I'm working on something similar for a client and it will be my last time to #1. Page 1 is fine but #1 is troublesome. Even though he fluctuates between 2 and 3, his business is booming and he told me so. He's determined to get #1 in his market (says it's his OCD kicking in).

Well done on your success.

I would like to humbly recommend that you document what you did and repeat it. If you get similar or better results you now have a structure that could effectively become your 'system,' a repeatable and consistent approach.

Systems drive success and I wish you more success.

Thanks everybody the screenshot idea is great. I also got my personal sites to #1 for city+ personal injury and city + realtors and real estate agent , so I have more than just that to include. The divorce site was in the mid-20's for all the terms when I started, I threw about 60 BMR links at it to start and that got it in the top 10 in 3 weeks, took another 6 months to get to #1. Also, I got a doctor client (for my law practice) who looks like he'll hire me for seo too. So that's two SEO clients who can provide great testimonials. (actually a 3rd I made a site and got it to top 5 for military discharge upgrade).

I'm quitting the law practice. Planning to rent my personal site out for 4-5k a year it generates about 15-20k in business. I think it'll take a few more months to rank #1 for a few bankruptcy and personal.

Going to concentrate on offline marketing and a few lawyer related infoproducts I had ideas for, also being a realtor, it's fun and gets me out from in front of a computer.

Bayo- Including my own sites I've duplicated it and have a pretty good idea of what it takes to get to #1. Basically my approach is almost like a purchasing agent, I also like to spread it around. I used BMR, private blog network submits, laclear network submits , uaw type submits, articles, a little blog commenting, fiverr links (these can be awesome by the way, but not enough available to stand by themselves).

I just recently got my first client as I am new to freelancing. A teacher of mines referred my to a friend of hers who was an artist, and that friend referred me to another friend who was a potter. In fact, this teacher of mines was the one who first gave me a book on web design, so I have much to think her of. Now, the friend who was an artist is considered asking me to do a website, so that is one client down, and another one in the making

Anyway, happy day to see everything still working just taking longer.

Well done. I think there are so many people looking for such service in your area and you happen to caught the words they've been using. I hope you're not one of them. lol. If you know someone who's interested on a specific service, I think it would help if you could ask them how they search for their service providers which is applicable to any type of service your client may have.

I'd like to thank David for sharing his experience in such detail. You're surely a great inspiration to many here.

One of the lessons to be taken from David's experience is the idea of going vertical. That being specializing in ranking one industry, developing a successful formula and process then taking it to other markets in your state and then others. This approach is less used than the "whatever your business I'll take you to the promised land" approach but none the less successful when you nail it like David did.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks

Awesome work! Take your claim to fame and post it. If you can do it for one than you can do it for others. Was it for a particular city? Or is the site rank number one for plain city?

I have an accountant in my business group that Iould like to promote to #1 for his KW. I am thinking of doing it free as he might give me some good referrals.
Problem is: his website is rubbish and I fear any new traffic won't result in business - a conversion problem. He does not believe that a #1 ranking will get him any new business (??) but does see a value in being #1 from a prestige point of view ie he will be seen outranking the "big boys".

Any thoughts on how to approach this? have had 2 meetings (and we meet in the group every week). Am tempted to offer SEO to get him higher rankings - he is currently outside the top 200 in the SERPS.

Thanks,
Frank

Also OP - a quick explanation of BMR links?

Hi,

IMHO, you could create a mock-up of the main page for his site, that kicks the butt of his current site / graphically and content wise. Give him an idea of the importance of branding is to make him adapt his page to become better designed and populated (by good informative content with a subtle but perfect sales pitch). Who knows, maybe you can have his page redesigned to make your proposed free SEO service more effective. Just make sure to employ proper tracking on the your clients pages for business intelligence on your end.

If you're referring to what BMR links are, they are links derived from a large private blog network with the brandname buildmyrank. People are saying that BMR is a very good building source because it is heavily moderated, but you have to do some work (you can outsource it though) because you have to provide original written content min of 150 words / link and you can only post maximum of 10 posts per domain a day.

Congrats, David

I agree with others here recommending you leverage this and your other successes in your marketing materials. I also absolutely agree that you ask these satisfied clients for written and/or video testimonials. Another idea would be to offer past clients a fee or a percentage of what you get on referrals. They might be willing to mail for you, or even host a meeting/presentation to their contacts and introduce you: the power of an endorsement

Wished for your continued success

attorneydavid, how excellent! Did you do any citations? Just curious. It's my 2nd month working with my first client so I'm in the trenches. Started BMR a few days ago, will outsource a good number of posts for his videos and sites. I've been hesitating about throwing direct FIverr links at these sites, have you used them directly or indirectly?

Looks like you spread a good variety of links. Congrats!

Thanks

Duplicate...duplicate...duplicate...the fastest way to create a tremendous income is duplication. Now that you have one with this client, rinse and repeat in the same market. You will get to the place you can do it in your sleep because you are not trying to compete on a national level but a local one.

Become the expert in that niche...The go to person they all talk about. I do this with personal injury attorneys. They love what I do for them. I have it down to a system and systems work..

Keep up the good work and be the best you can be at it...
