Have these people even asked you about YOUR business, what YOUR needs are or what YOU might be trying to accomplish? Each business in unique with different needs.
What if you have list of current customers that you could tap into – don’t need SEO for that. You need some good email marketing.
Maybe you are getting some leads but aren’t making many sales. Well then you need to focus on finding a way to find a way to convert them better.
Let’s say you do want a greater presence on the internet – more leads and more customers. What “SEO” methods are you going to use. There are many types; link building, video marketing, article marketing, social media, on-page and off page optimization … just to name a few. Makes your head spin, doesn’t it?
Are all methods appropriate for all business types – NO! What happens once you get on top of the search engines? Is it enough to drive people to your web page and expect leads, well not if your website it not optimized to capture leads.
