I have spent a lot of time doing this through consulting efforts by convincing SMB’s to embrace the web and most importantly (at least to me of course!) adopting SEO. Each and every time was a struggle and required hard work, but was *always* worth the time spent.

Very good article. It would be great if all companies had an SEO evangelist who did these things!
Awesome post. I'm the SEM (SEO/PPC) director for an interactive mktg firm and we also do design and development- so my SEO knowledge gets tapped for a bunch of different things- and on rare occasions it doesn't and we find out it should have- it takes any organization, even a savvy one, a while to get all the implications of SEO and include you in every conversation- so you have to be knowledgable and, even more important, quick if you want to contribute but also get done all the other work you're responsible for.
Thanks for the great feedback Jill and Brian!
A good reminder of what most companies need. Given Google's visibility, the evangelist's message should be an easy one to push. Just ask whether people will find you when they're looking for the products you sell.
Subscribed to your blog now, Tony. :)
Great post! Being an evangelist was the most fun part of my job, and actually being able to back it up with results made it that much sweeter. Thanks for compiling all the relevant points in one place.
Barry, I completely agree that companies need it. A lot of the time it just happens on a grass roots effort through and not some much one person.
Will, glad you've subscribed!
Andrew, I am glad you enjoyed it!
