The business for sale is a content website focused on a specific dog breed, generating income primarily through Google AdSense and paid breeder listings. The current owner purchased the site in February 2016, enhancing it with SEO, advertising optimization, and updated content, leading to increased traffic and revenue. Operating on WordPress and hosted by a service that will need changing post-sale, the site functions largely on autopilot. The owner seeks to sell the business for personal financial needs. The revenue can be tracked back to the site, although it's not separated from other finances, and tax returns are unavailable.
The business expenses include hosting, SSL, and whoisguard, with past additional costs from improvements in site speed and linking strategies. Social media accounts and an email list come with the sale, while intellectual property isn't included. Traffic is predominantly organic, supplemented by referral and social media sources. The site has been optimized for search engines and hasn't received penalties. Content is created via outsourcing and manual updates, requiring minimal technical skills for management.
The sale includes an asset transfer and offers 1-3 months of support. Growth opportunities include expanding social media, exploring email marketing, and leveraging affiliate products. The site enjoys stable rankings due to its diversified keyword strategy, robust relationships with breeders, and comprehensive site data. The owner's willingness to sign a non-compete agreement and provide detailed instructions and contacts offers a smooth transition for the buyer. There are no geographical restrictions for potential buyers. The AdSense account is non-transferable, but direct advertising relationships with breeders are easily managed through recurring payments and listings.
