Unlock Your SEO Agency's Potential with a Business Coach

The Unique Challenges SEO Agencies Face

If you run an SEO agency you'll have a number of pressing challenges:

  1. How do you win more clients?
  2. How do you retain them beyond 6-12 months?
  3. How do you stand out from the competition?
  4. How do you make your SEO services not sound like the dark arts?

I have worked with many SEO agencies to help them grow their profits in a sustainable way, so I am fully aware of the challenges you face. It's tough to win clients but even tougher to retain them, especially since we know it can take 9 months or more before your client starts seeing significant changes in their rankings (and more importantly, increases in enquiries and sales).

So how do you position yourself to look different to your competitors? And how do you find your ideal target customer who will understand how to work with you to deliver great SEO results for them?

This is where a specialist coach who exclusively works with agencies like yours can help you.

Building A Sustainable SEO Agency

If you want to build a sustainable SEO agency with a robust set of products/services and a loyal client base, you need a plan, a clear market differentiation and a fantastic sales & marketing machine that generates a continual flow of new long term customers. Are you clear on how to do this, and do you dedicate sufficient time every month to work 'on your agency'? It may sound like a cliché but it’s true.

The Benefits of Coaching for SEO Agencies

Imagine having a personal guide who can help you navigate the ever-changing business landscape and unlock your company's full potential. That's exactly what a business coach can do for you.

With their expert guidance and insights, you'll be able to create a clear strategy for success, build a high-performing team, and streamline operations for maximum efficiency. But it's not just about your business - a coach can also help you with your personal growth and development, such as time management, communication skills, and stress management.

Imagine having someone who can hold you accountable for your goals, celebrate your wins with you, and help you overcome challenges. With a coach by your side, you'll have the support and guidance you need to take your business to new heights of success.

Now imagine someone who has ‘stood in your shoes’ and run their own successful agency.

What is SEO and how does it work?

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. SEO strategies increase the quantity and quality of traffic to your website. It involves making certain changes to your website design and content that makes your site more attractive to a search engine.

What is SEO in marketing?

Search engine optimization is a methodology of strategies, techniques and tactics used to increase the amount of visitors to a website by obtaining a high-ranking placement in search results (SERP) — including Google, Bing, Yahoo and other search engines.

How can I improve my SEO?

Publish Relevant Content. Update Your Content Regularly. Include Metadata and use alt tags. Enlist the help of SEO tools like Moz, SEMrush and Ahrefs. Make sure your website gets high marks on technical SEO audit tools. Have a link-worthy site and work hard to get backlinks to your site.

About Rob

I have 30+ years of commercial business experience. After beginning my career by working in various blue chip companies, I took the leap In 1991 to start my own marketing, PR and design agency. Over the next 11 years, I grew the business into an award-winning agency with 25 staff and revenues in excess of £1.5m. In 2002, I sold the business and then retrained to become a coach and mentor. Since forming Da Costa Coaching in 2007, I have helped over 450 agencies to grow in a sustainable, profitable and enjoyable way.

As an established independent consultant, I was starting to get a seven-year itch. I wanted a clearer idea of where I was taking my business and I was struggling to articulate a vision for myself. That's when I came to Rob. He was invaluable. He made me consider my options and explore each in detail. It quickly became apparent which I was most passionate about. From there, he helped me clarify it in a meaningful way - so it would motivate my target market, and so it would be profitable. My new proposition has been a huge success and has led to fascinating new work with new clients. Rob has been a big part of making this happen.
