The Head-On ApproachTraditional SEO
Keyword Search Marketing
• What are your “money” keyword terms?• What is the total monthly “exact match” search volume for all
of those terms combined?• Do you have a viable business model using the 1% rule?• 25,000 monthly searches = 250 clicks = 2.5 clients
• Assuming average life-of-client of 1 year that equals 30 clients (12 months * 2.5 per month).
