Are you for real? Hilarious conversation with a ‘Google expert’

10th
Aug
by Sarah Turner

So this company calls me up on Friday afternoon and says:

Dubious company: Hi, we’re working with Google and we just wanted to let you know about a phrase that has recently become available which was last seen 11 months ago. It’s ‘marketing agency Surrey’. It’s a great opportunity. (There are so many lies in this opening sentence it’s hard to know where to start.)

Me: (Already smelling the BS) for what?

Dubious company: To get you higher up on Google.

Me: Hmmmm…right. So higher up the organic listings?

Dubious company: No. This is about sponsored links on page 1 of Google.

Me: Oh PPC then.

Dubious company: No. Sponsored links.

Me: (Totally cheesed off ) if you’d looked at my site you would have seen I’m an SEO copywriter. It’s what I do for a living.

Dubious company: (Aggressively) SEO is dead. And you of all people should recognise that…

Me: ‘Click’.

 

Moral of the tale: If you receive a call from 020 7345 5163 don’t answer it.
