Do You Have a Bad SEO Company, or Are You Just a Bad Client?
I admit it, our SEO services are pretty bad. Speaking of bad, the Beatles couldn’t sing a tune, John Grisham has never written a decent novel, Dell makes crappy computer’s, TiVo’s and iPods suck, the Lord of the Rings movies lacked imagination and video killed the radio star. (OK, that last one might actually be true!) Do you see where this is going? To somebody, one or more of the above statements are true. Not to the vast majority, but some people do feel that way. No matter what the product or service there will always be those that are dissatisfied. Have you ever heard of a company with a 100% customer satisfaction rate (outside of their own marketing gibberish)? I haven’t. There have been a number of blog and forum posts and articles recently about what to do if you’re with a bad SEO company. All good advice, but sometimes it’s not the SEO that’s bad, its the client. Yeah, that’s right, sometimes the client’s are just plain clueless, have unreasonable expectations, or fall prey to the “grass is greener” scenario presented by competition. Yes, sometimes clients are bad. It’s Not You, It’s Me! Like every other company, product and service on the planet, search engine optimization firms will always have dissatisfied clients. Our firm has a significant number of very satisfied clients since 1998. We have also had a handful of clients that walked away dissatisfied with our services. I’m sure the same is true with every other SEO company out there. Does that make them bad SEOs? No, not automatically. Can good SEOs sometimes produce bad results for their clients? Absolutely. Happens all the time. Let me give you a few examples. We worked with one client for more than a few years. In the early phases of their campaign they selected some really poor keywords. We let them know this but they were insistent that we move forward. We were able to get most of their keywords ranked very well on the search engines, but as we suspected, sales did not increase. Every few weeks the client would call us asking if there was anything else that can be done to increase sales. We often made suggestions on how to improve their site along with recommending they change their optimized keywords. The site improvements they considered and often made. They keyword changes were considered but never approved. Eventually they left us. If you want to learn more about Saint Louis Search Engine Optimization, the internet is the best option.
