science...

Did your Agency Set up the Right Foundation?

• How can I tell?

• You are unsure of the keywords you are targeting or if they are any “good”

• No keyword mapping

• No concerted link building effort

• Not tracking keywords from source to paying customer

• Little to no content generation efforts that are consistent with keyword mapping

• They have ever said or you have ever thought the following:

“ I know we are your web design firm, but we also do SEO!”“ You should only target these 5 keywords - And 3 of them are branded terms!”“ You have no idea how much closed won revenue or pipeline revenue

came from their work”
