So I chose a local niche to rank a site for. Well the site is finally ranking for 6-7 keywords.

My next question is, how do I get clients to rent out the site?

    • Look at the Adwords advertisers for the same keywords (make them a better offer).
    • Look at page #2 of organic SERPs, those guys aren't getting any traffic for your keywords.
    • Like Mike said, pick up the phone.
    • Look at the Services section on Craigslist (do they have a website, do they rank for any keywords?).
    • Look at your local Gov business license online database, any new startups? If so they probably don't have any traffic.

    Get creative.

      I emailed a few potential clients but no one replied. I'll definitely use both your advice right now.

        You will almost never get a response to email, if they even ever see your email.

          Any good openers when I call them?

          For example:

          "Hello [business owner's name] I saw that you're not even on the first page of Google..."

          or

          "Hello [business owner's name] you're leaving a lot of money on the table by not being on the first page of Google..."

          Any advice?

    Haha... Yeah, that I would never give away for free, especially on a forum like this.

    Good luck though.
