Every SEO professional dreads this\u00a0seemingly unpreventable conversation.\u00a0It’s about 3-4 months into your client’s SEO campaign, and deep down inside you can sense it coming. Then, the phone rings. It’s your client and they want to “talk”. They are worried,\u00a0and overly anxious about the campaign’s progress. They’ve already forgotten everything you’ve told them about time and progress. They want results, and they want them today!<\/p>\n

The Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This graph should serve as a reminder to your clients that SEO doesn’t happen overnight, in a week, or in a couple months. It takes time. Your client must commit and have faith; otherwise, the campaign is doomed. So,\u00a0from now on add the below graph to your contracts, or at least have it available sales meetings,<\/strong> because managing your clients expectations is Agency 101.<\/p>\n

The Slope of SEO<\/h2>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

Obviously there are many things you can do to better manage you client’s expectations. But visuals always seem to sink in and work the best. So use this “Slope of SEO” graph as often as you can so you can not only sign new clients, but resign them as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Every SEO professional dreads this\u00a0seemingly unpreventable conversation.\u00a0It’s about 3-4 months into your client’s SEO campaign, and deep down inside you can sense it coming.
