Local Site Lease

Most small businesses are reluctant to sign up for SEO services. They really don’t know what it is, it’s hard to prove ROI, and typically have a pushy sales force repping it. I’ve seen way too many charlatans armed with meta tags sell overpriced and over promised services. Hell, I probably get two calls a week from firms trying to sell me (a guy who writes about SEO) services, guaranteeing me high rankings for whatever terms I want.

Rent Local Websites

There had to be a better way to sell SEO. A way that had instant gratification, traction, and clear ROI. I started Local Site Lease in early 2009 to do just this. We optimized tons of local domains for the catering, landscaping, and snow removal industries, pushing them to the first pages for targeted searches. Throw in some link building, a nice WYSIWYG editor, and we’ve got a recipe for success. Companies then rent a site for their geographic area and industry that already had high rankings and Google juice.

We’re actually looking for a motivated developer to work on upgrading our old system (wow, I’m calling it old and it’s only been two years since it launched) with some of the new bells and whistles to hook in automated link building. If you’re that person, shoot me an email with some of your experience.
