Need Help
I need some advice from experienced people here.
I’ve been working with a local service business client (landscaping) for around 2 months.
Here’s what I’ve done so far:– Built a full website– Optimized Google Business Profile– Created directories/listings– Helped with content & basic branding– Started improving SEO
Results so far:– Google ranking improved from position 27 → 16– Website is getting impressions and clicks– Online presence is clearly improving
But the client says:👉 “No calls = no results”👉 Claims rankings are from his own reviews👉 Thinks I’m not doing much👉 Now asking for extra work (logo, flyer, etc.)
The problem:He expects fast results (calls within 1–2 months), but as we all know, SEO takes time.
I already explained:– This is organic growth– It usually takes 3–4+ months– Competitors have older domains, more backlinks
Still, he doesn’t seem convinced.
So my questions:
  1. How do you handle clients who only judge by immediate calls?
  2. Do you continue working and educate them… or walk away?
  3. How do you set boundaries when they keep asking for extra work outside scope?
I want to grow long-term, but I also don’t want to work with clients who don’t value the process.
Would really appreciate honest advice 🙏
