          Typically, our SEO questions are around "how to's" and etc. So, to change it up I will ask a business question: What is your biggest selling point when presenting your SEO services to a new client?

          In a spirit of transparency, I will tell you mine ahead of time. With PPC, TV, Radio, and Print at some point in time that ad comes to an end. When it ends, that is it. There is no residual from that advertisement - or very minimal at best. With SEO, once you are ranked well and well optimized you continue to get clients for a much longer period of time.

          With clients who TV and print, this rings especially true and is easily provable. I can't wait to hear yours.

              I am also of the opinion that Link Building is the main argument in favor of my client. Currently my attention is focused on the development of the mcpecube project. I also agree that Links embedded in content relevant to the topic of the linked page are more valuable.

                In my view, the cornerstone of our client's strategy lies in the realm of link building. Presently, my focus is dedicated to the development of the "water pool" project on https://apkinu.com/minecraft-apk-download/. This endeavor holds great significance as it aligns with our client's goals and objectives.

                Google now prioritizes the quality of backlinks over the quantity. Links embedded in content relevant to the linked page's topic are more valuable.

                  "The Biggest SEO Selling Point: Transforming Online Presence for Unprecedented Success"

                  In today's digital landscape, achieving online success isn't just about having a website – it's about standing out, driving traffic, and converting visitors into loyal customers. That's where the comprehensive SEO strategy comes in. The standout feature is the commitment to delivering results that transcend mere rankings.

                  • Holistic Approach: Just don't focus on keywords and rankings. The SEO strategy encompasses every facet of the online presence. From website optimization and content enhancement to authoritative link building and user experience refinement, to create a holistic strategy that ensures website not only ranks high but also captivates and converts target audience.

                  • Customization and Innovation: One size doesn't fit all in SEO. Take the time to understand unique business goals, industry landscape, and audience preferences. Innovative strategies are tailor-made to ensure not just keeping up but leading the pack in niche.

                  • Data-Driven Decisions: Decisions are powered by data, not guesswork. Through cutting-edge analytics tools, continuously track, analyze, and refine the strategies to adapt to the dynamic digital environment. This approach guarantees that every move made is backed by solid insights, leading to continuous improvement and growth.

                  • Transparency and Communication: Believe in transparency. Deliver regular updates and detailed reports on website's progress. Stay open to communication ensuring always in the loop about the implementing strategies and the achieving results.

                  • Long-Term Vision: Focus isn't just on short-term gains. Building a sustainable online presence that reaps benefits for years to come. Strategies are designed to weather algorithm changes and industry shifts, ensuring success remains steadfast.

                  • Measurable ROI: Understand that investment in SEO needs to yield tangible results. Track record speaks for itself – consistently help clients increase organic traffic, boost conversions, and elevate their bottom line.

                  Remember to tailor selling points to agency's strengths, to the specific needs of clients, and the unique benefits that can be delivered.

                  Warm Regards

                      Link building is the main selling point in my perspective for my client. Currently, I'm working on thehomebeasts.com project of water pool for my client.

                        Good answer Dan, thanks. I have used the screenshot of where their business ranks on that name as well and it is good. One thing I avoid is ever using their computer to show them rankings for anything so as to not pull rankings influenced by their searches.

                        Thanks

                          Hey, thought I'd chime in! Those are all great ways of selling SEO.

                          I try to show the prospect a real pain point in their specific situation.

                          For example, for one local business I actually took a screenshot of a search for their brand, where they were not even showing up, and printed it and brought it to them. When they saw a search for their own business didn't even bring a result, that was motivating!

                          Or I'll do a really quick competitive analysis (nothing very scientific, just a real good guess at a desired keyword) and find where they don't rank well but a competitor does, and show them that.

                          Or, if a slightly more tech savvy prospect, I'll find a few things really wrong with the website, some 404s or crawlability issues.

                          If you can present these things in a way where you don't alarm people too much but generate that reaction of "wow, we need to do something about this". Present them in a way where you're also helping, educating and can provide a solution.

                          So my angle sometimes isn't "here's why SEO is important" it's "here's why YOU need SEO".

                          -Dan

                            Thanks James, all three are good points.

                            In sales training, we called the first one the moment of need. When a person sees your business at the moment that is an issue, they are likely to explore and buy from you. So sales people should be forever knocking as that need is not static. 
                            The second one is great as well, especially for those who don't like to think of "Selling" their services. Based on research, more people by far and those with higher education by far choose organic placements versus  paid search. (last I saw was 7.5 to 1 better CTR).

