    Trying to find genuine information about compulsory pensions

    As far as the government is concerned you're a director and an employee since you're running a ltd company. If you plan on paying yourself a salary from the company you should probably get PAYE setup if not already done so. However as far as your friends and family are concerned you're self...

    Client doesn't understand SEO

    Thanks I'll definitely go over the site content and see if there is anything ambiguous that could lead to confusion. It just seems silly that people can't read between the lines, for example "and deliver results" is like saying a car can get you from A - B and will do 40 miles to the gallon. Yes...

    Client doesn't understand SEO

    I have thought about that in the past but then I feel I would be doing them a disservice. I would expect all the basic SEO elements done for any new website built by anyone, I want all my clients to succeed so by doing the standard stuff I can give them the best chance going forwards. If I...

    Client doesn't understand SEO

    That's interesting, I thought that was quite clear. That description is on a page outlining the online marketing services I offer, web design is on a different page. That text is under the SEO bit for Choose from the following services. I'd love to hear thoughts on what you think might be...

    Client doesn't understand SEO

    In my proposal I outline the different stages of the build and what happens at launch, in progress emails I also inform the client of what is happening at each stage. For launch I explain the website goes live on the internet etc. If they want to drive more traffic from search engines they...

    Client doesn't understand SEO

    I think that's all that I can do now. I have explained a couple of times that I can do SEO for them, what that involves and the costs but it gets ignored. I think I just need to keep repeating this and add in that I can't provide any more services for free. What you wrote is almost word for word...

    Client doesn't understand SEO

    Yes I think that is a good idea, I have just rewritten my contract to make it explicitly clear that my involvement with your SEO ends after site launch and they should contract the services of an SEO specialise if they want to use SEO in their online marketing strategy. I thought it was clear...

    Client doesn't understand SEO

    I offered it as a service but there was no budget so the client went for just the website build. Yes we have spoken on the phone a number of times and at great length.

    Thanks yes I think that is what I will need to do, simply state I have done all I can to help. Here are the names of companies that can help you going forward etc.

    Client doesn't understand SEO

    I made it very clear in my proposal and contract that I was not offering active SEO services. It mentions that the site will be built so that the client has full control over elements that can help them rank higher in search engines. I offer full SEO services and a link is provided to that...

    Client doesn't understand SEO

    Yes I made sure to explain it completely in layman's terms. I outline exactly what a title is and a meta description etc, how they work and what are good examples. I make sure to spell it out so even a child would be able to understand. I know some clients aren't computer literate so need these...

    Client doesn't understand SEO

    I sold them a website build and delivered on all the areas outlined in the proposal. In terms of SEO, this included making sure the website is SEO friendly and can be easily updated to allow for full control of onsite SEO elements. Other than hosting it was clear no additional services such as...

    Client doesn't understand SEO

    I have thought about that but it seems so cold. I want to help all my clients succeed online but this may be one of those times I just have to accept you can't help everyone.

    Client doesn't understand SEO

    Yes I have offered to do it for them a number of times before. But I got no real reply to it and they simply asked why the site wasn't ranking again and that they didn't want to pay any money for that as they have already paid for a website. I've offered my services and other companies who...

    Client doesn't understand SEO

    Hi I would love some advice on a small problem I am having with one of my clients. After launching a new website for a client of mine I provided a lot of info and resources on how they could learn the basics of SEO and what elements of the site are important. Titles, meta descriptions and...
