SEO News You Can Use: How to Earn More Money with Rank and Rent SEO

One way to generate more SEO revenue for businesses is to employ Rank and Rent. Perhaps you’ve heard of this digital marketing strategy, considering it’s not new, but it’s not as well-known as other SEO tactics for boosting cash flow.

Rank and Rent SEO is simple really. You build a website and then you make it SEO friendly — climbing the search engine results pages for local search terms — and then you rent the website to local businesses looking to collect more leads.

If you’re already a local SEO expert, this is a great way to use your skills to generate another revenue stream for your business. Diggity Marketing offers more in-depth details here about Rank and Rent SEO and how it could benefit your business.

Imagine if you’re a Denver plumber needing more online leads to grow your business but you don’t have the money to fully invest in your own website and digital marketing strategy. Well, a great way to get started without having to spend thousands of dollars up front would be to rent a website that’s already ranking and can instantly generate leads for you.

As we all know, SEO is more of a long-term marketing strategy. So, a new website for a Denver plumber would need time to rank for important local search terms. But what if a website was already ranking for all the local search terms you need to drive more leads and all you had to do was pay a little rent to occupy the space and benefit with more phone calls?

It’s what every business owner dreams of … an instant lead generator that doesn’t require a lot of heavy-lifting or deep pockets. That’s why Rank and Rent SEO could become a more popular choice for business owners.
