Helping Your Clients Visualize The Benefits Of Seo
The problem is the fact that few really know what SEM (Search Engine Marketing) is and how beneficial their services are to a potential client. Sometimes it might be very hard to explain to those who are not familiar with the SEO industry, what is it that you can do for them. Once you’ve reeled in the interest of a potential client, how do you explain SEM to them? What is the process? How can you help them visualize what SEM will do for them? Most importantly, how can they see results from your services? SEM is not rocket science but understanding what a Google Algorithm is and how it affects their page rank might be a bit overwhelming to them. Here are a few key points to go over with your client: 1. Don’t focus on what, but rather why. Explain why a website needs SEO and SEM to be successful. It might be good to have examples of past clients where you can show them a chart of increased traffic and conversions. Telling clients “why” turn into “what” but can reinforce the benefits of SEM in your clients’ minds first. 2. Present a customized list of the services you offer that targets their website and / or niche business. Telling them about extra services wastes their valuable time and actually takes away from the impact of your most useful information. If they have questions about other services, they will ask. Make them feel it is not just a generic list but more of an observation you made for their specific website. Go through the list one by one and explain how you think each item is important and beneficial for the prospective client 3. Do a prior analysis of the current website and go over a few things you would suggest that would increase the visibility of their site that they are not already doing. You don’t have to talk about everything you found but enough so that they see you have found things that they have not thought about themselves. Do not make them feel that what they have been doing is wrong, just focus on what they could be doing to optimize their site more effectively. 4. If your prospective client doesn’t have a website, point out that it’s a perfect opportunity to start their website off on the right foot to include SEM from the beginning. Commend them for wanting to enlist an SEM service provider and express that it was a great idea prior to creating their website. Tell them they are on the right track to having a successful website. 5. Anticipate questions that they might have. Make sure you are clear on all your answers and be as transparent as possible about your services for your potential client. Ask if they have any questions about what you spoke about and have patience if they do have questions and want you to repeat yourself. You want them to leave your consultation as informed as possible. Chances are you’re not the only SEM provider your prospective client has spoken with. If you make yourself more helpful, informative, and understanding, no doubt they would rather choose you over the other guy. Understand that every consultation will be different and learn to mold yourself to their different needs and wants. In SEM, there is a lot of communication that goes on between you and your client. Making your client comfortable about SEM and their questions can lead to a long, successful client history and can generate other opportunities as well.
