New business acquisition for digital agencies from SEO and CRO
-
I have a nice simple question to ask all you mozzers out there, specifically if you work for a web design/digital agency.
Does your agency get any new business clients through your SEO and CRO efforts?
I'm asking this to try and build up a qualitative data set.
I am responsible for all SEO and CRO at our agency for all clients along with our own website.
Having increased traffic by over 200% in the last 12 months, and obtaining page one of Google for all our targeted keywords, we are still without any new business or ROI.
We are fortunate enough to get a lot of great clients via word of mouth, a great sales team and client retention, I'd really like to know what the bigger picture is here?
If I get enough data back, I'll make it into my first Youmoz post and share all the data with everyone :¬)
I've now added a survey so you answer anonymously: There are only 5 questions in all, your time is greatly appreciated.

Any feedback gladly welcomed.
Regards
Sean

Afternoon Elias. I've added a link to the survey now :¬)
Many Thanks

That's a damn fine point Elias, and certainly an oversight on my behalf.
I'll definitely do the survey monkey survey, as I understand people not wanting to share this kind of data. I'll share the link Elias once I'm happy with the questions {probably tomorrow now}
Thanks again Elias

All the best with collecting the data!
The only thing about people not needing to say which agency they represent is that the company name appears next to responses.
And there are could be some prying competitors lurking
Anyway, I'd be happy to help out with your research so if you do set up a survey - send me a link!

Thanks Elias,
A survey is a great idea actually, I could set one up with survey monkey.
I'll wait and see what responses I get through in the first week first. Hopefully they will be honest, as I don't need to know what the agency is.
Personally I think we could all benefit from this kind of qualitative data set, and it needn't stop at agencies. But i think I'll try walking before I run :¬)
Thanks for your feedback Elias, greatly appreciated.

Hey Yozzer!
It will be interesting to see your research. Although I doubt you will get many honest responses in the Q&A. You might want to set up a survey for mozzers to complete anonymously.
I'd imagine that most business for most agencies will come from word of mouth. People that are happy with your service to the extent of recommending you are always going to be more likely to provide qualified leads. Essentially the sale has already been made by the person recommending you.
Looking forward to your YouMoz post!

If I have a Google+ Business page, do I need a Google Places page as well?
It seems like the two are redundant? Any official word on this? I'm fairly OCD about things being tidy and I dont want to split my reviews / shares / etc between two profiles. Are they not the same thing? I searched for my company, both my plus business page and my places page came up. I attached a SS of the situation. placesvplus.png

How do you learn SEO effectively, with so much information out there
I’m reasonably new to the SEO market, but I find it hard to keep up with all the information that comes out daily. I not always sure what to believe or who for that matter present company accepted (SEOmoz). But I’m sure I am not the only one who finds this difficult, does anyone know of accredited courses in SEO / Internet marketing, in the UK or distant learning that could give me a very good grounding. Or if anyone just has some good ideas on how to take all this information in, I would very much appreciate their views. Regards Kevin

Not schema, but a new kind of search result?
I came across this search result in Google and I've been racking my brain out in trying to figure out how they did it. Do a search for Novus CD4 and you'll see a search result where they list additional products from the landing page. I used Google's Rich Snippet tool to analyse the page and find no microdata at play. Any ideas how this was achieved? Have you guys come across anything like this? I was thinking of integrating this with schema to display rating stars and prices on an ecommerce site S4aL5.png

Do "big" SEO companies remove links after termination of service?
Or worded differently: Has anyone heard of "big" SEO companies removing links after termination of service? I have a client who isn't particularly happy with the SEO he's getting from a big Aussie SEO firm, and he wants to terminate, however they've built thousands of links for him and he's a little concerned they might all get pulled. Has anyone heard of this happening, or; Do you think this is a legitimate concern? I think its physically possible to remove backlinks like this because it seems the SEO firm in question is building links by using other client's websites. I also wonder if they might have large content farm style sites where they place links for clients which might be quite easy to take down. Please discuss!
