Challenge
1SEO are award winning digital marketers. When 1SEO began their journey, they were search engine optimization specialists. They eventually expanded their services to include digital marketing, but they choose to keep their attention fixed on their original core value. The Challenge: Dealing with Growth 1SEO’s focus on growth resonated with clients. Many of their clients — small, local businesses — arrived with baggage, disappointments, and fears. Many of their clients weren’t used to being treated well. Isn’t that a good thing? Definitely. But it also meant 1SEO had a growth challenge of their own. They needed a way to deliver routinely. To manage their rapidly growing client roster while improving their performance. Agency veterans know this better than most. Growth, in the wrong hands, is an agency killer. As 1SEO’s business grew, so did their risk. Client transparency is one thing. Client transparency at scale is another problem entirely. If they weren’t careful, their growth could have a negative effect on their stellar track record. This outcome was completely unacceptable. 1SEO’s obsessive focus on growth meant clients received the transparent communication, peace of mind, and consistent results they needed to keep their business going.
Solution
Find a Trustworthy Partner 1SEO, like any digital marketing agency, relies on an eclectic mix of trustworthy tools across a variety of topics. These tools provide 1SEO with the foundation they need to assess their client’s campaign performance over time. 1SEO needed AuthorityLabs to help them achieve a few specific goals. 1. Create a baseline. A straightforward assessment, showing clients where they are now, at the beginning of their campaign. This baseline enables 1SEO to set achievable goals, continually providing clients with data showing their progress. 2. Monitor performance. 1SEO needs to monitor client campaigns and positions daily, weekly, quarterly and annually. They also need to analyze custom date ranges and compare performance historically. 3. Identify errors and quality issues. 1SEO needs to assess crawl errors, monitor changes in rank and backlink analysis. 4. Monitor localized results. In many ways, local search is a very different animal than organic search. 1SEO needs local ranking data to identify the hyper-local keyword queries that are most likely to drive in-store traffic for their local clients, whether they’re local, regional, national or international businesses. 5. Analyze trends and behavior. When Google or Bing decides to roll out a major update, 1SEO needs Authority Labs to monitor the impact these updates have on clients in the same industry or segment. They also need to monitor clients of a similar size – as well as other ad hoc metrics. It’s 1SEO’s curated software and technology platform that’s bolstered their focus on growth.