                              Hi Robert, that is a really interesting selling point for SEO as a practice. I think it is quite surprising the number of individuals who won't sell SEO services because it feels cheap. My feeling is that this is a business like any other and provided we are offering a high-quality service, educating clients and managing their expectations SEO should be sold.

                              Here are some of the major selling points that we use when pitching to clients...

                              • Getting your products and services in front of prospective customers at the moment they are actively looking for (or at least thinking about looking for) whatever it is you offer
                              • SEO is subtle and doesn't interrupt - you're not stopping them from doing something like a TV, radio or print ad does, you are assisting them in their problem solving quest. (related to the first point but this one is a clear comparison of SEO vs other marketing methods).
                              • Build trust and credibility in your industry - this point can certainly be debated but we remind clients that with other forms of marketing you are simply buying attention whereas with SEO (and the peripheral activities) you are earning and building trust. Ranking #1 organically for an important term can be beneficial to your business beyond the traffic it provides.

                              Hope that helped - I'm interested to hear others thoughts also.

                                Anyone know of any forums for agencies or those individuals engaged in Internet Marketing, SEO, Integrated Marketing, etc.?

                                Moz.com is the best forum I have been a part of. There is a local forum I really like but spend less time on (we have staff who live on it.) I am interested in a forum where everyone is agency related. Does anyone know of a good one? If not, would anyone have an interest?

                                A suggestion to SEOs that cold call potential clients

                                Learn some basic salesmanship.  Do you realize that business owners are getting 3-4 phone calls and emails a day from other SEOs claiming to be the best?  Be polite, ask questions, and don't insult me or yourself through ignorance.  Ask questions.  You might just discover that we could work together. When you tell me that I'm not ranking for "competitive keywords" it tells me that you don't know what I'm trying to rank for.  When you tell me you can get me to the top of Google in 3 months or less, you're still telling me that you don't know my business and what I want from my website.  Who said I wanted national ranking anyway?  Oh right, not me because you never asked. And if I answer the question "Do you want more business/leads?" with "No." Then politely end the conversation and move on. The rare time that I do get asked about my current efforts, don't insult me by calling me an amateur.  I may be one, but talking down to me, or trying to make SEO sound like you're turning lead into gold will get a quick hang up from me. If you want a contract with me, learn to negotiate based on my needs, not your process that you feel married to.  There are a lot of business owners out there that would be willing to work with you if you treated you leads with respect rather than iteration 23 of your cold call script. And in response to the person this morning that sent a "free report" of basic SEO fixes for my website, make sure you put that report together using **my website. ** I know you're working from a template, so it should be really easy to remove the info from the wedding company and the lawyer's webpages before you email it to me.

                                Product Schema - Not supported if you don't actually sell the product online...

                                Based on this answer from Google, http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=146750 you can't use the product schema if a customer has to make the purchase offline or at another retailer. Does anyone know why they set it up this way? Has anyone ever tried to use product markup on a website when the product is purchased offline? Also, is there another solution or another markup that would apply? Thanks!

                                Recommended marketplace for SEO

                                Hi Mozzers! With the shut down of the SEOMoz marketplace what are some other resources for finding people to help with SEO tasks? Craigslist seems like the best resource for this, but are there any other good ones?

                                Node.js for SEO

                                We've got a client building a site using node.js (http://nodejs.org/) I'm not at all familiar with this and of course need to know how nodejs impacts SEO?   Are you familiar with it?  Any sites you know of using it?  But as I said, bottom line - how will it impact the SEO on the site?

                                Hire single SEO & SEM person or hire separate people?

                                I've been moved to a busines development part of the business but I'm still in charge of all of our SEO and SEM. I was only an advanced beginner to begin with but our needs have grown. I'm not sure whether to contract with one or two people. Can someone be extremely well versed in all things SEO and SEM or is it better to get two people on board that might serve as a better sounding board? While they certainly work together, both are a constant moving target and it requires us to stay on top of trends and white hat policies of all the major players. My worst nightmare is to get someone that tries to game the system and screws up our rankings long term.

                                Do "big" SEO companies remove links after termination of service?

                                Or worded differently: Has anyone heard of "big" SEO companies removing links after termination of service? I have a client who isn't particularly happy with the SEO he's getting from a big Aussie SEO firm, and he wants to terminate, however they've built thousands of links for him and he's a little concerned they might all get pulled. Has anyone heard of this happening, or; Do you think this is a legitimate concern? I think its physically possible to remove backlinks like this because it seems the SEO firm in question is building links by using other client's websites. I also wonder if they might have large content farm style sites where they place links for clients which might be quite easy to take down. Please discuss!
