QA Session
Q: When selling SEO how do I justify the package when the client is just interested in just getting backlinks.
A: Go back to understanding what the goals are and then reviewing the workflow that goes with those goals. Ask them why they‘re going after the Backlinks. Make them understand the positive effects of SEO and not just backlinks. Try to navigate to the core of why the client only wants a certain service and more often than not, you will find a way to make them see the value of getting the entire package.
