51Blocks LLC
About
1.SET REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS
In our industry, there are people that will claim to give you 1st page rankings overnight. We do not do that. SEO is the long term game. This is why their length of engagement with clients is only 4-6 months. Ours is over 2.5 years. Do we see great rankings, traffic, leads and sale increase— YES! But we are never going to promise that. We begin by performing a rigorous audit of your market space. Who is the core audience? What are their concerns and values? How are they being reached today, and how will they be reached tomorrow?
2.MIDWEST VALUES – NO CONTRACT
Michael, our owner, is from Minnesota originally. The reason we bring this up is this is how we run our business. The handshake is the agreement. This is how Michael’s grandfather did business and it is how he runs 51Blocks. 51Blocks does not try and lock you in for a year or even 6 months. You can leave at any point. The last thing we want is you having to do business with someone who you don’t want to do business with.
3.TRANSPARENCY
We are completely transparent with all the work that we do. In your monthly reports, you will see the tasks we did the previous month and the work we are going to do in the upcoming month. We want you to feel completely comfortable with the work we are doing so you know what you are paying for.
We help grow and develop businesses online, helping them understand their ROI. We are not just your "SEO person", we become your online marketing partner. We help you understand your lead funnel - how much it costs to generate a lead, how many leads it takes to close a deal, your cost per sale.
