Key Takeaways:
“I mean, pay-per-click has its purpose. It’s not that pay-per-click is bad and you can also run them parallel sometimes, like, if SEO is profitable and pay-per-click is profitable, then run above that. But the advantages and disadvantages are, as we said earlier, is that one, if you want to scale paid ads, you have to pay more. Or if you run into a tight quarter and you need to tighten your budget, you’re going to decrease your leads. So, the appeal, the sexiness of SEO is a little bit of that wild card.”– Damon Burton
“My business has grown almost entirely, we haven’t spent any money on advertising, almost entirely on our reputation because once you get in with a certain level of clients and provide value, they’re going to bring you into their inner circle of other clients that you can bring value to. So it might be a slower play, but it’s going to pay off in the end.” – Damon Burton
