Let’s talk SEO. Patrick Stox, SEO Project Supervisor at Thee Design Studios in Raleigh, North Carolina joins me to discuss SEO marketing strategies and what goes on at a digital agency. We cover a lot of ground in this episode including on page optimization, link building, branding, conversion, social media, SEO and Internet SEO tools and more.
About half way into the episode Patrick explains the typical first steps of a customer engagement.
A full-service digital agency such as Thee Design Studio does many things under the Internet marketing umbrella. Some customers come to them for better rankings, some for leads, pay-per-click (PPC) campaign management and even for reputation management. Reputation management is working to counter some of the negatives that occasionally surface, such as bad Yelp! or Google+ reviews.
