SEO is an art not a science and can never be guaranteed, despite some website owner’s frustration, ideas otherwise, here is an example of how a website owner could be frustrated by a SEO company which although expert at their job cannot guarantee success. In general past performance should be used as a measure of future success but is by no means a set in stone certainty.
Its also a constant frustration for website desigers / SEO companies when we get asked to ‘get me to the first page of Google’ as this is a meaningless metric, a more measurable / favourable and realistic goal would be to increase organic traffic over a 6 month period by 20%.
[Website Owner] I have hired an SEO Specialist Company in the past and after 3 months of SEO work, the website traffic has stayed static and perhaps even decreased. We had not a single call, email or booking from our website. Can you guarantee that thanks to your website / SEO work we will get more business? So can you get me on the first page of Google?
Can you guarantee that thanks to your SEO work I will get:
- Increased website traffic
- Increased email enquiries
- Increased calls from potential customers asking for quotes
I want my phone to ring at least 10 times per day with people asking me to give them a quote. Can you do that? If I’m going to spend money, I want to make a good Return on Investment. I need you to guarantee that thanks to your SEO work I will make more money? And if yes, how much more calls will I get? Please can you simply give me a short answer. I don’t need to read all the technical gibberish. What if you will not be able to deliver on your promise like the other SEO “specialist”? Will you pay all the money back?
