Finding the right SEO agency for your business is important. Especially if you are a dentist. You need to find a company that will take care of you needs and get you more leads and patients. But sometimes when you find the right agency for you and your practice, they already have a dentist as a client in your area. This could be a problem, but not if you weigh your options and handle it correctly. Here are some options to consider if you encounter this situation.
Be Ranked Second
If you find the right SEO agency, they should be ranking their clients at the top. If you become a new client and they already have someone in your area, you might have to settle for being ranked second. Depending on how many new patients you want a month, this doesn’t have to be a problem. If you want less patients than their other client then being ranked second will probably be fine for you.
Be Wary
If the agency you chose agrees to rank you over their existing client for more money, they are not the right agency for you. You want to make sure and choose an agency that has a loyalty towards their clients, because if you end up with that agency, you want to make sure that they will take care of you, and not work you over.
Find a New Agency
If it can’t work out because they do have an existing client in your area, try finding a different one that can rank you even above the other guys. Although you already should have chosen the best agency, maybe you can find a different one without any conflicting clients that can help you out unencumbered.
Whatever path you decide to go down, just make sure that you are working with and hiring quality people, and things will probably work out. Also make sure to set clear expectations with whatever agency you decide to work with, and if they can’t meet these expectations, don’t waste your time or money with them and fire them immediately, and find someone worthy of your business.
