HOW TO MAINTAIN A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN- ‘A SEO AGENCY & A CLIENT’

HOW TO MAINTAIN A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN- A SEO
AGENCY A CLIENT

• It was a long and extensive process to find the
  right SEO agency to lead your charge into the
  digital marketing area. The most profitable
  relationships between agency and client happen
  when there is a team mentality, rather than a
  transactional mentality.

This Blog was somewhat inspired by one of the
SEO clients.

• We realized that the characteristics wed look
  for in a great SEO client would not be things
  like just listen to us and take our word for
  everything. It would simply be a company that is
  really looking to build a long-term and
  worthwhile relationship with the agency. As
  youve hired us to do a very specific job, and
  were going to do everything we can to make sure
  we see successful results. However, greater
  success always comes when there is a solid, team
  foundation between the client and agency pushing
  things forward.

Some few ways to build better relationship
between SEO Agency clients

• Communicate about your goals
• Communication is a shared street. You can tell
  your SEO team what you expect, but you should
  also listen to the things they have to say. They
  may be able to help you set some other goals that
  will have a direct and fast impact on your ROI.
• Be presently open-minded and transparent
• We need to understand your business in great
  detail. This will help you to determine which
  strategies will be the most effective for your
  situation. As we will be open and clear about the
  strategies we are implementing so you know what
  is going on at any time in the campaign.

• Stay in touch
• Its important that you respond to communication
  from your agency in a timely manner. Otherwise,
  you may end up bottlenecking some of your
  potential progress or missing an important
  opportunity. Sending monthly reports which have
  all the important information relevant to your
  campaign sets the best strategies and develops a
  plan. The best relationships are built on trust,
  and youre going to have to trust your agency to
  do their job.
• Treat your agency like a member of the team, not
  as an earning transaction
• If youre really treating your online marketing
  company like a member of the team, youll include
  them in the decision-making process of anything
  that involves your website, social media, or
  other marketing endeavors. Youve hired your SEO
  team because of our skills and experience in this
  industry.

• Always remember that we both want the best
  conclusion
• SEO is not just about rankings. Its about
  conversion. Its about incorporating social
  media. Its about targeting the audience that is
  ready to make a purchase.
• Relationships are never easy as it takes effort,
  theres no easy way around it.
• In this case, we have an agency and a client
  coming into the situation from two very different
  backgrounds. Its going to take some time for
  personalities to mesh and for those entire little
  traits to appear so that you can work through
  them together. More than that one-sided
  relationship is going to fail. Each party has
  something to bring to this relationship, and when
  they come together and realize they can both
  contribute to the success of the campaign, thats
  when youll see real changes happen..

• The Goal of a Successful Client-Agency
  Relationship
• The goal of this relationship on both sides is to
  meet your online marketing goals, work more
  efficiently, and develop an understanding and
  trust for each other. As a SEO agency, we are
  going to be doing our part to increase your
  rankings, streamline your website structure, and
  develop your social media presence. As our SEO
  client, were going to need to you participate in
  very specific parts of this campaign in order to
  keep things running smoothly.
• How to be the most outstanding understanding
  Client
• Lets be completely clear about the above
  statement. This isnt about being a good client
  for our benefit. Were not saying that clients
  have any obligation to interact with us in a
  certain way. We are saying that there are two
  sides to every equation, and the best clients
  know that when they bring something else to the
  equation, there is a much better chance to see
  positive results.

The continued success and growth of your company.

• We find that one of the most common breakdowns in
  communication happen when a client insists that
  success can only come from ranking one or two
  specific keywords. The SEO Company will keep
  pushing the idea that overall traffic growth and
  increased conversion rate are far more important,
  but thats not what the client wants to hear.
  They came into this expecting to pay start
  showing up higher in Google for specific terms.
  Theyve paid for those specific results and want
  nothing less.
• We may initially have different perspectives on
  how to achieve the best results, but by working
  together like a team and listening to the advice
  and concerns from each side, youll start to see
  real and sustainable results. Click here to learn
