing office at this location, and no US entity or US office.
What is being bought
Answer Engine Optimization work: getting a business named and described correctly inside AI answer systems such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. The plans, what each includes, and their prices are published on the pricing page and form part of these terms.
The work is delivered by one person. There is no delivery team, no account manager, and no subcontracting to an agency. That is the service, not an incidental detail of it.
Anything not described on the pricing page is out of scope until it is agreed in writing. Email counts as writing.
The $49 audit
The audit is $49, charged once, and it is credited in full against your first month if you go on to a plan. It commits you to nothing further. It is a genuine piece of work, not a sales call with a document attached, and the summary is yours to keep, act on, or hand to somebody else entirely.
Two honest limits. It is a first pass rather than an exhaustive technical review, and it reflects what the answer engines returned on the days it was run. Both of those are properties of the format, not caveats added to protect me.
Payment and cancellation
Plans are monthly and run month to month. There is no minimum term, no annual contract, and no automatic escalation of the fee.
- Billing runs monthly in advance for monthly plans.
- The website build is a one time fee, not a subscription, and does not recur.
- Cancelling means telling me, in writing, before the next billing date. Nothing else is required and there is no cancellation fee.
- The month you have paid for is delivered in full even if you cancel partway through it.
- Fees already paid for a completed month are not refunded, because the work for that month has been done.
If something has gone genuinely wrong with the work, say so rather than reaching for this section. It is easier to fix a problem than to argue about a month.
What I need from you
The work depends on access, and it stalls without it. In practice that means the ability to make or request changes to your website, to your structured data, and to the business listings and profiles that describe you elsewhere.
You confirm that you have the right to give that access and that the material you send me is yours to send. Where access comes through a third party, such as a web developer or an existing agency, delays on their side are not delays I can be held to.
Anything either of us shares that is clearly not public stays between us.
Results, and what nobody can promise
This deserves its own page and has one. Read the disclaimer, because it is the part of this agreement most likely to matter.
The short form: I sell the work, not the outcome. Whether a given AI system names your business on a given day is decided by that system, by a model that changes without notice, and by competitors who are also moving. No consultant controls that, and anybody selling you a guaranteed ranking or guaranteed inclusion in ChatGPT is either misinformed or lying.
What is promised is the work itself: the audits, the fixes, the structured data, the content and the monitoring described on the pricing page, done properly and on time.
Who owns what
- You own your content and your website. Copy, schema, page changes and anything else produced specifically for your business becomes yours once it is paid for.
- I keep the methods. The prompt sets, checklists, testing approach and internal tooling used to do the work stay mine, and using them for you does not transfer them to you.
- Anonymized learning is fair game. I may write about patterns learned across engagements, including on this site. Nothing published will identify you, quote your material, or name your business without your explicit agreement.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, total liability for any claim arising out of this work is limited to the fees you paid me in the three months before the claim arose. Neither of us is liable to the other for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profits or lost business.
Nothing in this section limits liability for fraud, or for anything else that cannot legally be limited.
Changes, ending an engagement, governing law
Either of us can end an engagement by saying so in writing before the next billing date. I will hand over what has been produced and will not hold work hostage.
If these terms change, the effective date at the top of this page changes with them. Changes apply from the next billing cycle rather than retroactively, and they do not alter what was already agreed for work in progress.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States.
