Aries

Early adopters and fearless leaders, these motivated folk will get your site ranking #1, just not necessarily always for the keywords you wanted. They are also known for being able to stay on top of current issues and understand the business applications of new ideas. They tend to be ambitious, work hard, and are perfectly willing to do what needs to be done to acheive the end goal.

Libra

True team players, a Libra will always do what they think is best for your campaign. And if you disagree, well that's OK too.

Jim Hedger

Scorpio

Likely to be found as executives, these passionate people will always work hard and get the job done. Don't say an idea can't succeed - because to a Scorpio that means you probably just aren't working hard or smart enough. Your Scorpio SEO understands how best to run your campaigns, but may become frustrated if asked the same annoying question for the 10th time.

Capricorn

Patient and organized, a Capricorn always sees the long-term strategy, and sticks to the plan to make sure it gets done. Although quiet and a bit reserved, you will always profit by having a Capricorn on your team, long after others have fallen by the wayside. Capricorn has bright ideas but explaining them can be difficult so just nod and trust you're in capable hands, because you are.

Aquarius

If Cancer is the heart of your SEO business, then Aquarius is the soul. No, scratch that, because Aquarius could almost never bring themselves to stay long in a corporate environment. Your Aquarius consultant is filled with some of the craziest ideas you've ever heard but you have a feeling there's something brilliant going on there you can't quite understand.

Mikkel DeMib Svendsen
