Main talking points include: Prefer to watch this show? Subscribe to the YouTube Channel! The Importance of Local Clients: 1. Understanding the Market : Local clients operate in a market you’re inherently familiar with. As a part of the same community, you can understand their target audience better, as you share the same environment, culture, and trends. As a Digital Agency, you often need to target marketing campaigns to specific local audiences. Being in the same locality as a client can provide invaluable insights into the tastes, preferences, and behaviours of local customers. This can be crucial for crafting effective SEO strategies, creating locally relevant content, or running targeted ad campaigns. 2. Face-to-Face Interactions : With local clients, you have the opportunity for face-to-face meetings, which can foster stronger relationships. These meetings can often lead to a deeper understanding of the client’s needs, more effective communication, and ultimately, more successful projects. While its easy for digital agencies can work remotely with clients, face-to-face interactions can still be beneficial. Meeting in person can foster better understanding and collaboration, particularly during initial project scoping or strategy development phases where nuanced discussions can be more effectively held in person. 3. Building Trust : It’s often easier to build trust with local clients. Being part of the same community or area creates a sense of shared identity and mutual understanding, making it easier to establish credibility. Trust is crucial for any client-agency relationship, but it’s especially important in the digital sphere where clients often need to entrust sensitive data and crucial aspects of their business to their agency. Being locally present can enhance a sense of trust and reliability. 4. Local Networking : Working with local clients often leads to better networking opportunities within your community. Local clients are more likely to refer you to other local businesses, increasing your client base. Local networking is an excellent source of business for digital agencies. Attending local business events or joining local business associations can result in referrals and partnerships. A good reputation in local circles can significantly enhance an agency's client base. There does need to be a hint of caution with this, however. Some local networking events can become stagnant (essentially the same people meeting in the same room each meeting). Unless there is an active referral practice in place, be wary if networking groups don't contribute to your business within a few months – it might be time to move on. 5. Community Impact : Working with local clients often means you’re helping local businesses grow, which can have a positive impact on your community. This can enhance your agency’s reputation and lead to more local work. Helping local businesses grow can elevate the reputation of a digital agency within a local area. Success stories can be more tangibly demonstrated and can serve as strong social proof for the effectiveness of an agency's digital strategies. This can either be through some form or partnership or shared community effort with some of your clients, or by tapping in to a local need and contributing individually. 6. Faster Decision Making : In many cases, working with local clients can lead to quicker decision-making processes. Face-to-face meetings, shared working hours, and easier scheduling can speed up approvals and make project management more efficient. This is true for non-local clients too… sometimes a trip or a dedicated call can lead to faster decisions than leaving communications up to email. (There is a thought about never emailing a proposal – always present it, for example). For a digital agency, project timelines can be crucial, especially when dealing with aspects like time-sensitive ad campaigns or fast-evolving digital trends. Faster decision-making with local clients can help agencies to be more responsive and agile. 7. Understanding Local Regulations : (Possibly more of a US consideration) – Being in the same locality, you would have a better understanding of any regional or local regulations that might impact a client’s business or marketing efforts. This is particularly relevant in areas such as data protection and privacy, local SEO, or location-based advertising where local or regional regulations might significantly impact a digital marketing strategy.

