How Many SEO Clients Are Ideal?

August 9, 2007 by

As many of you know, I’ve given up programming to become the head of SEO at my new company. We’re growing nicely and possibly adding 2-3 more clients. Thinking of that, how many clients is ideal for one person to manage? I’m currently doing all of the SEO and PPC for about 8 different websites. I’m fearful that by adding 3 more clients I won’t be able to give my best effort towards all of them.

Is it time for me to hire? Or do I just need to stop blogging and get back to work?

What’s your workload like? How many clients is each person responsible for? What’s the ideal number?

Any and all feedback is appreciated.

    Less is more. 2 are not enough a one man company. 5 are great if they pay enough. 12 is already risky or sounds like the clients are to small in the first place.
