For me, its getting them to give their details and to meet up for the appointment.

SEO is not a band-aid or cure-all, it is a means to drive traffic, nothing more, nothing less. You can deliver 1 million visitors to a page with SEO and if 999,990 leave in 20 seconds or less, then who's at fault? Surely not the SEO, but the offer. PPC I must admit has a much easier way to track tangibles (you do this and that happens) whereas SEO is a gradual process that reduces the need for PPC over time. The ironic point that it is the same SERPs divided by search behavior that determine who engages what type of call to action, but the trust is, it all starts with a click.

It never ceases to amaze me how many potential clients only want rankings. Then think that by being in the top of the serps is the magic wand for making sales. I guess it all come down to levels of awareness. As I write this I have to chuckle to think that even some think all you have to do is build a site, any site and they'll come. lol Great article!
