@thetafferboy that would depend on their starting point; if they already have traffic, doubling leads very achievable but dependent on agency skillset.

@FraserMcCulloch Guess I just don't have the skills 🙂

@thetafferboy I'm curious, how did you respond?

@Stevenvvessum They were really nice, so I flat out told them it wouldn't work. I explained how you could potentially see ranking moves but it wouldn't necessarily equate to traffic/conversions in that time. If this is their target, I would recommend using paid in the short-term.

@thetafferboy sometimes the customer is wrong

@tomshark Why is the customer wrong? All they said is they want to double their leads in 3 months. Nothing wrong with that as a target. It's the SEO agencies that are to blame here imo.

@thetafferboy @cemper Weird! I just did a quote for someone looking to double their leads in 3 months! 🤑

@thetafferboy All you can do is be honest. If they don't believe you, they will in 3 months 😏

@thetafferboy Your response:

@thetafferboy Cya!

@thetafferboy

@thetafferboy I've been told that I talk myself out of work on numerous occasions. I'm just giving them the most likely scenario based on what's achievable with their budget and resource 🤷‍♂️

@thetafferboy

@thetafferboy When you get hired for SEO but end up doing CRO to even have the chance to hit the target 😏

@thetafferboy I won't blame clients but the whole SEO eco-system where the majority of SEO agencies are so dishonest that they can promise anything to win a customer.

@thetafferboy Okay bye

@thetafferboy Yeah I walk out at that point

@thetafferboy Those SEO agencies must be award-winning, full service, integrated and be growth-hackers. (sigh)

@thetafferboy For 'potential client' read 'potential nightmare'.
