They aren’t too different than our off-line relationships in terms of the need for building trust. Relationships with that trust are also the strongest and longest lasting. At Referral Key, we encourage people to network with their closest most trusted associates because we know those relationships produce the best referrals.

The content needs to be credible but Google remains the principle route into it.
