Terms of Service

Last updated: 13 November 2026

These terms cover this website and the free Ranker Report. If you hire us, a written service agreement and a one-page order form cover the work itself. They take precedence over anything here.

1. Who we are

MainStreetRank is an AI-powered SEO agency headquartered in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Contact: [email protected].

2. The Ranker Report

The report is free, and yours to keep and use however you like, whether or not you ever hire us.

It is generated by scanning the public pages of a website, the same way a search engine crawler does. It needs no login and changes nothing on your site.

Its findings are accurate as of the date it ran. Websites and search engines both change. It covers public on-page signals only, and deliberately does not measure rankings, traffic, profile performance or backlinks, all of which need account access. The report says so on its face.

We provide it for information. Acting on it is your decision, and we're not liable for the outcome of changes you or someone else makes based on it.

Please request reports for websites you own or are authorised to act for.

3. What we don't promise

We do not guarantee search rankings, traffic, leads, or revenue. Nobody who is being straight with you does. Search engines and AI systems are controlled by third parties who change how they work without notice.

What we do commit to is the specific deliverables in your service agreement, and dated, sourced reporting so you can see exactly what changed.

4. If you become a client

The work is governed by a written service agreement and an order form covering scope, price, payment terms, approval process, ownership, hosting and cancellation. In summary, and as set out there in full:

• Nothing is published without your written approval.
• Your domain, website, content and accounts remain yours. We register your domain with your business as the legal owner. Year one is included. Renewals are billed at cost.
• Sites we build are hosted on a provider's free plan in our account, with no hosting fee. If the provider changes its terms while you are a client, we move your site at no cost.
• If you leave, you keep everything. Your site keeps running at no cost. We hand over the domain transfer code and a full copy of the files within 2 business days. Changes after that are yours to make, or we make them at an hourly rate.
• Monthly plans run three months, then month to month, cancellable at the end of any month with no fee. One-time jobs (Website Speed Fix, Google Business Profile Setup, Website) have no contract term.
• Our tools, templates and internal processes remain ours.

5. Using this website

The content, design, text and branding on this site belong to MainStreetRank. You're welcome to read it, quote it with attribution, and share the link. Please don't republish it as your own.

Don't attempt to disrupt the site, access it in an automated or abusive way, or use it for anything unlawful.

6. Third parties

We may link to other websites and tools. We don't control them and aren't responsible for their content or their practices.

7. Liability

This website and the free report are provided as-is. To the extent the law allows, we're not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from using either.

For client work, liability is limited as set out in the service agreement.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada.

9. Changes

We may update these terms and will change the date above when we do. Continuing to use the site means the updated terms apply.

10. Contact

Questions about any of this: [email protected]. We'd rather explain something than have you agree to something you're unsure about.
