About Lead Generation And Sales

Home / About Us

Why Do We Call Ourselves Lead Generation And Sales If We Are An SEO Company? Lead Generation is the Heart of What We Do Because we believe that SEO is about more than just keyword research, Google rankings and technical jargon. Ranking your content well so more potential customers can find you is just the first step. Converting that traffic into more leads and sales is what really counts.

How Is Lead Generation & Sales different from any other SEO Company?

Team collaborating on digital marketing plan in office.

Our SEO company is different in a lot of ways. Let’s start with our founder, Chris McElroy SEO. Chris has more than 40 years of real world sales experience in areas like inside and outside sales, door-to-door, call centers and more. He’s a salesman that learned how to do SEO rather than the opposite.

As a result our focus from the moment we start talking with you is about how we can help you generate more leads and sales rather than just talking about analytics and keywords.

SEO is a part of that. We have to position you where your potential customers can easily find you before we can sell them anything.

If you serve specific areas, Local SEO is the key to ranking well for your products and services when someone searches “near me” or uses city names. You also want to appear in the map packs. That means citations, link building, and getting more positive online reviews.

There are also other ways to be found. Social media platforms, content marketing platforms, and now AI search platforms.

And don’t forget wearable technology, smart devices and other consumer products that people will turn to when trying to find something.

We make sure your potential customers can find you, then we help you close the sale or turn them into qualified leads.

How do we help make you more successful?

Our company is your strategic partner. We do our research and present you with options and explain each one and how it can help you. You are the senior partner who makes the final decisions. It’s important for us to work as a team.

  • Retention vs Acquisition. Many SEO companies internally focus most of their own marketing efforts on acquiring new clients. Like a revolving door. They try to gain more new clients than they lose because of lack of results. We focus on keeping our clients happy by getting you results and we hold ourselves accountable for those results. That philosophy has made us more successful because if you are getting results, you stay with us for the long term.
  • All of the content we write for you is written by HUMANS, not AI. There will be a time where AI generated content will hurt your rankings. AI is trained on content from the web and the developers of AI will need content generated by human writers to continue to train their models, meaning the content we create for you will be in demand causing it to easily be found by search engines, especially AI Search Tools.
  • We are lead generation and sales experts. We do copywriting, not just SEO content writing. The focus is on customer facing content that helps potential customers understand why what you are offering is the solution they are looking for.
  • Consolidation: All of the pieces fit together to create the bigger strategy. Too many companies hire a content writer, a graphics designer, a web designer, a programmer, a marketer and a conversion optimization specialist. All too often they are not on the same page. Each has their own approach. At Lead Generation and Sales, every graphic we create, every piece of content we write, every webpage we design, is all part of the overall marketing plan.
  • Experience. The average number of years of online marketing experience our team members have is around 15 years. Our founder has 28. One partner has more than 25. We employ people who have a lot of experience  because you are trusting us with your business and we take that trust seriously.
  • Research. We never stop researching. Just because you have experience doesn’t mean you can stop learning. SEO has always been an evolving term, but with the advent of AI, it’s changing at an faster rate than ever before.
  • Competitiveness. This probably distinguishes us from most SEO companies the most. Our team is highly competitive. We study what your competitors are doing and we are driven to outperform them for you, whether that be in Google, Bing, AI Search Platforms, Social Media or anywhere else. We don’t think number 2 is good enough, so we continue working until you are number 1 and then we still don’t stop so they can’t catch back up.

Of course, no one can promise you number one placement in search engines, but don’t you want a team that is competitive enough to keep trying?

What SEO Strategies Do We Use for Lead Generation?

Your SEO strategy is the foundation of effective lead generation. By combining traditional SEO with local SEO, mobile optimization, social media, and AI search optimization, we make sure potential customers with a buyer intent find your business wherever they search. And once they find you, our sales-driven content and conversion rate optimization expertise turns visitors into leads.

It’s not enough just for them to find you on the various platforms. You have to get them to click through to your website. And that’s where our sales and conversion rate optimization expertise comes into play.

Once they land on your website, we need them to fill out that form, make that phone call or make that purchase you want them to make. That’s the other end of conversion rate optimization. That also means improving conversion rates for the traffic you already have.

The conversation with your potential customers begins where they find you, then it continues when they visit your page. Think of it like writing a sales pitch. The introduction is the search result, social post, or ad. The body of the pitch is what they first read after they click over to your page. The close is the calls-to-action and offers on that page.

Choosing an SEO Company With Sales Experience Matters

  • Providing as many as 1800 articles and blog posts per week to clients.
  • Managing as many as 50 business blogs for clients while posting daily content to them.
  • Building hundreds of websites, most based on the WordPress CMS.
