The business in question is a personal finance SEO blog focusing exclusively on the U.S. market. With over 200 articles crafted by expert personal finance writers, the website has significant potential to increase its current value. As of July 2021, the site received 14,800 organic clicks, according to Search Console data. The target audience demonstrates a high interest in personal finance products, with a conversion rate of 15% in the previous month. The business earns revenue primarily through affiliate marketing, partnering with lenders, apps, and neo-banks.
The decision to sell the business stems from a lack of time to manage it effectively. Before the pandemic, the website generated a monthly profit of $10,000. However, traffic declined as many individuals received government financial support, reducing the need for loans. Since April 2021, traffic has been increasing, with expectations to achieve a $7,000 profit by the end of 2021.
Ideal buyers would be those who already manage a portfolio of similar websites and can drive its growth further, or those seeking to promote their own financial app. The sale will include the existing domains, website files, source code, and content as assets. Post-sale support is offered to ensure a smooth transition of ownership and operations.
