4 signs that your agency is underperforming
DESCRIPTION
Does Your Agency live up to their Sales pitch? #1 Getting lots of traffic but just a trickle of conversions? Your agency might be optimizing for the wrong keywords (and hasn’t changed direction). #2 Does your Search Engine Optimization agency keep you in the loop? You should have regular visibility into how your program is performing against your unique key performance indicators (KPIs). If you aren’t seeing a steady increase in traffic and conversions, your SEO Agency is denying you the potent lead generation you’re paying for. Join Mike Turner, Senior SEO Analyst and Director of Business Development, and learn the telltale signs of an underperforming agency.TRANSCRIPT

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”
