Another issue you need to clarify with your client before you go to the indicators of SEO success or failure is what traffic is realistic to expect and when. Your client might dream that after spending $100 on tons of low quality backlinks, this will land him or her on the first page for a competitive word but as we know, this will never happen. In fact, if you are dealing with a bad client, I can repeat the advice in the 35 Lessons a Decade in SEO Has Taught Me article ‐ part ways with the client before you get a heart attack.

You also need to tell your client (if he or she isn't already aware) that it takes time for SEO results to become noticeable. Sometimes you might have to wait for months till you see any improvement, so patience here is a virtue.

Good communication with clients is always essential and SEO campaigns aren't an exception. This is why it is recommendable to send your clients weekly, biweekly or monthly reports about your progress during the period ‐ i.e. you have acquired 5 PR5 backlinks from (list sites here), you have added 3 new posts to their blog (list URLs here), etc. These reports help the client know where you are, so don't regard them as a piece of useless red tape.
