📋 Refund Eligibility Overview

Search Atlas Implementation services include a performance guarantee. If your site rankings decline after the Implementation team takes over, you may be eligible for a goodwill refund. Refund amounts are determined on a case-by-case basis by leadership and typically reflect a percentage of your total Implementation spend.

⚖️ How Refund Decisions Are Made

Refund requests are reviewed by the support team and escalated to leadership for approval. Factors considered include the scope of work performed, duration of service, ranking changes before and after implementation, and the terms of the Success Guarantee. Initial offers may include platform credits, but cash refunds can be approved as a goodwill gesture when credits are declined.

🚫 Common Blockers to Refund Processing

Even after a refund is approved, it cannot be processed if an active payment dispute or chargeback exists with your bank or payment provider. The dispute must be withdrawn or resolved before the refund can be issued. If you have filed a dispute, contact your bank to close it, then notify support so the refund can proceed.

  2. Open the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the platform and type human teammate to connect with support.
  3. Provide your account details, Implementation service dates, and ranking evidence.
  4. Support will escalate to leadership for review and communicate the decision.
  5. If approved, ensure no active payment disputes exist so the refund can be processed.
