In this short commentary, the speaker, speaking from an agency standpoint, criticizes the common practice of SEO vendors focusing on ranking reports and traffic metrics without demonstrating tangible revenue outcomes. He shares client feedback that they will not stay with an agency unless the $2,000 monthly spend can be linked to a $20,000 revenue increase. The speaker emphasizes that agencies must connect generated leads to booked jobs and actual revenue, showing clear return on investment (ROI). When agencies make this connection explicit, client retention improves significantly.

From an agency perspective, one piece of not so juicy truth, but truth was, you guys are giving me smokes and mirrors. We had a couple of clients just say, look, you're showing me this ranking report, you're showing me this analytics, but I'm not seeing the revenue growth. And if you guys can't show me that I'm investing the $2,000 a month with you and that's turning into $20,000 in revenue, I don't care how fancy your reports are, I don't care how good the data is, I'm not gonna remain a client. Uh, and, and that really helped us realize, look, it's not about, you know, the number of clicks, it's not about the traffic, it's really about the results and the return on investment and, and connecting the dots for the client and really showing them, hey, look, so those leads generated to this amount of booked jobs and this amount of revenue. Mm-hmm. Uh, and when you make that really clear, retention gets much better.
