New business acquisition for digital agencies from SEO and CRO
-
I have a nice simple question to ask all you mozzers out there, specifically if you work for a web design/digital agency.
Does your agency get any new business clients through your SEO and CRO efforts?
I'm asking this to try and build up a qualitative data set.
I am responsible for all SEO and CRO at our agency for all clients along with our own website.
Having increased traffic by over 200% in the last 12 months, and obtaining page one of Google for all our targeted keywords, we are still without any new business or ROI.
We are fortunate enough to get a lot of great clients via word of mouth, a great sales team and client retention, I'd really like to know what the bigger picture is here?
If I get enough data back, I'll make it into my first Youmoz post and share all the data with everyone :¬)
I've now added a survey so you answer anonymously: There are only 5 questions in all, your time is greatly appreciated.

Any feedback gladly welcomed.
Regards
Sean

Afternoon Elias. I've added a link to the survey now :¬)
Many Thanks

That's a damn fine point Elias, and certainly an oversight on my behalf.
I'll definitely do the survey monkey survey, as I understand people not wanting to share this kind of data. I'll share the link Elias once I'm happy with the questions {probably tomorrow now}
Thanks again Elias

All the best with collecting the data!
The only thing about people not needing to say which agency they represent is that the company name appears next to responses.
And there are could be some prying competitors lurking
Anyway, I'd be happy to help out with your research so if you do set up a survey - send me a link!

Thanks Elias,
A survey is a great idea actually, I could set one up with survey monkey.
I'll wait and see what responses I get through in the first week first. Hopefully they will be honest, as I don't need to know what the agency is.
Personally I think we could all benefit from this kind of qualitative data set, and it needn't stop at agencies. But i think I'll try walking before I run :¬)
Thanks for your feedback Elias, greatly appreciated.

Hey Yozzer!
It will be interesting to see your research. Although I doubt you will get many honest responses in the Q&A. You might want to set up a survey for mozzers to complete anonymously.
I'd imagine that most business for most agencies will come from word of mouth. People that are happy with your service to the extent of recommending you are always going to be more likely to provide qualified leads. Essentially the sale has already been made by the person recommending you.
Looking forward to your YouMoz post!

Build a site, do SEO work on it and sell it?
Does anybody do this? With success? I keep finding industries right here in my local area (concrete work, home security, painting) that have 4-5 local companies that are competing and NONE of them are doing even the most BASIC items to seo their site or capitalize on ANYTHING online. I could pick 7-8 of these industries and have somebody who works for me spend a couple hours a week on each building links and writing a half way interesting blog post, etc. and once they rank higher than most of the competition sell em for 2-3 grand I bet, especially since I can prove how much traffic they are getting. Thoughts? Thanks for weighing in. Matthew

SEO hosting (EU/Spanish IP's) any1?
Hello all, I'm currently trying to find a great hosting company which can offer a fast and stable service and more important, with the possibility of geolocalizing IP's of Europe and concretely for Spain. I've found Ixwebhosting but they only offer US Ip's, as their datacenters are there. I don't know if it's the same thing outside spain, but here the hosting companies only use to have a single "C-class" range so even buying them different IP's doesn't help that much, and it isn't cheap (2€/month/ip...). So if you know someone offering what I'm looking for (or really close to it) drop a line, I'll appreciate your help! 🙂

Hire single SEO & SEM person or hire separate people?
I've been moved to a busines development part of the business but I'm still in charge of all of our SEO and SEM. I was only an advanced beginner to begin with but our needs have grown. I'm not sure whether to contract with one or two people. Can someone be extremely well versed in all things SEO and SEM or is it better to get two people on board that might serve as a better sounding board? While they certainly work together, both are a constant moving target and it requires us to stay on top of trends and white hat policies of all the major players. My worst nightmare is to get someone that tries to game the system and screws up our rankings long term.

Is it smart to reveal your clients and projects in the Q&A forum? What about on your own SEO blog?
On one hand it seems like having my cake and eating it too: blogging about SEO using my clients as case studies in order to give them a couple backlinks. On the other hand it seems like asking for it from Google or from competitors. Got any advice? And what of mentioning actual domains and brand names when asking questions here in the forum? One one hand it seems like I'd get more specific advice, on the other hand, once again, it seems like it comes with some amount of risk. Any advice? Thanks!
