I try to explain to them that it is vital for sales conversion. A prospect will find them, launch a new window and then google their name, phone number etc.. looking for social proof as to why they should do business with them. What is shocking now is how quickly rogue seo providers attack new competitors. I have launched several new sites for clients on the web and they were noticed and attacked within days by fake posts on the usual complaint/extortion sites. It seems that regular seo for some has been immediate unprovoked attack and slander of new competitors. It is a sad state of affairs and you must protect yourself accordingly.

You would think every business would focus mainly on their reputation. Without a good reputation, you really don't have a business. Now with the internet, anyone with a computer and an opinion can be heard. I am going to send this article to my staff. Thanks again. Thanks for the great article.