Main talking points include: Prefer to watch this show? Subscribe to the YouTube Channel! Agencies as a Commodity vs Marketing Partner The perception of an agency as a commodity service can have several negative impacts on its growth. Here are the key issues: 1. Price Competition : When a service is viewed as a commodity, the price often becomes the primary differentiator. This can lead to a race to the bottom in terms of pricing, squeezing margins, and reducing profitability. 2. Reduced Perceived Value : If an agency is perceived as a commodity, its unique selling points or unique aspects may be overlooked. The perception of value can decrease, causing clients to be less willing to engage or less loyal. 3. Difficulty Differentiating : In a commodity market, it's challenging to set yourself apart from competitors. Angela's agency may struggle to differentiate its services, resulting in lost potential clients to competitors who appear to offer the same services at a lower cost. 4. Limited Innovation : Commoditized markets often stifle innovation because of the relentless focus on cost-cutting. An agency might find it difficult to invest in new ideas, technologies, or processes that could actually improve service and client satisfaction in the long run. 5. Customer Loyalty and Retention : With services seen as interchangeable, customers may be less loyal and more likely to switch providers for minor price differences. This could lead to higher client churn rates and increased costs in attracting new clients. 6. Short-Term Relationships : If clients view the service as a commodity, they may not see the value in developing long-term partnerships. This can limit opportunities for repeat business and referrals, critical aspects of growth for many agencies. Viewing contracts as business partnerships rather than commodities can have several beneficial impacts on an agency. Here are some of the key benefits: 1. Long-Term Relationships : Viewing clients as partners foster long-term relationships, which can lead to repeated business, referrals, and ultimately more stable and predictable income streams. 2. Improved Collaboration : When clients are viewed as partners, they're more likely to engage in collaborative and productive discussions that can lead to innovative solutions, better outcomes, and higher client satisfaction. 3. Better Understanding of Client Needs : Treating clients as partners typically involves a deeper dive into their business, allowing the agency better to understand their needs, challenges, and goals. This understanding can help the agency to provide more personalized, effective services. 4. Increased Trust and Loyalty : Partnership implies a certain level of trust and shared commitment. This can increase client loyalty and reduce client turnover. 5. Value-Add Services : With a better understanding of the client's business, the agency can more easily identify opportunities to add value beyond the specific terms of the contract, increasing the client's overall satisfaction and willingness to continue the relationship. 6. Enhanced Reputation : An agency known for treating clients as partners is likely to have a strong reputation in the industry, attracting more potential clients. 7. Reduced Price Sensitivity : Clients who feel they have a partnership with the agency are likely to see the value of the services provided beyond just the cost. This can reduce price sensitivity and increase the potential for higher profitability. 8. Shared Success : In a partnership, the success of the client translates to the success of the agency. Clients' growth can lead to larger contracts and more business for the agency. 9. Higher Engagement : When clients are considered partners, they're more likely to be engaged and actively participate in projects. This can lead to better outcomes and solutions that are more aligned with the client's vision and goals. 10. Innovation Opportunities : Close partnerships with clients can stimulate innovation as both parties work together to solve challenges, potentially leading to new services or improvements that could benefit the agency's entire client base. Ultimately, the shift from viewing clients as commodities to viewing them as partners can lead to more fulfilling, productive, and profitable relationships that benefit both the agency and the clients. Let’s rerun the original issue… The commodity agency says “This is not in the scope of the contract – it is beyond the scope and the client’s responsibility”. What does this say to the client? We don’t care? We just want your money? We have our business as our priority and not yours? Moreover, what happens when the client realises this could / should have been taken care of and asks why you didn’t do it? The partnership agency says “This is something we need to take care of. Don’t worry, we have it covered but we’ll need XYZ from you” (this could be information, access, money). What’s more what happens when the client from the partnership agency speaks to the client of the commodity agency who is complaining that they’ve lost XYZ data… The client from the partnership agency says “well the people who look after me took care of everything – there were no issues. I’ll give you their number.” Score 1-0 to the partnership approach. Clients are ALWAYS more than contracts. Why is this important? Your brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room… Join the Facebook Group…

Main talking points include: Prefer to watch this show? Subscribe to the YouTube Channel! Sales that drive growth aren't incidental – they come about through a persistent drive to build a business. ( Get the 50 business development ideas you can use every day ). Savvy business owners know that all business is an investment. Their profit is a direct multiplication of what they put in. So they ask the question "What's in it for me?" If you can answer that, you'll make sales. If you can't, you won't. To be clear, I'm not talking about giving away complete strategies or "free work" for clients, but I am talking about understanding the potential BEFORE you approach a client, and presenting the opportunity to them in such a way that they understand what could be in it for them from the outset. This is often far easier to do with existing clients to upsell them on to new products or services as you understand their business model already, there will be a learning curve for any new client, but even utilising tools like CHatGPT can help you run audits in seconds – and that's exactly what SEOHive's Scout Reports and Local SEO Audits are designed to do. Any client that isn't interested in the opportunity (or who is just going through the motions) probably isn't a great client in the long run – you may do a project, maybe 2, but they won't be a long-term client. So, what is the opportunity your clients are looking for? Search position? Sales? Enquiries? What's their average conversion rate? If you can ascertain that, then you can literally forecast from spend to return. Example: A client receives an average of 1000 website visits per day. They receive around 35 enquiries per day for their service. Of those enquiries, 60% become quotes, and they close about half of all quotes. So from the 1000 visits, they get 21 quotes and close 10-11 of them. It goes to stand then, that if they can increase their traffic of the same quality by 100% (so 2000 visits per day) that would lead to 42 quotes per day, and 21-22 confirmed orders. If they can 10x their traffic then that would be 210 quotes per day and 105 orders. So without improving anything but traffic, you can demonstrate a return. These are the numbers that help clients make investment decisions – are you selling through presenting the opportunity? If not, why not?
