A client asked us for a second opinion on an SEO company that had approached them. During the sales call, they started to feel pressured and noticed that the conversation seemed to be moving toward a close before much had been learned about their business.

The company had not reviewed the website, asked about their goals, looked at Search Console, or even done a screen share. Those things do not automatically mean a vendor is wrong for you, but they are good reasons to slow down and ask more questions.

Fortunately, the client had not provided payment information or access to any accounts. They trusted their instinct that something felt off, got another opinion, and didn’t commit to anything. ●
