Disclaimer.

General disclaimer

The information, materials, and content provided on this website and through my courses and services are intended for educational and informational purposes only. They are not a substitute for professional judgment, legal advice, financial advice, medical advice, or any other regulated professional service.

While I make every effort to ensure the content is accurate and current as of the date of publication, digital marketing is a fast-moving field. Platforms, algorithms, and best practices change frequently. What works today may not work tomorrow.

Educational content

Course content, blog posts, podcasts, YouTube videos, and the 200-page course book are educational resources designed to help you build skills in digital marketing, SEO, and e-commerce growth.

However, learning the concepts is only one part. Results depend on:

• How thoroughly you practise the concepts
• The business, market, and niche you apply them to
• Your prior experience, skills, and effort
• Real-world conditions that are outside my control
• Platform changes (Google, Meta, Amazon, etc.) that happen frequently

No earnings or income guarantee

You may see case studies, student stories, or income examples on this website, in my podcast, or in YouTube videos. These are real outcomes from real students or clients, but they are not typical, expected, or guaranteed results.

Your individual results will depend on factors like:

• Your background, skills, work ethic, and consistency
• The economic environment and job market in your area
• Your ability to network, sell yourself, and follow through
• Your willingness to put in the practical work, not just attend classes
• External factors I cannot influence

Any references to "students earning X" or "clients achieving Y" should be read as illustrative examples, not promises of similar outcomes.

Marketing results

For clients hiring me or Search Extension for marketing services:

• I do not guarantee specific rankings, page-1 positions, or featured snippet wins
• I do not guarantee specific ROAS, CPL, or conversion volume
• I do not guarantee any specific timeline for SEO results — rankings depend on many factors including Google's algorithm
• I do not guarantee that paid ad campaigns will be profitable, especially in the first 30-60 days while data is being collected

What I do guarantee is that I'll work with industry best practices, communicate transparently, share real data, and tell you honestly when something isn't working. Past performance — mine or my clients' — does not guarantee future results.

Testimonials & reviews

All testimonials on this website and on my Google Business Profile (5.0 ★ with 29 reviews at the time of writing) are from real students or clients. However:

• The testimonials reflect each individual's personal experience, which is unique to them
• Some testimonials may be edited lightly for clarity or length, without changing the substance
• Names may be shortened or anonymised where the person has requested privacy
• Case study stats (DA changes, ROAS lifts, lead volumes, etc.) are accurate to the best of my recollection but represent specific cases — not typical or expected results for all clients

Third-party platforms

My courses and services teach how to use third-party platforms including but not limited to: Google Search, Google Ads, Google Merchant Center, Google Analytics, Meta Ads, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp Business, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter/X, Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, Flipkart Seller Hub, WordPress, Canva, Adobe Photoshop, Ahrefs, SEMrush, Mailchimp, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and others.

I am not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of these platforms. All trademarks, logos, and brand names are the property of their respective owners.

Platform features, policies, pricing, and best practices can change at any time. While I update curriculum and approach as platforms evolve, there may be a delay between a platform change and an update in my materials.

External links

This website may contain links to third-party websites, tools, articles, or services for educational or reference purposes. I do not control these external sites and am not responsible for:

• The content, accuracy, or reliability of external sites
• Privacy practices on those sites
• Any losses or damages from your use of those sites
• Changes that occur after I link to them

Some links may be affiliate links that earn me a small commission if you sign up — this is always disclosed where relevant. Affiliate relationships do not influence my recommendations; I only recommend tools I actually use myself.

Trademarks

"Search Extension" is the brand name of my agency. The Shanu Quraishi logo and visual identity are protected.

References to other brand names, product names, logos, or trademarks (such as Google, Meta, Shopify, Amazon, Flipkart, etc.) are for descriptive and educational purposes only and remain the property of their respective owners.

Not professional advice

Information shared on this website, in courses, or during consultations is general digital marketing knowledge and is not a substitute for:

• Legal advice — consult a lawyer for matters involving compliance, contracts, intellectual property, or regulatory issues
• Financial advice — consult a CA or financial advisor for tax, GST, business structure, or investment decisions
• Technical engineering advice — complex website or infrastructure decisions should involve qualified developers and architects

I may share opinions on these topics from a marketing perspective, but they are not professional legal, financial, or engineering advice.

Personal opinions

The blog posts, podcast episodes, YouTube videos, and social media content represent my personal opinions and observations at the time of publication.

These opinions:

• Reflect my personal experience and what I've seen work in my own client engagements
• May not apply to your specific business, market, or situation
• Are not endorsements of any specific person, brand, product, or company unless explicitly stated
• May change over time as I learn more or as the industry evolves

If you read or watch something here and decide to act on it, that decision is yours. I encourage you to think critically, do your own research, and adapt advice to your context.

AI-generated content

I occasionally use AI tools (such as ChatGPT) to help with drafting blog posts, social media captions, course outlines, or research summaries. When I do, the final output is always reviewed, edited, and approved by me personally before publishing.

My YouTube videos, podcast episodes, course lectures, and live training sessions are not AI-generated — that's me speaking, presenting, and teaching directly.

Errors & omissions

This website and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While I aim for accuracy, I make no warranties or representations regarding:

• The completeness or accuracy of the information at all times
• The site being free from errors, bugs, or interruptions
• The site being available without downtime
• The applicability of advice to every individual situation

If you spot a factual error or outdated information, please email me at ask@shanuquraishi.com — I genuinely appreciate the heads-up.

Questions? Just ask.

If anything in this disclaimer is unclear, or you want clarification on what's realistic to expect from a course or service engagement — reach out before signing up. I'd rather have an honest conversation upfront than disappoint you later.
