Does Your Agency live up to their Sales pitch? #1 Getting lots of traffic but just a trickle of conversions? Your agency might be optimizing for the wrong keywords (and hasn’t changed direction). #2 Does your Search Engine Optimization agency keep you in the loop? You should have regular visibility into how your program is performing against your unique key performance indicators (KPIs). If you aren’t seeing a steady increase in traffic and conversions, your SEO Agency is denying you the potent lead generation you’re paying for. Join Mike Turner, Senior SEO Analyst and Director of Business Development, and learn the telltale signs of an underperforming agency.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Client logos
- How? Content.
- Digital channels CONTINUE to grow in importance not only for consumers but for corporate decision makers. Also worth noting is the RANGE of online sources that are potential influencers and spaces where your competitors may be taking advantage of your inaction.
- Many agencies say that their systems are proprietary... etc. They say this to make what they're doing seem more complex than it is.
- We’re looking at different types of links and a systematic approach to building them. But all of this depends on generating that keyword rich content that we discussed in the last section.
- And here’s an example of a detailed link building report that we provide to our clients. It’s not supposed to be large enough for you to read… just to get a sense of what detailed reporting looks like.[Take out a highlighter?] It has the URL of every backlink, the date created and verified, and more information about the anchor text, linking page, destination URL. In short, it’s far more information than you want. But you can see what our team is doing for your company on a day-by-day basis. We’re not afraid to practice this kind of transparency, because we work hard for our clients. You should demand this of your agency. If they balk, it may be because they’re employing automated tools or cutting corners in the ways we’ve discussed already.
- Mutually agreed upon set of goals that lead back to the P & L… it’s about the execution and implementation.“we made more decisions in 2 days than in the previous 2 years”. – Often, obstacle is implementation, getting people in the same room.
- These were the metrics they wanted to track.
- And these are a few months of results.
- Poll Question is LoadedAnother way we recommend evaluating the success of a campaign for our B2B clients is looking at the average deal value accruing from different keywords, and the conversion rate. With this sort of view, it’s possible to identify the keywords which are the most profitable and deserving the most emphasis. Since there is a dramatic, synergistic effect of having paid search ads (some studies say a 40% increase in clicks) alongside high organic ranking, some top performing keywords may even merit bringing in a paid search strategy on those keywords.
- If you were invited to invest in the stock market, you'd want to know what the potential return would be, and what is the risk. When you're looking at a marketing investment, it should be 3x or 10x for a dollar invested. What is the opportunity. Again, this is something you can MEASURE.
- Here’s a situation where the company is not ranking well at all. These are real rankings for Fairchild Semiconductor, one of the firms that created the semiconductor industry. It just so happens that they have trailed their industry peers since 2008 for a variety of reasons, one of which may be losing market share to firms that recognize the importance of Search In B2B marketing.
- We know this can be daunting…we can meet with you and etc.
- In short, your SEO agency should act like a partner and not like a vendor.They should be asking you for multiple meetings to establish what success would look like.They should be asking what your business goals are 12-24 months out, They should risk upsetting you by proactively make suggestions about optimizing calls to action on your website, They should ask for Webmaster Tools access to check for crawl errors, slow page loading, and other factors that could be impacting either how your site is crawled or indexed, examine your existing backlinks, and monitor messages from Google about your website.They should ask for Google Analytics access to assess how visitors are navigating your company’s website, and which landing pages are performing better.
