SEO blogs are full of ideas about what to do to get rankings but this is an excellent post about how to keep your clients happy.

I completely agree about underpromising and overdelivering. Plus looking for long term clients.

You’ve articulated everything nicely – my thanks!

Many people give up because they do not know how to calculate their return on investment or lack professional assistance.

As an experienced SEO myself I know how time consuming it can be but the search engine results are worth it.

Best Regards,

I couldn’t agree more. So many companies fail to stat their own unique value proposition in their copy.

See this, for example:http://selfmadechick.com/2008/01/06/the-one-word-that-help-my-blog-grow-to-800-subscribers-in-17-weeks/

I think it’s important to be transparent and act your size. It’s harder to differentiate yourself on an image that is false and keep it up than it is to be honest. On a related note, I recently had a prospect get in touch saying that he liked that part of my site/promotion/branding. On a related note, see what Oliver Taco had to say here:

At the core most all business are the same even though their products differ.

I would add: Pick clients with care.

It’s important to recognize when a client is not in your best interests. Bad clients will make you crazy and eat up your valuable time.
