The Agency Trap
You sign a new local client excited about SEO. They want to rank for 'plumber [city]'. But that keyword has 5 established local businesses with hundreds of reviews. You can't deliver quick wins, the client churns at month 3, and you're stuck in a cycle of acquisition.
How We Solve This
The 'Foot in the Door' Strategy
Use EMD Striker to find low-hanging fruit - keywords with a Striker Score of 85+. These are the quick wins:
- Long-tail variations the competition missed
- Adjacent services with weaker SERPs
- Nearby cities with less competition
- Niche specializations (commercial, emergency, etc.)
Build Trust, Then Upsell
The strategy is simple: rank them fast on easy keywords, build trust, then propose the bigger campaign.
- Month 1-2: Rank for 3-5 Striker Score 85+ keywords
- Month 3: Show the traffic and leads generated
- Month 4: Propose expansion to harder keywords
- Ongoing: Retain the client with proven results
