Terms of Use

These terms govern use of https://santabarbaramarketingco.com and, when we send a written proposal you accept, the marketing services of Santa Barbara Marketing Co.. If a signed proposal conflicts with this page, the proposal controls for that engagement. Contact hello@santabarbaramarketingco.com with questions.

Services

We provide digital marketing services that may include Local SEO, search engine optimization, Google Ads management, website design and development, conversion work, Google Business Profile support, automation, analytics, and strategy. Scope, timeline, and fees are defined in a written proposal. A free call is complimentary. It is not a promise of rankings, revenue, or a later discount.

We do not guarantee search rankings, Map Pack placement, ad costs, or a volume of leads. Search engines, ad auctions, and your own response time affect outcomes. You remain responsible for the accuracy of business information, license numbers, offers, and claims we are asked to publish.

Payment

Fees, media spend, and payment schedule are stated in the proposal. Media spend for advertising platforms is billed by those platforms to you unless we agree otherwise in writing. Our fee is for management and production, not a markup we hide. Invoices are due as stated. Work may pause if invoices remain unpaid. A free call does not require a credit card.

Intellectual property

You keep ownership of materials you supply (logos, photos, copy, product data). We keep ownership of our pre-existing tools, components, and methods. Upon full payment, you receive a license to use original deliverables produced for you in connection with your business. We may display non-confidential work in our portfolio only with your permission. You may not copy this website’s design or copy as a template for another agency site.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Santa Barbara Marketing Co. is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost leads, or lost data, arising from the site or from services. Our total liability for a paid engagement is limited to the fees you paid us for that engagement in the three months before the claim. Some California rules do not allow certain limitations. Those limitations apply only to the extent allowed.

The website is provided as-is. We are not liable for third-party platforms (Google, hosting, CRMs) going down, changing their products, or suspending a listing for reasons outside our control.

California law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Courts located in Santa Barbara County, California, have exclusive jurisdiction, except where applicable law requires otherwise. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.

We serve businesses in Santa Barbara County. Using the site from elsewhere does not create an office or a street address we have not published.
