I consult in the dental industry. Many professionals in this industry are operating in the dark ages when it comes to marketing.
Any ideas about using research tools data to create client interest in dedicating marketing spend on SEO services vs their other current antiquated marketing methods?
I am approaching potential clients to pitch SEO. They aren't necessarily seeking SEO services currently but have a strong marketing budget. I would like to use seomoz tools data about their site and competitors as way to show possibilities/potential of SEO services to gain interest in further discussion of SEO benefits.

Thanks for the help and insight Stephen!

Thanks for the insight. Great point about not putting in too much initial work. Many of these clients that I am speaking of have large budgets but are sending all the spend to yellow pages and mailers but lack any insight to the benefits and return of proper online marketing and conversion.

dentistry is a tough area, and actually making them money will require more than just seo (web dev, converison optimisation etc) so be careful what you sell.
However i find a spreadsheet with keywords against search volume, current position, volume at various rankings mapped back to $ terms per position is a good way to go

You need to have a real knack for direct sales if you want to pursue it. However if you do, in my experience with direct sales, the person who is empowered with having researched the prospect's company and competitive market will be more successful than the person who just uses generic sales tactics.
The trick is to know how much you're willing to do up front without having done any pre-qualification of prospects. Two or three key metrics is probably all that makes sense at that point, with the offer to provide more if there's real interest in going to the next level.

Which URL to use for my campaign?
My outdated CMS redirects from a clean url root domain to an ugly url. Should I use the ugly one to start a my campaign? So when you type in www.site.com it redirects to www.site.com/site/c.leJRIROrEpH/b.5699537/k.BEF4/Home.htm Should I use the url it redirects to when starting a campaign?

OSE vs google webmaster link data
Hiya experts, I am trying to understand the OSE. One thing I noticed is that OSE shows 12 linking root domains to our site. However, google webmasters show more than 90(that have kinks to pages on our site). And these are not new links, some of these date back to Apr 2011. Is there something very obvious I am missing here? Thanks for your help. Regards, Raman.

Does SEOMOZ use Google Search?
I run a Joomla site and have noticed users having a hard time finding what they are looking for. The default Joomla search is lacking and the latest Joomla search component I added is better but still not great. I've always been able to find what I'm looking for on SeoMoz, do you guys use Google Site Search?

Problem with the keyword difficulty tool
sorry if this has been asked/been written about previously, I had a search but couldn't find anything. I am using the keyword difficulty tool to narrow down on some keywords and whilst the % score for each keyword is being displayed, the Google Adwords data is blank. It just shows the animation as if it was pulling the data but after some ten mins or so not data is pulled, just the animation still running. Is there a problem with the tool or does the problem lay at my end? Thanks, Carl
