Hi guys :)
First of all I want to apologize for my English because I am Spanish and one of the reasons why I interact in this community is to improve it.

This is the first experiment that I show in the forum and my first SEO project in google focused on Rank and Rent. What I will tell you that I am doing is under the knowledge that I am learning as I go along because I do not like to overanalyze things, I like to take action.
I started this experiment on June 1, 2022 (one of the websites I created in May and I indexed it but without doing anything until June), my estimate was to have 10 websites of different niches but I have not had external help to make the websites and apart from this experiment I have to attend my other businesses so I have only managed to build 6 until today.

What is the real goal of this experiment?
Generate my first profits at the end of 2022 and beginning of 2023 by positioning in google, that's why I am building so many websites at the same time.

How are we going to generate income?
We are going to earn money by renting the websites because in Spain I don't know of a good affiliate network to sell leads. There are some networks like habitissimo but I would have to dedicate more management time per month to the websites and I don't want it to take too much of my time.

What is the population of the city I have chosen?
It is a city in Spain with 137000 population and constantly growing. I have chosen this city because I grew up in it and although I don't live in Spain I currently have many contacts there, so I thought I would take advantage of it.

Tools for make websites
  • Astra + Elementor for the design
  • Plugins for forms, GPDR, SEO, Sendinblue for sending emails, Zadarma to have your own number. I try not to install unnecessary plugins.
  • DinoRANK to manage keyword tracking, backlinks for each niche, analysis of new keywords.
  • I buy the domains from DonDominio and for hosting I use SiteGround.
  • All the text written so far has been done by me, but by chance today I have started to order content for different websites already created.
  • I have bought a pack of 100 for 4 of the sites.
Costs and Estimated revenues
-7fF9-kbbIzBo8t6Fzg3mkEBN1QFkt0IWZ_HPZs3sCQ9m7sXovyBcHHvRvTIlq4el12lGXcDFt43Rvs9zKyZ2kjNh6BD078WcbErxSHoo3XHbc2xkGMwISgADNjcSU6F-BVqllT42JIECPfHWg

My idea is to rent each website for at least 200€/month each website, but when I negotiate the price my initial offer will be higher. According to the leads and the price of the services the average price should be higher, but this billing is not uncomfortable for me and from my own experience I don't want to freak out putting better numbers.
In the screenshot you have all the costs I am having and the possible future numbers I would like to have.

  1. Cleaning company -> I just finished this website and it seems that it has just been indexed on June 29th.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So far so good, I still have 4 websites to reach the 10 I want to have until the end of the year but this month of July I have some trips and I will only dedicate it to add content to the ones I have and maybe I will add some backlinks to the new ones.

By the way, I haven't created any GMB because I want to create it when I have rented the web so I can verify it with the real business (at least that's my idea).

I am open to any kind of advice that can help me to position my websites faster, any question is welcome.

I will update when there are important changes in any web,
greetings to all :)

What about competition? I can imagine that a massage center covers all the important keywords or at least platform.
 
This looks interesting, remembered doing these a couple years back for kokomolocksmith.com.

The problem after ranking for target was not having enough population / SV in geo. Wishing you enough success in your journey but make sure to check the geo demography data before putting money on it. "Don't be like me"...

I have analyzed the top10 competition and keywords and it is low.

Thanks friend, according to what I have read in other threads a city above 120000 is a good population density. Hopefully it's true, I'll be telling it on the thread.
 
What does "rent" mean in rank and rent? Anyway good luck with your journey! :)
Well, the idea is to position the website in the first positions of google and give the clients to a company that offers the services of the niche that I have positioned for a monthly rent. Thanks!

Send me a PM let me share you a website for more clarification.

instead of having multiple websites you can focus your effort on one domain then sell/rent target local pages. In the long run, you become an authority in that geo. Build and rank other local businesses pages without much effort.

I think I can't or can't find the option to send you a PM :/
but I'd like to see what you say.

Maybe @Topiano have to PM you as you are "new" to the forum and might not meet those requirements yet to send PM's
 

Update August 2022​

Hi guys, this is the first update in this series. I haven't really spent any time on this project, I have only worried about all the pages being indexed.
Here is a screenshot comparing the current positioning with June 29, 2022.

  • Massage center
The main keyword I am interested in is the one in position 47, it is the one that includes the name of the service and the location. The impressions I have are similar to the ones I had in June. I didn't add backlinks to this project (I'm thinking if this web is really worth it).

  • Management for businesses
The impressions are going up, curiously on Saturdays is when more searches are made of this niche. I added some backlinks to this niche since the last update and I think I will continue adding them, I also want to update and add more words to the home page. This web especially I would like to position it because I have contacts to rent it to.

  • Wood and metal carpentry
This site also received about 25 links (although some were lost along the way) and I hired a copywriter to put some good content on it. The impressions are virtually unchanged from June.

  • Painters
Not updated with new content.

  • Junkyard or Scrap metal
This website has already given me about 3-4 calls this month, it seems to me very few because I am well positioned and this niche is for a larger population (680,000 population). Does anyone have experience with this niche?

I am thinking of adding more content to it and try to rent it out.

  • Cleaning home

Conclusions so far:

I'm a little frustrated because I may have chosen a town with few inhabitants with low volume keywords. I don't know if the data will change when positioning in first position your main keyword.
I have learned to know how to look for better niches, at least in reference to the volume of searches they have monthly.

Greetings friends, we will continue to fight.
 
When you do local you need to do good keyword research because there are a lot of low-hanging fruit that SEO guys don't go after (like suburbs and neighborhoods for instance)
 
It's been a while since I updated this thread but I'll let you know how the project is going:
- I have managed to negotiate to take commission for the work on the website of painters and carpentry and in March I earned 140 € of commission with the website of paintings (not much but there were many holidays in the city and if few calls were noticed), with the website of carpentry 2 days ago I work with a carpenter and have already been called several times, I have not yet received any budget.
- I eliminated the web of management for businesses because I couldn't climb more positions and I couldn't get a client to rent it.
- The one that gives me the most calls is the scrap metal website but I can't find any company to rent it to.

I'm not really renting websites or selling leads, I'm taking a commission for every quote they accept to the company.
This month I will start new websites in other countries, at the moment I only did it for Spain. I will try to continue this thread.

Best regards.
