If you are an SEO company , you probably keep all of your files online, and your tracking, and obviously all of your work is also online, so what do you do if your internet provider has an outage, and the internet goes down? This can be a hard thing to do. Some people at an SEO company have plenty to do when the internet goes down, others are not so lucky. Here are a few things you can do when the internet goes down. If you are one of the people who can do some things offline while the internet is down, don’t forget to delegate to those who really have no way to work on things.

1. Write Reports
No one likes to do them and they are entirely necessary. If you have some of your information off line instead of stored on google docs or something, you will be able to write out a few reports. This can be the perfect opportunity to get your reports ready so that at the end of the month you will only have a few extra charts and some data to add to the report. If this is the end of the month, you probably need to be working on this anyway, and it can be a good excuse to focus on this.

2. Organize
Get yourself organized. Actually this is probably the majority of what you should do when the internet goes down. Put your tasks in order of importance on your to-do list if they aren’t already, flag important emails in outlook, sort the clutter on your desk, although hopefully there is little of that to do.

3.File
This is fairly straight forward, but very necessary every so often. The thing about this, is that it is a two part job. There is the filing, but you also need to organize the extra files and the old files when you are done.

4. Write something up. If you have articles, press releases, or website information to write and don’t know what to write about without looking at the internet, think about something to write about your own company . If you don’t know what you are supposed to write up, look at some of the things that have happened in the past few weeks for your company and write up a press release to get the word out about your successes.
