From my blog: I was hired by Belinda at K&B Direct to help them get better positioned in the SERPS.
I did some research on what the most used phrases are when clients typically do a search for a company like hers. Then after discussions we decided that I would target the keyword/phrase: “direct marketing advertising agency“
Today I sent Belinda this email…
I think that email says it all.
Belinda says: Hi Mark. Thanks yes very happy. Feel free to forward anyone onto me who wants a reference.
If you want assistance in getting new clients by having a top ranking in search engine results then contact me: markrobertwilson@gmail.com

Remember that God made two prophecies: revival everywhere; peace everywhere. In fact He made more than just two… but these are the two I keep pointing to.
