Hello, I am so & so and I would like to offer my seo services to your company that would be useful as an added service to your clients. I have .. years experience in the field of seo.....
Any suggestions or examples?
most of the web design companies are located where I live some even have job postings for seo so that what I was thinking of going after.
by definition, any unsolicited email is spam. Even one.
As someone that gets spammed daily I can really appreciate the hyper-sensitive nature all of us have towards unsolicited emails, but I really think this is going a bit too far. After all if you aren't allowed to email anyone until they ask for it or give explicit permission then why even put your address on the web site?
Companies put email forms and/or links on their sites so people can communicate with them. If you use that link to send a single, personalized email introducing yourself and asking about their interest one email at a time, one company at a time, in my opinion, this is not spamming it is communicating. If you built a list off of all these sites and then blasted them with even one message that would be spamming.
An alternative would be to pick up the phone and get the ball rolling that way. You'll probably encounter resistance as getting top speak to the right person isn't always straightforward but it's much easier to sell yourself in a phonecall. They'll probably ask you to follow up with an email but at least you'll know who to write to, roughly what they want and you'll be able to call them back a week later if they haven't responded.
I know some people won't like phoning either but it's far more acceptable than spam.
