Pushy Telemarketers and Small Businesses

Many small business owners has gotten a phone call from a pushy telemarketer. Well known companies are using telemarketers to cold call small business owners to try and sign them up for services that they could either do themselves or can get for a much more reasonable price through another small business that specializes in those services.

An example of these services is websites and SEO. Common practice for these telemarketers is to call you up and tell you that your website has poor placement on Google and that you are not easily found in web searches. They will tell you this and it can be true HOWEVER, it is generally only true because the searches they are doing for your business will be done using terms that have very little relevancy to your business and will include search terms that no one will actually use to look for your business.

Many telemarketers will try and make it sound as if they have the "magic formula" to fixing any website or SEO issues you may or may not be having, but the truth is there is no magic fix. If there are any issues regarding your website and/or SEO they can usually be fixed and you don't need to pay hundreds of dollars per page on your website to do it.

You definitely do not need to spend what will ultimately be thousands of dollars (especially when you are a small business) to set up or fix any SEO issues or to do basic website copy.
