An established SEO business is up for sale after operating for less than two years. The business successfully generated over $50,000 in the last year, with revenue between April 2011 and December 2012 totaling $73,445. The company focuses on attracting clients through a prominent freelance platform and organic search, ranking on the first page for important keywords on major search engines. Client transactions are primarily conducted via escrow on the freelance platform, maximizing security and efficiency.
The sale includes the SEO vendor website, associated accounts, various domain extensions, and outsourcing contacts. With almost 80 clients and an average earnings of $1,034 per client, the business boasts high recommendations and low overhead costs, under 10% of revenue. The business offers a wide range of services including on-page and off-page optimization, social media marketing, video promotion, and reputation management across several countries, highlighting its global reach.
A significant competitive edge lies in a semi-automated, pattern-based communication system for client interactions, which can be easily managed by hired personnel. The business structure involves two key operators and rotating outsourcing partners for various tasks, minimizing operational costs.
The new owner will receive a variety of resources such as domain names, sales materials, client contacts, and a trained outsourcing team, with support offered for 90 days post-sale. Despite its potential to significantly increase monthly revenue, the owners are selling due to commitments to a larger project and the need for additional funds. A non-compete agreement is available to ensure security for the new buyer.
