Taking it slow

No one seems to care about the choice cuts of meat or the blend of spices…

Nobody took note of the beautiful Southern girl’s claim it was the -best- recipe…

Not one person bats an eyelash at the exotic secret ingredients and the length went, the distance traveled, to procure them…

Their eyes light up though, and mouths grin with that indwelling pavlovian response when they see that -this- goes on top:

Thursday we did things a little different than our typical #SEOBBQ. Thursday we ~~fired up~~ plugged in our brand new crockpot and set off to slow-cook up a batch of what we’ve been told is The Best no-bean chili we’ll ever taste. After a morning of chopping and dicing our prep work was done and the day’s SEO work began. It was a particularly sleepy morning on what’s seemed like an exceptionally long week. While the meat melted and spices percolated something felt amiss. Nothing was happening fast enough, and this chili was a glaring bubbling meaty metaphor.

Search Engine Optimization is slow, slow, work. Building and executing successful campaigns takes patience and resilience, qualities that we often talk about around the office with admiration… Warnings and disclaimers of which we go over with our clients every day. Often times we find it difficult to wait, and even harder to take our own advice. Month after month though, project after project, successes come to fruition. We’re reminded that the hard work pays off ten fold what the quick and sensationalist does.

Everyone was excited to put the Juanita’s Nacho Cheese Sauce on the chili, even us. We had our hesitations and doubts, obsessively monitoring the progress. In the end though the work paid off. The chili is all anyone could talk about, and they each kept coming back for more. We’re taking it slow, building our business right, and we’re here to help you do the same. Let’s get cooking.
