There is a distinction online between product based SEO and service based SEO and while there are certain components that overlap, the main focus of these two aspects are actually quite different and it is important to work with a company who understands these differences.

SEO services for a service based company does not always entail additional sales from the SEO efforts themselves and often times, companies don’t often see the immediate benefit of the services provided by most SEO companies out there. The fact is, a lot of companies will insist that their methods of marketing will drive traffic and increase sales although this just isn’t the case. Web traffic does not always result in additional sales and I recommend reading Influence: The Power of Persuasion for some helpful insight into the psychology of the art of sales.

With a service based company, Search Engine Marketing can serve to add exposure to your company and brand. This exposure alone may very well result in additional clients, but more often then not, the main goal of online marketing will be to identify your company as being an expert on the subject. Many times these days, customers search the web for reviews as well as to find the best solution to their problem or immediate need. The goal with online marketing is to ensure that when your customer base is looking for your services, they find your company.

With a service based company, more often than not, your customers are looking at some of your direct competitors as comparison shopping. If your service is more expensive, you “lose points”. If your service is not as timely as your competitor, you “lose points”. The list goes on and on and in the end, whoever has more “points” wins. Proper online marketing can ensure that you increase your number of “points” in the field.

This subconscious “points” system is quite complex and every customer or client has their own method of determining their individual point structure. The job of an SEO company is to earn you as many points as possible as quickly as possible as a competitive edge against your competition. Proper SEO techniques will ensure that your web visibility is maximized to the point where you earn as many upfront points as possible.
