subject: Make A Small Fortune Selling Seo Services To Small Local Businesses [print this page] If you are reading this article and you even know what SEO is, you have a huge advantage over many small business owners. Many small business owners are so concerned with the day to day affairs and running of their small businesses that more often than not, they have very little time to pursue and very little knowledge about Search Engine Marketing (SEM). Many have not even heard of it, much less even know what it is or how to do it.
This point in itself bespeaks the fact that there is money to be made in helping small local businesses promote themselves by pursuing localized search terms.
Localized search is extremely widely used and search engines in no way, shape or form have a complete catalog of all of the products and services available to residents of a certain area, zip code, town, city, state, parish, county, province or whatever.
In many cases, the best you will find is, perhaps, a phone book listing of a business or service that is not optimized for the products or services covered by that business. This is a serious marketing problem if the company is attempting to turn their name into a brand in which their brand name is not a keyword for their products or services offered.
For this reason, it is more than likely that the businesses in your area could use some serious help with respect to their search engine marketing campaign, if they even have one. If you have been tinkering with websites and you can build and launch them, then you already have the necessary skill set to get started. All you need is a plan or an outline to follow.
If you had a plan, you could put together a small portfolio of your offerings. They could range from simply putting up a website for a business, or setting up a website in combination with initial or extended SEO packages.
Since local search terms are easy to dominate, you can get reasonable results in a reasonable amount of time. Again, all you need is a plan. Implemented properly and aggressively enough and you can make a small fortune selling these services to small businesses.
