What Does My SEO Company Do With My Money?
Posted on Friday, June 14th, 2019 at 9:32 am
If you could pay Google “X” dollars per month to put your website in that highly-competitive first spot for every search, you would do it. The value of that top-ranked spot, not the amount of work that goes into getting there, is what matters to your business. That being said, there is no one we know at Google that we can pay to get you to the top spot. At the end of the day, all that matters are the results you get from your SEO provider, and we have to work our butts off to move you up the organic search rankings.
Every one of our clients wants to know exactly what they are paying us for on a monthly basis, and our answer will always be “whatever it takes to improve your rankings.” We know if we were at the other end of the call we would say that answer is b.s. However, it is not. There was a time that just filling in meta information could put a webpage at the top. Then tons of links with exact match anchor text, then lots of useless content, then interlinking all your clients, etc, etc, etc. Google changes all the time, so what we need to do to move sites changes all the time as well.
You evaluate your SEO company on your positions and if your “quality” traffic trends up. If you are not getting more cases, you need to work with your digital marketing company to see if you are getting the types of leads you want. You should have working relationship that allows you to promote/SEO the right practice areas to drive the right leads.
The last piece of the puzzle is the uncomfortable piece. Sometimes, it is our clients’ intake departments and processes that are failing. If we work together, we can actually monitor client intake for you, and will help you if necessary. We recently went out to a client’s office to help them with intake. The firm’s close percentage improved by 15% after our weeklong, intensive training. To us, this is what true partners (not vendors like the soda machine filler) do for each other. We do whatever it takes to help our clients succeed. We are your partner in every part of the equation.
SEO Companies Help Drive Traffic to Your Site
SEO companies have specialized experienced helping businesses rank on search engines. SEO experts know what it takes to help bring your website more organic traffic through search engines. An SEO company employs specialists in different areas of search engine optimization, providing a range of services, including developing a customized SEO strategy, auditing your site, and implementing the methods that will help your company reach its goals.
Natural search engine optimization requires time to build sustained traffic-producing outcomes. Once your website has reached the top of Google’s results, you can expect more consistent traffic – and visitors who stay on your site longer – as long as your SEO efforts are maintained.
By targeting the correct keywords on your website and providing value once a visitor lands on it, you can expect quality conversions and a significant amount of inquiries from your target market. The amount of inquiries is directly correlated to how highly your website ranks. An average web user will not go past the first five listings on a search engine results page. This shows how important it is to be in those top spots for your market, and why having an SEO provider gives you an edge over the competition.
SEO is important because of the quality, not just quantity, of your visitors. It helps people who are looking for exactly what you have to offer find you. You want to convey a greater sense of trust for your website and your company – SEO helps you do just that.
SEO Creates More Leads and Potential Sales
When you hire an SEO company, you’re paying them to improve your site by analyzing rankings, tracking conversions, and testing organic/paid traffic. After gathering the data, the SEO experts will refine and retarget their strategy for the best results.
The bottom line is that increased rankings contribute to more traffic, which then leads to more conversions/customers, which ultimately brings in more revenue for your company. Remember that SEO can take some time, but in the long run it will be worth it, as your return on investment will skyrocket.
If you are skeptical to try it out, ask one of the top five ranked companies on Google and see if they feel like the money they are paying for SEO is working or not.
