What is Rank and Rent:

• You build a site, produce content on it till it appears on the search engine and then rent it out
• Local keywords are targeted- such as Dentist Chicago instead of Dentist- your site ranks for the local keyword
• You sell leads to your clients instead of SEO services
• You own the site- focus is building on your website rather than someone else’s- it becomes your asset- if a client leaves you, sell the leads to another client
• Minimal interaction with clients- you do not require permission from your client on any matter here

How its done?

Select a niche- what industry are you interested in?

• Consider the location where you want to be ranked- e.g. Karachi, Islamabad
• Niche should be easy and super lucrative- should have clients who can pay you
• Your Keyword should be profitable in nature- something that attracts clients- must be easy to rank; should cover smaller cities since smaller cities have less businesses that have websites
