GuestMay 14, 2026 at 10:55 pmI personally love Done-with-You SEO!
As an example, I have a client who is an optometrist and also sells high-end glasses. I randomly got them as a client because – while I needed new prescription – the optometrist made conversation with me and asked what I do. Then talked about how he was dissatisfied with his current SEO agency, who is a Done-For-You agency. It turned into an amazing connection opportunity where we spent an hour looking at his store website together, talking about what SEO does, and cringing at what this agency is doing.
I said for the half the price, I’ll do SEO for you! The difference is I’m transparent about my processes. I’m giving him actual data and telling him exactly what I’m doing and why. And the best part is, he’s excited about it! And I get to help a local doctor! Sure, it may be an extra 30 minutes of my day to take time to manually type everything out for him to understand, but I see it as relationship-building. He’ll recommend me to other people and give me an excellent reference. And he gets to be the number-1 local optometrist on Google search when people needed to update their prescription, or new glasses.
Win-win for everyone!
