~Learn the best SEO keywords for your area and change as needed.

If mom and pop did poor marketing and you bring in professional-grade internet SEO and other methods you could theoretically double your revenue in one year without any additional cap-x.

There has been a great shift away from YP advertising as owners are moving more towards SEO programs and the Internet for advertising.

They spend $10,000 or more per month on SEO, SEM, direct mail, direct email, text, and call center 2.

As both a Realtor with over 32 years experience (and Broker in Charge and owner of my firm), and an Investor- I'll tell you that you will have MUCH more exposure in the market using a Realtor (we pay a LOT of money for marketing, Google SEO, and the MLS is linked to Realtor.com, Homes.com, Redfin, Trulia, Zillow (which we hate due to the massive inaccuracies), and to every other Brokerage's websites also in the area through Broker Reciprocity.

We would also run a text campaign, some SEO and some targeted mail.

However, sourcing your deals off-market should also be considered if you intend to flip full-time.Regarding sourcing deals directly from the seller, you can explore SEO, direct mail, cold calling, and anything that gets you in front of motivated property owners.

You're doing the client's SEO -- i.e. they're getting all their leads from you or more leads because of the enhancements you put into their website/search rankings?
