Here’s an exciting video about the unique and always interesting approach to business that SMBSEO is using to redefine the SEO Marketing Agency game.

You see, we believe that one of the biggest obstacles entrepreneurs face when engaging a consulting firm is the lack of capital to pay the large fees most firms charge.  In order to work around this, we have developed an innovative business model that allows us to get a client the service they need at the professional level they need them, in an affordable manner that does not require a large upfront spend.

Some may think that the conventional model is the way to go because it is a great indication of the cash position of a client and allows the consulting firm to get the most money the quickest.  But we believe in helping entrepreneurs and businesses grow, not just charging high fees and delivering average results.

Surely you’re selling yourself short. Why aren’t you swinging to the fences with a big retainer like every other marketing company?

“Well as a small business owner, one of the things that I know my peers, people I went to school whith and other business owners have encountered is many small businesses and entrepreneurs don’t have money. They don’t have the money to go retain a major consulting company and pay thousands and thousands of dollars and you know, most of these companies are charging anywhere from 10, 15, 20 thousand dollars upfront retainer, just to get you started and that’s a huge barrier to entry.

That’s the reason why small business can’t get the help they need because many small business owners are so focused on just making their business live, making their business run and keeping it going and are not able to take a step back and work on their business and do the things a business owner really needs to do to grow their company.

So, we are bringing our services to business owners that are in need. We’re removing the huge retainer as a barrier of entry. We’re doing, as I said, minimal cost up front, a minimal retainer – just because everybody has to have some skin in the game – but then we are going to invest our own human resources and financial resources to market our client’s business and make sure they are successful.

At the end of the day, if we’re not making your company any money, then we’re not making any money and the relationship doesn’t make sense.”
