    Relevant URLs - Any SEO Value?

    Agree with the theme here, EMDs do still work. EMDs is actually central to a strategy we're using for a client where we are ranking their main website for generic terms and using EMDs to rank for local areas. A sum of all the traffic across the EMDs makes it worthwhile. As @Carl76 mentioned...

    Promise of top 3 in organic keywords

    I'd avoid this too, with that low monthly amount they're clearly not going to do anything of quality to improve your rankings.

    Employing someone for social media..... Is it worth it?

    If you don't have someone in house to do Social Media I'd recommend hiring. But be careful, you want someone that really understands your business, upcoming events, content your producing, etc so they can build an effective campaign online. Also, posting content is just the starters, if you can...

    What is best to manage social media

    I prefer Hootsuite. Great to hear your using Social, just last week I came across two examples where Social is creating potential opportunities and sales. One is a wedding celebrant who was approached by a blogger to provide a Guest Post on an authority after seeing her Instagram activity. The...

    What exactly are you looking for when you say "content writing strategies"? The above responses span ideal client profile, link building, content frameworks, and general SEO, but not sure which of these cover what you're looking for. :)

    repeating blocks of content

    What Carl said, if most of you're page is unique, you won't have an issue with small blocks of the same text.

    Skeptical about SEO? Why?

    This thread has considerably transformed from the original question lol, particularly around Guarantees. :) I don't provide any guarantees as ultimately is out of my hands and would not be comfortable with setting that expectation. If I did decide to provide a guarantee I think it would be...

    Getting Personal Trainer Clients.

    Have a friend doing fitness training and he's killing it. There's a lot you can do but I'd focus on one thing for now - GET PAYING CLIENTS and EXPERIENCE. Creating a website, social media, writing, will slow you down and can be done later. As you work within the gym, what better way to get...

    Online Marketing, relative newbie, do be gentle...

    There's some good idea here, I think Squarespace is a popular option among many now and think you should be able to incorporate these ideas into your existing site. Play on your earlier point of luring customers in, perhaps a better template design, some awesome images and clear "how to find...

    I have a new client in the exact same situation, and are restructuring their website to meet this requirement: targeting local and national searches. SEO We plan to do this by keeping key pages targeting national terms e.g. home page and inner category page. For local searches we have a...

    Skeptical about SEO? Why?

    I have experience of this too, I actually started off trying to train them to do it themselves, but realised they were just too busy. The education now is not really a training session, it's just about giving them enough information so they are informed of what we will be doing and importantly...

    Skeptical about SEO? Why?

    Alright guys, this has been fun. Thanks for contributing. Whilst it felt like some of the responses did not necessarily answer the question, there were some good points coming out: To summarise the key points made: When people don't agree with the terms used on your website, that makes them...
