As a company involved in SEO and Internet Marketing since 1999 we have dealt with many prospects with many questions about SEO.

A small sampling of the types of questions people ask and objections we hear are:

PPC drives more targeted traffic, doesn’t it?  (My response: No.  With targeted keywords and relevant content you can drive targeted traffic to your site from top search engine rankings

Why is SEO so expensive?  (My response: Because it requires skill and time, as well as attention to detail.  People with expertise in an area are often well compensated for their expertise.  The expression “you get what you pay for” is usually true.)

SEO takes too long; I don’t have time to wait for leads.  (My response: It’s true; it can take a while for an SEO campaign to mature and for you to get maximum benefit.  However a good combination of keywords that are easier and quicker to attain results for, as well as more competitive words that will take longer allow you to tap into some traffic right away while you build on the bigger results that will follow.  Plus just because something takes time doesn’t mean it isn’t worth doing.  The sooner you start the sooner you’ll see the results.  You should also factor in other marketing methods so you aren’t relying solely on SEO.)

I’m going to handle my own SEO. (My response: That’s great!  Make sure you get the right tools and information and actually make time to get it done.)

I don’t have a budget.  (My response: You should really look at it as an investment and consider what will come in as a result of the money you paid.  Also, there are some things that can be done and can give you a boost even if you can’t afford a full-on SEO program.)

Those are just a few questions (along with the answers so you weren’t left hanging) and objections we hear. 

Now for my question to you — Why are you not participating in SEO for your site? 

Most people want SEO, most people believe in the power of SEO.  We’ve all seen the stats that show how many people are using the engines daily to find products and services.  So my question is, when you know and understand the power of SEO – why are you not taking action right now and hiring an SEO Firm to drive traffic to your website? 

After talking to prospects that are just desperate to get SEO and then not hearing from them again, I follow up over time. 

99% of the time that prospect has still not taken any action on finding an SEO firm and getting rankings for themselves.

I want to understand why you aren’t doing SEO so that I can help address the issues and concerns with people when I talk to them.

As more and more people get online and use search engines the traffic delivered from the search engines to websites is growing regularly.  If you have a product or service to sell and you don’t appear in the top results of the engines you are missing out on targeted traffic daily!  Most of you know that, which is why you request free reports, read articles and talk to various SEO firms.  What I don’t understand is why you don’t take action.

I will compile the results of this survey and publish them to provide insight for all you out there that are wondering the same thing I am.  For those of you not participating in SEO – why not???
 

Please feel free to be very detailed and share your personal stories and reasons.  On the other hand, you can also be brief and directly to the point without a lot of explanation.  Either way, your answers will be read and compiled into a report. 

None of your contact information will ever be given out to anyone EVER, and your name and information will not be published in the report.  In fact, unless you want to receive a copy of the report or another surprise mentioned below you don’t even need to include your contact information.

Now, let me answer your question: What’s in it for you?

I want this feedback and I want to be able to provide you all with something for taking the time to respond.  However I’d spend the rest of my life working for free if I offered free service to everyone that responded so…I’ve decided to hold a contest. 

I will randomly select one winner everyday day from the entries I receive. 

That winner will win a free analysis of their website – either a marketing analysis or a search engine friendliness analysis – it’s your choice.

And I will also randomly pick 10 winners to get our free ebook “Breaking the SEO Code.”

Please click here: http://www.ecombuffet.com/seo-survey.htm to complete the survey and enter for your chance to win.

Winners will be notified daily via email.  If you are a winner and would like a link to your site, with your permission we will post your name and URL at http://www.ecombuffet.com/winners.htm
