Quotable Quotes
- They think “Being on that first page is going to make a huge difference in my business”. But in reality even if you rank well and you run a really poor company, that’s not gonna help you in any way. I would say do the opposite, take care of your customers, make sure you have a really solid foundation as a business. And then when you’re ready look at SEO to compliment what you have so that you can then fill that lead funnel of your ideal customers that you’ve distinguished over the years.
- With SEO, it is a long term strategy. It’s not going to be fast, easy, you do one tweak on your site and expect immense results. It’s continuously updating and positioning yourself as the expert.
