I do SEO and got my first client, who don't know much about SEO.
Their expectation are very high. They ask so much.
Like- They always ask,How long it will take to get no.1 position in google?

Make sure you answer all your clients answers and dont lie to them if you want to make it in this business. Dont offer a service if you cannot finish it.

Answer: At least 6 months, depending on the competition and the keywords. Because the seo process is slow, there is no way to get #1 position fast.
 
Guarantee is some thing not possible in the internet.

Say I guarantee your site first position on Google, for the keyword "XYZ" and you get the first position in like 1 week.

What if the guy who did your SEO gets another client, asking for the same service for the same keyword. Will he tell him that "I did another guy's work for that keyword"

No he will not. He will keep on the work and mess the both of you up.

Best service is the DO IT YOURSELF service, accompanied with USE YOUR COMMON SENSE
 
Its not a big problem and as a customer he/she will be curious to know about the results for what he/she is paying to you simply tell him it will take time and also tell him the present position and past position difference if you get some results.and no one is sure to get 1st ranking.
 
Importance of clients understanding SEO

Hi all, i have managed a couple thousand online advertising accounts over the past few years and many of those businesses had SEO campaigns running. The skill to keeping the client onside with SEO like with everything else is being truefull. There are so many poor performers claiming to be the best that SEO has been given a bad name so be truefull. There is no guarantee to get anyone on page one, you don't manage Google. There are only a few positions on page one of the results and behind each position is a person or team working hard to keep it there while others are trying to drag them down. Its a race and like in a race when you first start running your aim is to get to the lead pack and first position if you can. You start off navigating your way through the competitors and depending on how well the others are running you eventuall make it to the lead pack. The client must realise that by choosing you to run their SEO campaign they are backing your skills to run this race for them against the skills of the other SEO teams behind the other competitors, dont start the race until they understand this. This appraoch will also help decrease the number of clients who want to stop the campaign when they reach page one, it happens. tell them if we stop running everyone else even the poor performers will pass us, is that what you want? Get them onside with the truth before you start and they will undrstand the gains an losses along the way with greater appreciation. Another thing to remeber is that there is always someone better at hwat ever you do and they likely charge more so your client is selecting your service as it meets their budget restrictions. They ought to understand this too. Knowing what you're doing allows them to actually enjoy the race and spur you on rather than stressing you out and giving you bad press. www.onlineconsultancy.com.au
