I was thinking of starting an unique service for my customers. We provide complete seo link building service.I was thinking of providing customers also with a hard copy of the submissions that are carried out for them. I would courier them all the report once the submissions are complete. What do you think of it.
that's a very general question - there is many link building services. If the only thing unique is a hard copy of the report - I don't feel that is going to grab anyone.
I think this would be a waste of time, money and perfectly good trees. This is an online transaction; if you want a more professional report, use PDF or a slideshow if you really think this is important. The client wants a report so your work can be verified and referenced for later use; spend the extra forty bucks on good links and they will be more impressed. I personally would consider replacing a company that used such regressive and obsolete frills. Just my $.02...I don't actually employ SEO services.
Idea is not that bad, but sending a hard copy will most likely to be a waste of resources, you can have some other attraction for them in same amount.
Hardcopy doesn't do it for me. What would be nice though is if you could throw up a page which shows which directories have approved your submissions. If you could do that you'd have something I haven't seen before from a submission service. Just a thought
