Hey Taktical, I was wondering if you could give us an update on your business success right now, I'd be really inspiring for me. Are you still making the amount of money you mentioned in the OP or are you enjoying more success a year later?

What kind of service are you providing the business to get a 6 figure contract? I'm hard at work on my offline marketing business which focuses on motion FX video production and a little business listing optimization on the side. However if there's something better out there then I may be...

I want to know if I can still hire someone who did Google Places, and if that someone can rank in Google Local seeing how it's a new thing. I basically want to if I can still white-label a Google Local service and outsource the work to someone that can get the job done.

Awesome thread here guys. I just have a couple of questions I was asked when doing this by potential clients and I'd like to know the answer to them. 1) Is this a legal business you're running? (manually manipulating google results in your favor) And even if so, is it against the Google TOS...

Is the guy mentioned on warrior still doing a good job at Google Places? I'm thinking of using him to do the actual work, just want to be sure he's the guy :)

I will. My plan was to offer simple websites for a one-time fee and then if they wanted more exposure I'd offer the SEO, while listing the risks involved in it. If they wanted to move forward I would have then passed on the job to someone here who could get it done. But right now I'm just...

I was planning on relabeling SEO services to my clients (outsourcing SEO). This topic brought up a very important issue. If this is the case, and considering link-building is against google's TOS, what are the chances of Google finding out about it and removing my clients site from the search...

Awesome job on taking action. Following. I'm wondering btw, what does your pricing structure look like after working on it?

Personally if I was just using a template website and they want to change colors often and such I'd charge $40 minimum per edit. You have to remember, and emphasize, that their website is designed to bring in more leads. Any changes made by the client jeopardizes the goal of the website and an...

I'd recommend getting someone to go with you on these meetings you set up with clients and have him translate. Or you can train a reliable bilingual individual to close the sales with the Spanish speaking clients and pay him commission for every closed sale. The Spanish market is definitely...

Google knows the general location of a user just by seeing its IP address. So if you type pizza in the search bar, you should be getting a Google listing of nearby pizza restaurants, instead of worldwide results.

Can't you just use FreshBooks for billing? Send them a monthly invoice with FreshBooks that can be paid in either paypal or by credit card.

Not bad. I notice you're not charging the setup fee. Will that be part of the 1st month? I'd highly recommend a setup fee. Personally I'd do the following: Set-up fee: $1500 Monthly: $1000 w/ no contract 6 month contract: $950/month total upfront 12 month contract: $850/month total upfront...

Awesome, thanks for the fast reply. Just for good measure though, I shouldn't send you more than 2 clients in the same niche and city right? Let's say I have 2 A/C repair guys in Houston, TX wanting SEO work, then a 3rd and 4th want in as well, should I just decline their offers? Another...

Like I always say, "go for broke". BTW do you only accept checks right now or actually, how do you deal with billing? Most potential clients I speak to only want to use credit card for these types of things, especially when their card is tied to the company's funds. And as a lone wolf right...
