Learning about sales, help me with resources.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working in the SEO and PPC space for a long time and am preparing to launch my own agency. While I’m confident in project management, client delivery, and team leadership, I haven't had much direct experience with sales.

Since I have a lean fulfillment team, I’m the primary person responsible for driving revenue, so I’m eager to master the sales process and pipeline development. I already have solid case studies and a portfolio from past client work.

Could you share any recommended resources, frameworks, or tips to help me get started with B2B agency sales and building a reliable funnel?

How do I convert cold email opens into replies for a small SEO agency?

Hi everyone,

I recently started doing cold outreach to leads scraped from Apollo, and while I’m getting a high open rate, I’m getting zero responses.

Here is my current process:

  • Research: I analyze their website to find specific pain points (e.g., declining traffic, losing rank to competitors on key search terms, technical issue areas).
  • Pitch: I highlight these improvement opportunities.
  • Call to Action (CTA): I use a low-friction/permission-based CTA, asking if they’d like me to send over a deeper audit or video breakdown.

About Us: We’re a small SEO agency with strong case studies and a solid portfolio. For instance, we recently helped an e-commerce (Shopify) brand significantly boost their AI search visibility, organic traffic, and revenue.

Given that people are opening the emails but not replying, where do you think the disconnect is?

  • Is the pitch sounding too generic or like an automated audit?
  • Should I change my CTA or lead with social proof earlier?

I’d love to hear your advice or feedback on how to tweak this strategy!

What are the best places to find remote jobs?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working in the digital marketing (SEO) space for over 6 years. I currently have a full-time role in my country, but I’m looking to transition into remote opportunities.

I've been searching on LinkedIn, but most of the "remote" jobs listed there seem to have country or region restrictions.

So, what are the best platforms or strategies to find truly location-independent, global remote marketing jobs?

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Help me pick the right one? CDNIM vs. Supremacy Collector's Edition vs. Not Only Intense

Hello everyone,

I recently bought Rayhaan Lion and absolutely love it, but I realize it is best suited for special occasions. Now, I am looking for a solid daily wear perfume that projects well and acts as a great compliment magnet.

Based on my limited knowledge, I have narrowed down my choices to these three fragrances:

  • Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man (CDNIM) (EDP or Pure Parfum)
  • Afnan Supremacy Collector's Edition
  • Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense

If you have tried these, which one would you recommend I go for? Also, I would highly appreciate any lower-priced alternatives that fit the bill.

Thank you so much for your time and suggestions!

What client acquisition processes actually worked when you first started out?

Hello everyone, I’ve been working in SEO and search marketing for the past 6 years, and I’m finally ready to strike out on my own.

Right now, I’m not looking to jump straight into setting up a full-scale agency. My immediate goal is to secure my first few independent clients, build a solid foundation, and then scale up from there according to my plan.

For those who have taken a similar path:

- How did you land your very first few clients?
- What client-acquisition processes or strategies have worked best for you?

I would deeply appreciate it if you could share your personal experiences, lessons learned, or any advice you might have for someone making this transition.

Thank you so much in advance!

Place to study/work near dhanmonding, or slight outside.

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a good, quiet place to study and work in or around the Dhanmondi area. Specifically, I am searching for a location that offers a large collection of books, with good access to business-related literature.

Could anyone recommend any public libraries, institutional libraries, or study spaces nearby that fit this description? I am open to locations slightly outside of Dhanmondi as well if they have a great environment and collection.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

Website Migration Help from Lovable to WordPress or else?

I have built a few websites using Lovable and did some basic SEO on them. Surprisingly, they've already started ranking on the first page of Google, and I'm getting live leads and phone calls!

Since I already have an active hosting package with Hostinger, I want to migrate these sites over to save on costs. And, have plans to continue my SEO work.

Now, how can I migrate?

Thanks in advance for the help!

We tracked AI citations across our enterprise clients for 90 days. The pattern surprised us

About 6 months ago, my team at MonsterClaw, where I work, started taking AEO/GEO seriously for our enterprise clients. Not the LinkedIn-thread version of "optimize for AI." Actual work, restructuring content for grounding, fixing entity signals, rebuilding internal linking for passage retrieval, the boring stuff.

Wanted to share what 90 days of data looks like, because I haven't seen a lot of real numbers floating around this sub on AI citations yet. Client names blurred for obvious reasons.

Site 1 — DTC ecom (vape/disposable space):

  • 25.1K total citations in 3 months on Bing's AI Performance tab
  • Top grounding query: "Elf Bar customer experience review" — 1,000+ citations alone
  • Pattern: Bing AI is grounding heavily on review and evaluation intent, not raw product keywords. "Elf Bar smoke free products evaluation" pulled 557 citations. "Vape brands" pulled 691.

Site 2 — animation/video production B2B:

  • 10K total citations over the same window
  • One query — "best animation studios in 2026" — pulled 11.8K grounding hits across the period
  • Lesson: listicle-intent + future-year modifier is doing absurd work in LLM grounding right now

Site 3 — a larger client (can't share vertical):

  • 76.7K citations in 90 days, ~104 avg cited pages per day
  • Steadier curve, less spike-driven, because the topical authority is deeper

I cross-referenced everything in Semrush's AI Search tab and Ahrefs' AI citations. The triangulation matters because each tool sees a different slice:

  • Bing WMT = Microsoft Copilot + partners (the actual ground truth for one ecosystem, free, criminally underused)
  • Semrush AI Search = breaks it down by ChatGPT, AI Overview, AI Mode, Gemini separately
  • Ahrefs = caught a 0 → 640 jump in Grok citations on one site that the others didn't surface

What actually moved the needle (the part nobody talks about):

  1. Comparison and "evaluation" content outranks product content in AI grounding. Our product pages don't get cited. Our "X vs Y" and "[brand] review" pages do. Heavily.
  2. Entity consistency across the site matters more than I expected. Same brand name, same product names, same spec language across every page. Models seem to grade you on internal coherence.
  3. The freshness signal is real but not the way people think. It's not about publishing dates, it's about the content referencing recent events, recent product versions, current-year terms. "Best animation studios in 2026" is doing the work, not the publish date.
  4. One well-structured page can carry a domain. That 11.8K query on Site 2 is one URL. One. The rest of the site has decent citation distribution but that single page is roughly 30% of total AI visibility.
  5. Bing's tab is the cheapest GEO intelligence on the planet right now and it's free. Most agencies I've talked to don't even know it exists.

Curious what other folks are tracking. Anyone running citations as a KPI for clients yet, or is it still a "nice to have" metric on your dashboards?

Happy to go deeper on any of the above in the comments.
