We Asked the Experts is a series designed to provide you with the most relevant insights from local search experts. Each month we’ll cover a different question and share insights from key figures in the local SEO community in an effort to help you further your knowledge and strategy.

• You do have calls with your clients but you have to send a bunch of emails before you can get them on the phone
• You share links to reports with clients, but have no idea if they’re reading them
• Your client is resistant to your input or ideas
• Your clients still won’t follow your advice and respond to customer reviews
