6. Estimating ROI in SEO and Content Marketing 💰

Forecasting ROI is often an abstract hurdle for SEO pros, while managing expectations is crucial for avoiding disappointed clients. Everyone needs to be on the same page about how long it might take to see substantial results and how those results can reasonably be forecasted (to justify the up-front investment).In this section you’ll learn how we go about projecting future traffic, and most importantly, future earnings for the businesses we consult for. Be conservative in your estimates, demonstrate you know what you’re doing and leave room for them to be surprised by your successes down the road. It’s always better to under-promise and over-deliver than vice versa.

🎉 BONUS: Find the Keywords Your Competitors Share (that you’re missing out on)

The Ahrefs Content Gap tool allows you to analyze and compare multiple websites against one another. The tool can show you (quite granularly) which keywords that Site A, Site, B, and Site C all share with one another that Site D…does not. You can also filter the keywords you discover by volume, difficulty, and cost per click.It doesn’t take long to do if you know what you’re doing, but this kind of information can be extremely valuable to a business, and we know from first-hand experience that they’re willing to pay for it. (We charge $299 per report. Wouldn’t be surprised if we could charge more, but we feel guilty because it doesn’t take us very long to actually do).
