During the [1], Mark reported completing a full SEO and Google Ads audit for Reynolds (Exterior Renovations). The site health score in Ahrefs was brought to 100%, and additional tracked keywords were added. A $200 domain rating improvement project was approved to build site authority. A key gap identified: the client has not been proactively informed of the work done, creating a perception of inactivity.
A recurring problem surfaced in this call: Reynolds (and other clients) are not being proactively updated on optimization work being done on their behalf.
"If you're Reynolds, you're like, I hear from you like once a month or whatever, and nobody ever tells me anything."
— Mark Hope
Send Reynolds a summary of recent optimizations — framed as proactive value delivery, not a bug report. Suggested framing:
- "We audited your account and made the following improvements…"
- Highlight: new ad groups, tracking fixes, keyword additions, site health score
- Avoid language that implies the account was previously neglected
