That's surprising! Do you think it was the "Consulting" versus, e.g. "Design and Development"? I wonder if 37signals had this issue, too--the impression I get is that they were kind of dragged away from being a service company, because their product got so popular.
You might have that branding because people are more willing to admit that they hired you as a consultant ("We needed SEO for our site,") than that they bought software ("We needed SEO help to... do SEO.")
And your biggest customers are presumably on the consulting side. I can't imagine a single organization spending $10K on SEOMoz products, but I read somewhere that that's your minimum for consulting.
Anyway, it's definitely interesting to see how other SEO companies evolve.
- randfish 17y agoWell - we certainly have many times more Fortune 500s who are subscribers to the software than we ever served with consulting. And I'd say that getting testimonials and word-of-mouth comes much more with software users than consulting clients (who often like to keep things very quiet).
