First, I engage in an open dialogue with clients to understand their specific expectations and what "success" looks like to them. Then, I provide an honest assessment of their current online presence Next, I outline a practical strategy that aligns with their objectives while emphasizing the need for consistent effort and realistic timelines. To maintain alignment, I ensure regular communication, providing updates and sharing insights. As Warren Buffett wisely said, "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it."
