Terms of Service

Effective Date: May 20, 2026

Welcome to Sting GMB. We build smart SEO tools and share tested local visibility strategies. By using stinggmb.com, you agree to the rules outlined below. We wrote these terms in plain English because we respect your time. Read them carefully.

You run a business. We run a business. These terms establish the boundaries of our professional relationship.

Acceptance of Terms

Your access to this website constitutes your agreement to these terms. If you disagree with our methods, our rules, or our limitations of liability, close the tab. You do not have permission to use our tools or consume our content if you reject these conditions.

We update these terms occasionally. The local search environment shifts fast. Our business evolves right alongside it. Your continued use of the site after we post changes means you accept the new rules.

Our Content and Intellectual Property

We own the content on Sting GMB. This includes our case studies, our Google Business Profile optimization frameworks, and our citation audit templates. We spent thousands of hours in the trenches testing review velocity impacts and reverse-engineering proximity signals. We publish our findings here.

You can read our work. You can apply our strategies to your own local business or your agency clients. You cannot scrape, copy, or repackage our hard work as your own.

Do not steal our proprietary tool interfaces. Do not copy our exact site architecture. We monitor our intellectual property closely. We protect our assets.

Disclaimer of Warranties

Let us get very clear on how local search actually works. We provide high-resolution data and battle-tested local SEO strategies. We do not guarantee rankings. Nobody can.

Google updates its algorithm constantly. A competitor opens a shop across the street and alters the proximity radius. Your primary category gets saturated with new listings. We give you the tools to cut through the noise. We do not hand you a magic bullet.

Everything on Sting GMB is strictly for informational purposes. We share the exact tactics we use for HVAC contractors in Phoenix and roofers in Dallas. We show you what works in our daily agency operations. We do not offer formal legal, financial, or guaranteed marketing advice.

You apply our methods at your own risk. Your results depend entirely on your execution, your market, and factors outside our control.

Limitation of Liability

Local SEO carries inherent friction. Things break. Listings get flagged. You must accept the reality of operating on a third-party platform like Google.

If you decide to stuff your Google Business Profile name with ten different city modifiers and trigger a hard suspension, that is your operational failure. If you test a new primary category and see a temporary drop in inbound calls, you own that outcome. We take zero responsibility for your lost leads, suspended listings, or drops in map pack visibility.

Under no circumstances will Sting GMB, our founders, or our employees be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from your use of our site. We provide the map. You drive the car. If you crash, you pay for the repairs.

Affiliate Links and Recommendations

We test a massive amount of software. Most of it fails. We reject dozens of tools before finding one that holds up past six months of daily agency use.

When we find a grid tracker, a review management platform, or a local schema generator that actually works, we talk about it. Sometimes we use affiliate links. If you buy through those links, we earn a commission. It costs you nothing extra.

We never recommend garbage just to make a quick buck. Our reputation matters far more than a small referral fee. We only endorse products that sit inside our actual production stack.

User Conduct and Tool Usage

We built Sting GMB for serious business owners and local SEO practitioners. We expect professional behavior. Do not abuse our site infrastructure.

Do not attempt to inject malicious code into our local SEO tools.
Do not run automated scraping bots against our data sets.
Do not spam our comment sections with spun links to your client websites.
Do not attempt to bypass our rate limits or security measures.

We ban offenders instantly. Zero warnings. Zero appeals.

Third-Party Links and Services

Sting GMB contains links to other websites. We link to Google documentation, local search forums, and external tools. We do not control those sites. We are not responsible for their content, their privacy practices, or their sudden changes in pricing.

Clicking an external link takes you out of our ecosystem. You must evaluate the safety and terms of those external sites yourself.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These terms operate under the laws of our home jurisdiction. Any legal disputes regarding Sting GMB will happen here. We prefer to settle disagreements like professionals. We will, however, protect our business aggressively when necessary.

If a court finds any specific clause in these terms unenforceable, the rest of the document remains in full effect. We will simply replace the invalid provision with a valid one that matches our original intent.

Contacting Us

If you have questions about these terms, you can reach out. Visit our contact page and submit your inquiry. A real human reads every message. We typically respond within two business days.

Do not contact us asking for guaranteed ranking timelines. We will ignore those emails.
