Tom Critchlow – The Art of effective Client Management

Description of The Art of effective Client Management

Every successful project has a foundation of strong client management

Managing clients is all about understanding what clients value – putting ourselves in their shoes to understand the context for our project. We must understand the goals, resources and priorities that drive our clients so that we can provide recommendations and projects that create impact, not just documents that gather dust.

Client management matters because SEO is a complex discipline. We require our client’s teams to allocate resources in service of our goals whether engineering, product, marketing, editorial or PR. We need to do more than provide recommendations, we need to advocate for SEO initiatives.

After completing the course you will:

• Manage client expectations more effectively
• Communicate more clearly and confidently
• Get buy-in and budget for your recommendations
• Upsell and retain clients for longer
• Be more skilled at building trusted relationships
