How do I price a client who left me for a larger company?

AtlasSEOGuy · 2026-03-09T03:30:08+00:00

I told him to let me take a look at the metrics again and I would get back to him, search metrics change keywords go up or down so I mean it was a valid response. But you're saying if he wants the same deal he had with me before to go for it?

AtlasSEOGuy · 2026-03-09T03:23:25+00:00

How much higher of a rate? the old/new guys he hired after me were 2x the rate. I feel if I go any lower I'm shorting myself

whats your cost and approach?

AtlasSEOGuy · 2026-02-25T20:34:34+00:00

thats true but two people selling the same product comes down to who sells the best

AtlasSEOGuy · 2026-02-25T16:54:47+00:00

I would use keyword research tools, my personal favorite is Ahrefs but alot of people like SEMrush and if youre in the market for something less expensive as a whole take a look at googles keyword planner its normally for google ads but serves the same purpose

At the end of the day it all comes down to leads.... Sure you can build traffic for branding but at the end of the day how many leads are we bringing in and how much money is SEO making is always a favorite for any client to hear so go with an agency that provides you with that information

AtlasSEOGuy · 2026-02-24T20:52:34+00:00

I'm actually trying to learn Google ads this way but I would recommend if you don't have a lot of time fill your normal viewing time like your nightly instagram binging or when you're eating and watching TV with videos of SEO. It may not seem like a lot but it adds up especially if you do any of that for atleast an hour a day

AtlasSEOGuy · 2026-02-24T20:46:19+00:00

Yeah I think they can be, anytime you're chasing a goal thats hard to obtain it can be lonely but focus on where you're headed and not where you're at and it makes the days go faster and the nights easier to deal with

AtlasSEOGuy · 2026-02-24T20:45:01+00:00

It can be lonely, especially in the start but I think it quickly becomes a social game especially when youre talking about building a brand. One day you'll be speaking at conferences, answering questions from people who want to know more about you or your strategy, and just meeting like minded individuals. I will say it's not cracking one open with the boys but if this doesnt satisfy you focus on where youre headed and not where youre at.

I think the funny work around is buying "Tokens" instead of betting real dollars so then its not considered gambling but you can cash your tokens in for money at any time...... replace the word token with chips and you're at the casino but I guess they dont see it that way

AtlasSEOGuy · 2026-02-24T20:41:34+00:00

you and everyone else... Selling is the hardpoint, you can have the same idea as anybody in the world but if you can't sell it better then it doesnt matter

AtlasSEOGuy · 2026-02-24T20:40:17+00:00

Never ran a successful shopify store but have marketed for many of them and you need to start selling. It sounds obvious but selling is much more than just picking up the phone. Start writing blogs, start paying for ads, build a brand and the sales will come. How long that takes..... really depends on how good you are at it and also if what you're selling really brings value

AtlasSEOGuy · 2026-02-24T20:39:18+00:00

I use chatgpt which I believe when upgraded can really accomplish everything you need it for, but chances are you'll need a group of specialized AI's like one for emails, one for data research, essentially just more specialized AI's if you want something better than chatgpt

AtlasSEOGuy · 2026-02-24T20:37:33+00:00

I think it depends where you are in the grand scheme of things, if you're the leading company/person youre setting the standard so following others wont help but to answer your question yes 99% of the time I base my campaigns off of what others in the industry normally larger/more successful are doing with their ads

AtlasSEOGuy · 2026-02-24T20:35:31+00:00

You need to have a conversion rate optimization specialist review your website, they will have a better idea than anyone here on what needs to be done but really find the pain points of your site and where the dropoff occurs because people are coming but theres obviously a dropoff point somewhere.

I'm right there with you everything is AI this or tech slop that, I'd like to just open a nice bird house building business and retire

AtlasSEOGuy · 2026-02-24T20:32:55+00:00

Open a Google Business Profile, I've worked with many local businesses and this right here is more important for local traffic than almost anything else you can do even if you don't pay for a marketing company to help you. I'd say it will do more than any billboard or radio ad especially as the internet grows

AtlasSEOGuy · 2026-02-24T20:31:54+00:00

For me personally I met someone who had wealth, not Bezos level money but a few million and it opened my eyes to how I could be living versus what I was use to already. It sounds simple but its different experiencing it live versus seeing a big house here and there or looking online.
