The business being discussed is an SEO company located in Vancouver, BC, with a monthly revenue of approximately $5,930 and 12 active clients. The seller, Gerry, had initially chosen not to sell his business when it was previously put up for auction despite a bid reaching $38,000. However, due to changes, he is now leaving the company to join a startup full-time. The company, which includes a network valued at about $18,000, mainly generates revenue through subscription-based SEO services. Over the last 90 days, it reported total revenue of $18,386.02, with costs of $3,000, leading to a net income of $15,386.02.
The business models include organic client acquisition, word-of-mouth referrals, outbound telemarketing efforts, and creative paid advertising campaigns—showcasing a conversion rate exceeding 15%. The sale includes branding, clients, domain, staff, a call center, and various other assets. Notably, 85% of clients are on the first page of search results, illustrating effective service delivery. The former owner, Gerry, is known for his expertise in digital marketing, although the company's growth has been limited by his preference for maintaining a comfortable lifestyle over expansion. The business is offered at a $50,000 buyout price, with a growth potential that could see it reaching $1M revenue in under a year if leveraged by a proactive new owner. This opportunity comes with challenges, including some operational disarray, but offers a substantial growth potential for a motivated buyer.
