Some SEO Companies Aren’t Protecting Their Own
Are you getting ripped off by your SEO and SEM Provider?
Have you found yourself paying an exorbitant amount for SEO only to find that the company you've hired to handle your optimization is working for your competition as well? Has this left you feeling lost in the crowd of your fellow competitors?
If you've never considered this, you should. Many SEO and SEM groups will cater to a specific market without regard to their actual clients. From even the most basic perspective, this is counterproductive. If you are trying to get higher in the ranks than your opponent(and they trying to get higher than you), ho wins with you both competing at the same optimization vendor?...
That's Right! The vendor wins twice! With both of you paying for his services, the effective outcome is for both clients to dole out more money and resources than needed and have a virtual stalemate as a result. Unfortunately, this is one of the main reasons people are left with a bitter taste in their mouths about SEO.
I'm writing this post today in response to a SPAM comment left on our site. It read "why not handle your own SEO before telling others about it?'. I did some further research of the IP and found that it was written by an individual upset with the progress we've made with one of his former clients page rank. I can understand that there may be some frustration with a competing group giving better results to his former client, but I don't think he understands why.
At Naper Design, we have chosen to only handle One Customer, Per Industry, Per Location. We have only one Dentist in Naperville that we impart SEO for, There is only on Interior Designer in the Naperville area that we are employed by. Yes, this does limit our clientele, but the reward is worth it. Not only are we relieved of the burden of apposing clients, our portfolio shows a dedicated practice to a satisfied client.
Like all sales, marketing, and business, everything comes down to a simple questions:
- Will I provide the best quality service to a long term and valued client, or will I grab a mass of clients I don't care about and give them sub-par results?
