Bureau 24, its owner and employees have been involved in the technologies industry for a long time. We believe it is important for every SEO company to support a Code of Ethics. We would like to thank Bruce Clay for putting forth the effort of spreading good ethics throughout the SEO industry.
Over the years myself and the employees of Bureau 24 have seen a lot. We have all seen good and bad business practices, out right scams and so on. While, many people have sought to take advantage of uninformed consumers, Bureau 24 has conducted its business a different way. Instead of preying on ignorance we seek to inform. Instead of taking advantage, we seek to do it right, even if it takes more time, more effort or more money. Therefore, Bureau 24 adheres to the following code of ethics:
