Search engine optimization is like animal crackers
I opened up a box of Barnum’s Animals Crackers this morning as a brunch snack and offered my Amplify teammates who braved the “Arctic Toot” this morning some crackers.
Ben came over and grabbed a couple. He commented, “You know, every other kind of animal cracker, be it from a bin or a store-brand or whatnot, just doesn’t compare to the tried and true Barnum’s Animal cracker.”
Nothing truer has ever been spoken. You can buy some cheap animal crackers in a bin somewhere… but they’ll leave you with a weird taste in your mouth. Or will just be way too “vanilla-y.” Or kinda nasty and stale.
The same can be said of looking for search engine optimization help. You can go for a reputable, well-known company’s solution. It might cost a little extra but you know you’re getting quality animal crackers in awesome packaging. Or you can opt for a “cheaper” solution… which will come in shoddy packaging and leave that weird taste in your mouth.
I’ll take Barnum’s Animals Crackers every time.
It’s lunch time for me, and man, now I’m hungry for some freakin’ animal crackers!!

Not only did this post make me hungry…but its true too!
I think a lot of clients think this way too. I’ve even landed clients that chose me BECAUSE I bid higher than other companies.
…I’m glad the people SPENDING money think this too!
Well, quality comes at a cost and that’s for sure. While doing business, peace of mind holds greater importance than any other issue including money provided that it is spent somewhere worth spending.
