gives them the opportunity to review existing
performance, identify problems that need to

the agency and client, so techniques used to

services, relevant links will come from other
finance-related sites, blogs, organizations, etc.

acquired naturally. In other words, it shouldn’t
be a link that you paid for or gained in any
other way that benefitted the linking website.

25. SOCIAL MEDIA REVIEW

26. SOCIAL MEDIA REVIEW
• This will involve an audit of how social media
is currently being used and should show any
gaps or opportunities that are not being
utilized.
• With many social media channels being key
platforms in which to distribute and share
content (both paid for and organically), an SEO
agency should be able to advise on where a
client should be investing in the social space.

27. STRATEGY AND DIRECTION
• Following the keyword identification, competitor
benchmarking and review of existing technical
SEO and content, the agency will be in a position
to provide a detailed recommendation of the SEO
strategy and direction the client should follow.
• The strategy and direction the agency proposes
should align with the client’s high-level goals and
objectives as well as the business philosophy (e.g.
rank well at all costs vs. white hat approach to
SEO).

28. STRATEGY AND DIRECTION
Knowing why you’re doing
what you’re doing (your mission)
where you’re trying to go (your vision)
how you’re going to go about it (your values)
are the glue that holds an organization
together.
It is an essential part to building your strategic
foundation and developing a strategy.

29. Planning, reporting and forecasting
• Once the strategy and direction have been
agreed, the SEO agency should provide a view on
how they will forecast performance based on the
plans they will put in place and how they will
report on performance on a weekly and monthly
basis.
There should be an overview of:
• Alignment to business goal and objectives
• Main SEO KPIs and metrics
• Analytics tools and processes
