Shared Challenges
Code Errors
Keyword Selection
Keyword Selection is a common challenge, from word order, plurals, localization, and modifiers. Added to this were consumer search terms vs. industry terms, buyer triggers, and topic competitors that didn't sell a competing product or service.
Prioritizing
All my clients had the challenge of limited time, budgets, and ability to determine priorities. We helped them size the SEO challenges, created plans to generate wins (quick fixes), and worked big challenges down over time. We parsed out work to our team to add capacity to their team.
Competiton
All my clients had challenges with competitors in the same market and space. Most of my clients were smaller businesses competing for positioning next to larger competitors. A few larger clients were losing ranks to smaller nimbler SEO savvy businesses.
