It Took Me 3 Years To Land This Client

About 3 years ago I was introduced to a friend of a friend named Nathan who runs a successful window-cleaning business in the Chicagoland area. At that point in time, Nathan had been doing it for about 2 years or so and was relatively established in window cleaning terms, while I on the other hand had really just started and was struggling to get my footing. This is important to remember because at that time Nathan despite my pitch to him wasn't interested in growing his business through my services, but I understood given our situation at that exact moment in time as he preferred somebody more established.

Not a big deal to me, and if you fast forward through time we would both continue down our respective paths as Nathan continued window washing, while I continued to grow my SEO business one client at a time. Here's the important part though, despite Nathans's hesitancy to work with me I never closed my doors to him often times asking him about business if I saw him (not a sales pitch) and as we got closer I even gave him my number and fielded any questions he would bring my way not necessarily to sell him but just some help from one friend to the next.

As this continued, over time I could tell the relationship between us had grown stronger, and since I now had a reputable business where I could show him my previous successes it didn't seem unrealistic that we would end up working together much as it did in the past. Long story short, after seeing a client post I had made on Facebook he actually sent me a text the other day asking me to shoot him a quote for my services and we officially inked the deal today! I'm excited not only because it's a new client but also because this sale wasn't based on any pitch or crazy tactics it was just two people who have similar mindsets coming together after years of work. Hopefully, it all goes well and I'll keep you guys updated!

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
