If your SEO isn't making you money, the problem isn’t SEO. The problem is you're doing it wrong. There are so many different tactics and strategies to take when it comes to SEO. And if it's not making you money, that means you've picked the wrong one for your business. Take a step back, see the activities you've been doing, evaluate them objectively and see if there's any reason they should be leading to revenue. A client we work with in the data security space came to us after having worked with a different SEO agency that encouraged them to create a glossary section on their website (top of funnel content). Publishing top of funnel content can get you a bunch of traffic. These SEO agencies that worked with this client “tricked” them into caring more about vanity numbers (traffic), than their bottom line. Traffic increased, so the SEO technically did their job. But it was useless traffic. This company then came to us very wary of SEO agencies, because there was more traffic but no new revenue. Our team is always astounded that anyone would actually take your money for that sort of tactic. That’s 2010 SEO. Don't do that anymore. We only care about your bottom line. And so for these two companies, we turned everything around. The first thing we did was to work on their product pages. if you’re getting traffic but your website isn't making you money, you probably have bad product pages. You need to work on getting those to rank on page one, and there's a really specific strategy to doing so. Step 1: Make sure the keywords you're thinking of have a product or purchase intent. So keyword research is step one. Figure out what people are calling your product when they are in a mindset to buy, and then optimize your product page around that. Plain and simple. Step 2: Build out your authority in that space, if you haven't already. If that's something you're lacking, you’ll need to do a little bit of top of funnel SEO in order to support your product pages. Step 3: Build links to those pages to really skyrocket the results. Once we have those product pages optimized, building links to them means you're going to shoot to the top.
