Questions for the sales call
- Request read-only Search Console, analytics and CRM evidence for a current comparable account, including dates, absolute baselines and qualified outcomes.
- Confirm the named strategist, technical, content, link, development and analytics staff, monthly hours, client load and any subcontracted work.
- Obtain a line-item proposal separating SEO, content, links, web or CRO work, paid-media management, media spend, software, term and asset ownership.
What this profile does not prove
- No comparable recurring SEO floor is public.
- All selected outcomes are company-authored and combine search with web, content, email, UX or conversion work.
- The Trico outcome is not organic-search evidence, and Door County's metrics cover the broader digital program.
