Wow... Few things - as CEO of "Top SEO Consultants" (our company name) I will go on record and say that we have NEVER - EVER, nor would we ever, Pay for an award. We are not listed at TopSEO or any other 'paid' placement / buy yourself an award site. In fact we were called 'neo1seo' because of the domain name for our first year or so... Then one day looking at my log files I noticed that I had a bunch of organic hits to the site for the term 'top seo consultancy' all coming from the UK.

That was about the time we were getting all of our paperwork done for the business and settled on the more US sounding 'Top SEO Consultants' (consultancy is a UK term in my book) We're not a huge company 3-5 clients at a time... 99% referral business from existing clients...

So with all of that being said... I don't want to be lumped in with the crowd that is 'buying fake fame' It's our company name we rank #1 for the term... so while I agree w/ the article, as to the fact that no firm can be right for every client... There's no harm in letting Google decide that you are #1 for Top SEO Consultants.

I have no problems telling clients what they're doing wrong and how much it's going to cost to get them on the right track...

As for the article - "The Rich Jerk" comes to mind ;)

If that kind of email elicits a response from the Marketing manager... then you've started a conversation - at which point it's much easier to close a deal!

However if potential client receives an email lining out how poorly they are doing their job, (and Neil was on the To-Do list of vendors to call this week) It could backfire too...

In the wurld wyde webs - sometimes it pays to be cocky (just ask the rich jerk)
