I honestly have no better way to set up this conversation with Wil than to tease you with some quotes:

  • “Clients will judge you on what you do the weakest not the strongest.”
  • “Great SEO is caring about people over penguin and audiences over algorithms.”
  • “The SEO industry has set up clients to ask for the wrong thing. Rankings are a leading indicator, but I’m here to drive revenue.”
  • “SEO’s should sit with PPC people. There were 13 dollars signs in the PPC report, compared to 2 dollar signs in the SEO report. This is why SEO’s don’t get any money.”
  • “When’s the last time you did something new for the first time?”

This will certainly be a discussion I go back and listen to over and over again.

Enjoy!
