2) Find someone to sell it to

3) Go sell it

Buying shit-WSOs will just send you further in the wrong direction.

Create a website , outline prices/packages.

Pick phone, call local business and offer your services. post ads on craigslist etc.

You know how to do SEO yourself ? or trying to outsourcing this ?

Local businesses primarily need more people coming in, aka more leads. So first off, see 'which' local businesses are even worthy of targeting.

Meaning, find out what people would search locally...(dentists, restaurants, car/other repair services come to mind)

Then once you know which ones would definitely use some online help, research and find out which businesses actually have websites! (You'll be surprised to see how many still dont!)

Once you have narrowed down 10-20 (or 50) businesses, approach them, and dont try to sell your services, rather tell them how much change/new business it could bring them.

One trick I tried many years ago was that I created 3 landing pages for 4 local businesses and routed all queries from this landing page to them directly. Once I had sent enough inquiries (tracking script), I actually approached them and showed them the proof = "x" people searching for you, "y" people coming to my landing page = "z" people actually contacting you, now tell me, where should we sit down to talk??

In short, your first task is to identify who would need the help, then identify where they would need the help, and then provide a turn-key solution... not just "a website"...

Oh by the way, if you're working alone, here's a wonderfully simple yet extremely useful guide to pricing your services:

Breaking the Time Barrier

Not directly targeted to what you're doing, but assuming you're working alone, this will help you tremendously in your pricing strategies...

-Do you need information on how to SEO?
-Do you need information on how to sell and develop clients?
-Do you need information on how to legally start a LLC?

The question is ambiguous

Are you looking for something that shows you how to actually set up a business or something that shows you specifically how to do local SEO?

There are many courses out there that can help you become an Offline Marketer. Like said above, you need to learn the skills or you can outsource everything but the money is less. Good luck !!!
