• SEO has great value, but often a long-term value that may not be realized for months
• SEO is not an ON/OFF switch
• A #1 ranking cannot be guaranteed
• Search engines use an algorithm to decide ranking. Optimizing to that algorithm helps you compete with other sites for ranking.

It’s critical to know your unique advantages and what your audiences honestly think of you and how they’d describe you.
If you don’t know, you could make a mis-step in trying to figure out what to focus on in your SEM (and other marketing).

So… how do you find out what your customers think of you and how they’d describe you? Ask them!
Either directly or indirectly.

Indirectly you can research what has already been found out by research done by your industry about clients, prospects (professional associations, web searches, conferences).

Ask customers directly with many different types of surveys: personal interviews, focus groups, online surveys like Survey Monkey, phone or mail-back surveys.
If you do customer satisfaction surveys, consider adding 1-2 questions for brand perceptions.

Each type of research method has its pros and cons. Some are better for some types of decisions than others.
So therefore: ask, ask often, ask in different ways, ask the right people.

You and your team are usually internally oriented, or have their own agendas as to your marketing priorities. Ask your prospects and clients (and past clients or lost clients). Clearly define what you need to know and develop the questions to test it.

After you initial research and a review of how people search for your type of company now, note your starting point.
Continue to monitor and benchmark to see how your marketing has impacted performance.
