Ungrateful clients
I don't know if you have dealt this breed of a client. I've been freelancing as an SEO consultant and have 2 clients. I've already improved the rankings of one of them to the extent where they get 3 enquiries a week. This is for £200 a month work. I optimise 10 keywords and spend 3 hours a week link-building. Not really much money, but they were my first client outside of my SEO day job.
Even though she is happy with my work and I over deliver by providing her with plenty of linkbait ideas and social media work out of goodwill, she told me today that they are possibly going to use a bigger company to do linkbuilding for 3 terms at £600 a month.
They don't have money to pay me more for 10 competitive terms and over-delivering and getting them actual results. Yet, they're happy to pay these guys £600.
She said that she will keep me and board and I am safe, but I don't know whether I should ditch them. Because, after the work I've done for them, surely, they should look at me rather than a new SEO company.
Sorry for the rant, just wanted to see what you fellow SEO's thought?
Cheers,
The Chameleon
