Testimonial better than a Stripe notification

*BZZZ*

“Notification from Slack”

Huh?

It’s 6:31 PM on a Friday.

I wonder who’s messaging me at this time? 🤔

Eh… I’ll probably check it out later or… maybe I shou—

*Grabs phone and reads the following message*

===

“This is great…great walkthrough, reports, etc. You have truly shocked me with your work ethic and organization. Very happy with the decision I made going with you on this one…and the results speak for themselves.

Where can I zelle you something on top of last month?”

===

The other day, I received this message from a founder of a brand that we just started working with, and as usual…

We delivered some pretty insane results😎

He just hit his first $1 million month and SEO played a major role, accounting for a little over 11% of revenue ($112,000 to be exact). 

The best part is… 

He had NEVER invested in SEO before.

He was really pleased with the results and wanted to pay us more.

Now… I didn’t take the money because I was just doing my job.

But to be honest with you…

This message felt better than any Stripe notification I’ve ever gotten.

“Better than a stripe notification? How is a positive message from a brand better than getting paid?” — you ask

Sure, I may not be able to pay rent with a testimonial, but when I started my agency 13 months ago…

I set out to build an agency that 1) delivered insane results and 2) was built on a foundation of trust & great relationships. 

And that message is a testament to my commitment to doing so.

Look…

I didn't do anything special. 

I didn’t find any “out of this world” method to do SEO.

I simply didn't take any shortcuts.

And here's the problem with most people…

I get a lot of DMs from guys in their early 20s asking me:

“Kai, how do you automate your SEO agency?”

“What tools do you use to automate your agency?”

Everyone thinks there’s some “shortcut” or “holy grail” to building an agency, growing a brand,  or ranking #1 on Google.

But in reality…

There

Are

No 

Shortcuts

You’re better off searching for gold than you are searching for a shortcut to building a successful business. 

It takes thousands of hours of work, reps, and a lot of passion to be successful at anything in this life, including SEO. 

You can’t automate any of these things. If you could, don’t you think someone would've already cracked the code on it? 

If you want to build a brand, an agency, or rank your site at the top of Google, then you have to be willing to put in the time and effort.

And your goal should be nothing short of building the best agency, brand, or website the world has ever seen. 

Because if your goals are anything short of that, then trust me…

Your heart will not be in it enough to get the results that you are looking for. You’ll give up in 60-90 days, max. 

Speaking of results:

We helped a brand increase their organic search revenue from $43,000 to $72,000 in a little under a year. Want to see how we did it?
