About these terms
1.1 What they cover
These terms cover your use of the A1 Local public website and its free tools. The rank checker and saved account at app.a1local.com.au have separate app terms. If you ask us to do paid work, we will agree on its scope, timing and price separately in writing before starting. That agreement controls the details of the paid work.
1.2 Earlier website projects
An existing signed website proposal or agreement continues under its own terms. This page does not change a price, payment schedule, ownership arrangement or other term already agreed for that project. New website enquiries are directed to SMB Sites.
Free public tools
2.1 What the tools do
The free tools give you information and starting points. The Local Keyword Finder shows Google Ads search estimates and approximate click prices for your area; they are estimates, not a promise of traffic or enquiries. The Category Finder, Place ID Finder and review link tool show public Google Business Profile information. The live Google Maps rank check runs in the separate A1 Local app.
2.2 Using an output
Check that any phrase or location describes your real business before using it. Tool outputs are starting points for your own decisions, not a promise of search visibility, enquiries or a particular business result. The website tools do not create an account or keep a saved workspace; copy or download an output if you want to keep it.
2.3 Availability
We may maintain, change or withdraw a free tool. We will describe its current capability honestly on the page. If a tool fails, please let us know so we can investigate.
Google Business Profile services
3.1 Agreeing the work
We can help with an eligible Google Business Profile, including setup, profile improvements and a practical review-request routine. Before paid work begins, we will agree in writing on what we will do, when, the price and any ongoing arrangement. Enquiring through this website does not place an order or authorise a charge.
3.2 Your information and approval
Please provide accurate business details, suitable access and timely feedback. You remain responsible for confirming that information published for your business is accurate and that you have permission to use supplied text, images and other material. We will seek your approval for material changes to your profile.
3.3 Google controls its platform
Google decides profile eligibility, verification, suspension, display and ranking. We can help you prepare and respond, but cannot promise approval, reinstatement, a search position or a number of enquiries. We do not offer purchased reviews, incentives for reviews or selective requests designed to hide negative feedback.
Rights and responsibilities
4.1 Your material
Your business name, profile, domain, brand assets and material you supply remain yours or their rightful owner’s. Any rights in work we create for a paid engagement will be set out in its written agreement; these website terms do not transfer them.
4.2 Australian Consumer Law
Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these terms removes or limits a right or remedy that cannot lawfully be removed or limited. Please contact us if something we have supplied is not right so we can address it.
4.3 Privacy
Our privacy policy explains how we handle website enquiries, analytics and information used in a service engagement. Tools that look up Google data send your inputs to our app as the privacy policy describes. Choosing Check ranking beside a search carries that phrase into the separate rank-checking app.
Questions and changes
5.1 Contacting us
Contact A1 Local at hello@a1local.com.au with a question about a free tool or service. For paid work, we will address changes to scope, price or timing in writing with the people responsible for that engagement.
5.2 Updating these website terms
We may update these public website terms as the tools and services change. A later website update does not by itself change an existing written client agreement.
