Hello SEO Buddies,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for having me on SEOBuddy.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To start with, I am Vikas Singal<\/a>, Aka Sam, an Indian Entrepreneur and SEO Consultant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am the founder of SamBlogs.com, an award-winning SEO agency<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"SamBlog<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We provide SEO Services to clients all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our mission is to provide a world-class SEO Package to every business and start-up and get them ranked on top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your backstory, and how did you come up with the idea?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I was born and brought up in a small town that is Sri Ganganagar, in Rajasthan (India).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did my schooling from there. After cracking my competitive exams, I managed to come out of my cocoon and moved to Jaipur city for my graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2002 got admission to Malviya National Institute of Technology, Jaipur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was lucky enough to crack the interview and get the job of my family’s dreams. I got a handsome salary, extra perks, driver, air travel and whats not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for me, something was missing. I wanted something else from life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to do something with real growth opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in 2008, I resigned, and along with my friends in Mumbai, we started a small start-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea did not work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2010, It collapsed. I was broke; I had no savings and no income. I was nowhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of that, I was getting hitched. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, it was high time to do something with flying colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I came back to Jaipur in 2010 and, With a fresh start, worked on acquiring a Completely New Skill \u2013 SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We began as Freelancers and started taking SEO and digital marketing projects in 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A dream does not become a reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2013, SamBlogs.com was founded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it was the beginning of an ERA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To dive into something of my own was my dream but starting an SEO Consultancy and getting into this field became more of my need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And once we started getting a fair share, It became my passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since launch, what has worked to attract more organic traffic?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the last 9 years, I have tried and tested various strategies. Many of them were very successful, but many of them failed too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SEO Industry keeps changing, and new strategies and ways to rank a website keep coming, but some strategies would remain constant no matter how much the industry changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And these strategies have helped my clients and me a lot in ranking the websites and getting more organic traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Get proper keyword research<\/a> done. Targeting keywords relevant to your website can attract more traffic and is the most basic step that one should follow. Without the right keywords, your website is nothing.<\/li>
  2. Publishing lots of high-quality content<\/a>. Content will always be the king. We can have 2 thousand, 5 thousand, and even 10 thousand words of content and even more, and it can still never be enough. Users love amazing and knowledgeable content.<\/li>
  3.  And get the right and relevant backlinks<\/a> that can make your website so strong that nothing in the world can stop you from ranking on top and getting that organic traffic. Relevant links help in getting the relevant audience to your website.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Basics are really important no matter how tough it gets in the outer world. And these are some basics that have helped us reach $80K+ MRR in 9 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Holding the existing and bringing back the old customers has been our USP.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    One of my teammates came up with an idea to use “FollowUpThen<\/a>” to keep following up with the old customers through recurring reminders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It was quite a small change, but it started giving rewards soon, and we started getting orders from old clients who had left us.<\/p>\n\n\n
