\"\"If you\u2019ve been working with an SEO provider for some time, that\u2019s great! Clearly you recognize the importance of an organic search engine presence and think it\u2019s worth an investment. Hopefully your experience has been nothing but positive. Unfortunately, it\u2019s not always the case. Even if a relationship with an SEO provider starts off great, things can change over time. Sometimes a fresh start with a new SEO provider can rejuvenate an SEO campaign. So, should you make a switch? If any of the following sound like your current SEO provider, you might want to consider looking for a new one:<\/p>\n

They\u2019re mysterious<\/h3>\n

Sometimes a little mystery in life can be fun. But, this isn\u2019t the case when it comes to your SEO campaign. As the paying client you have a right to know exactly what your SEO provider is doing for you. You should establish early on in the relationship what the expectations are regarding phone calls, in person meetings, and reporting. You might not need to check in every week, or even every month, but regular contact to find out what\u2019s been going on are key to maintaining a healthy relationship.<\/p>\n

They aren\u2019t keeping promises<\/h3>\n

\"\"
\nDid your SEO provider promise the world when you first started working together? Have any of those promises come to fruition? We\u2019re going to guess not, mostly because there\u2019s no such thing as a \u201csure thing\u201d in SEO and your provider shouldn\u2019t have been making promises in the first place! New SEO clients want to hear that they\u2019ll reach #1 rank for x, y, z keywords within a certain timeframe and some SEO providers that are so hard up for business will tell them it\u2019s possible. It\u2019s not! Sometimes it\u2019s actually the opposite \u2013 impossible! A reputable SEO firm will do the work required to generate additional organic traffic to a website, but will never make guarantees or promises.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re unreachable<\/h3>\n

Sure, your SEO provider is trying to grow their business, but that doesn\u2019t mean that your existing business should take a back seat. They obviously don\u2019t know the golden rule of business; that it\u2019s less costly to maintain and grow current business than to get brand new business. If your provider was getting back to you immediately while they were \u201ccourting\u201d you and then as time has gone on you\u2019ve felt like less and less of a priority, you probably are! No matter what\u2019s going on internally with your SEO provider, you should always be able to reach them.<\/p>\n

Even if you generally like who you\u2019re working with and they aren\u2019t doing anything \u201cwrong\u201d per se, if any of these things sound familiar, you might want to seek a fresh start with a new SEO provider. Doing so can breathe new life into a lifeless campaign and open up new opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019ve been working with an SEO provider for some time, that\u2019s great!
