Hi All,
In another thread, someone posted that they really don't do any link building, and instead, just focused on fixing the site and all that goes on with that. I think this is very interesting because this is essentially what my company does. This does give me a bit of a quandry about what to do after you've sort of fixed everything. I mean, you could fiddle with title tags, etc, but, I think the client will have already received 98% of the value after six months.
The question/issue is, what do you do after month 6, once everything is sorted out? I feel like Linkbuilding fits in well there, because it can be an ongoing thing. . . except, I hate linkbuilding. I think its hard to quantify, and to get real links you need to have personal relationships with other local businesses (perhaps I am dismissing this opportunity).
As a result of my disdain for Linkbuilding, I think we can be "done" with SEO work in 6 months. What we tend to do now is move people to SEO maintenance at 1/3rd our regular rate, and do a little SEO work, and keep the reporting, the database submission and reputation monitoring.
Does anyone else work in this fashion, and have a similar issue?
