The Pay Per Call Business Model – Launch Site

Click here to go back to part 4: build sites.

Launch Site (SEO)

So by now you’ve got a bunch of sites up and ready to take over an entire county. If you’ve made it this far, with say 5 sites; you have a potential $1000+ a month income waiting to be realized. Typically, a pay-per-lead site ranked on page one for its target keywords will generate at least $200/month in revenue.

However, with a leveraged network like this, each of the small city sites might make $200/month, but if you get the main site to rank for the most competitive county keyword/s, the main site alone can make $500 or $1000+ per month given enough time and the right client.

Once you’ve built your site, you need to get them on the first page of Google for their keywords. Sounds difficult, but the reality is SEO is fundamentally simple and physically straightforward. There is no learning curve unless you want to be a master; just a set of straightforward steps.

Step One: Release Your Sites to the Search Engines

To do this, go into the privacy settings of a site and select “allow search engines to index this site.” Only do this for one site at a time. It’s a bad idea to launch and promote all sites simultaneously in the same niche. Why? Well, if you launch the main county site and all of its sub-city sites at the time linking them to the county site; that sets off some alarm bells.

There isn’t any kind of Google algorithm that looks for people doing this; but it’s common sense to take a safety precaution. If a bunch of sites come online at the same time all linking to the same site all looking very similar to each other, it looks like blatant manipulation/artificial link building.

Instead of launching all the sites at once, launch each one on separate days and wait a few weeks before linking them to the main county site. This will be more effective in terms of the SEO boost the county site will receive and will avoid leaving any potential footprints.

Step Two: Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools

Despite what many say, setting up Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools IS a good idea; as long as you’re not partaking in serious black hat SEO. If you’re going to be spamming your sites with backlinks, you want Google to know as little as possible about your sites.

However, if you’re building high-quality local sites like this, it’s a great idea. Using the Gmail you created for each site, log in to Google Analytics, add the site, and verify the site. Do not add all the sites to one Gmail account; log in to them individually.

Next, set up Google Webmaster Tools and verify the domains one by one. With Webmaster Tools, you should take two extra steps: first, submit your sitemap you generated with the Google XML Sitemaps plugin. Second, go into settings and geo-target your domain to the United States (very simple to do).

With all this done, the only remaining step is to actually SEO your sites. Once SEO’d, you’re ready to take on clients and cash in on your efforts.

This post is fantastic! I’ve been struggling with finding a clear strategy for SEO, and your step-by-step guide has given me the confidence to take the plunge. Thank you so much, David, for breaking it down in such an easy-to-understand way!

I’m finding it hard to believe these results. A county site making $1000 a month? Do you have any examples of such success or real-world evidence that proves this is achievable?

Sandra B.

Great post, but I have a question about Google Analytics. You mentioned setting up each site with a separate Gmail account. Why is that necessary? Wouldn’t it be easier to manage everything from one account?

Mark P.

Although I see value in your methods, I disagree with the approach of launching sites one by one. Google has improved significantly in handling interlinking, and I believe launching together could potentially give a stronger SEO signal.

I love the simplicity of your approach. By the way, it’s been a while since we last connected. Hope you’ve been doing well, David! We should catch up soon. Let’s grab coffee sometime next week.

This strategy hits close to home. I’ve been trying to build a local business website for a while, and your explanation about linking city sites is exactly what I needed. I’ve had similar challenges and can’t wait to apply your methods.

If you’re looking for additional tools, I highly recommend checking out Ubersuggest. It’s a great SEO tool that complements Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools perfectly.

This post has been an eye-opener for me. I’ve always struggled with local SEO, but your insights on launching and linking city sites have made it much clearer. Thanks a lot, David!
