I Don’t Just Do SEO Do I?

A couple of weeks ago, I was invited over to St Helens Chamber of Commerce to take part in an interview about New Enterprise Allowance and self-employment.  It went out on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme early this morning.

I was cut down to one line *sobs*.

It was an experience that pushed me way out of my comfort zone and I am so glad I was invited to take part.  An adventure no less!

But, what surprised me was I was introduced as someone who has set up a search engine optimisation company.  Well, that was news to me…

It was more shocking as I chatted about Facebook Timeline changes, which certainly isn’t SEO.  I chatted about Google Places too.  At a push that can be called local SEO I guess.

This isn’t the first time I have denied “doing just SEO”.   Yes, I can do all that competitor analysis stuff.  Yes, I can tweak and change website internal tags.  Yes, I can do link building that doesn’t involve spamming WordPress comments and spinning articles.

But, that isn’t what I “do”.

It comes down to what I think I do and what you think I do…

I need your help to sort this out once and for all and tighten up how I present myself.

So what do I do?

Well, I start with finding out where you are now and where you want to be with your web marketing strategy. I advise how to get there and how to tie it in with more traditional marketing too.

I set up and optimise Google Places and associated accounts.  I find and update citations, I can maintain your listing on an ongoing basis.

If you need a website, I build one that works.  If you want web “design”, I have contacts who design websites and/or graphics who I work alongside.

I build WordPress websites, and they need maintaining and updating.  I do that on a regular basis too.  If you are blogging (and you should be!) I can help you with that or show you how to do it.

Does social drive you insane? I can help you pin down where your audience is and set up social media accounts.  If you need help monitoring accounts and replying, I can do that.  I work with graphics guys as necessary too for any headers or backgrounds you may need.

I help you attract local people online using a combination of techniques from SEO, to social, to paid advertising.  I work with other marketers, social managers, copywriters, graphics and web designers when needed.

Basically, I understand how things work and fit together online.   I can do some or all of it for you or show you how to do it yourself.

So over to you…

I’d love to know what you think I do and what to call myself!  You can leave a comment below, or over on Facebook or mail me.  I appreciate your help 🙂
