Agency Factory in it's current state is an EXCLUSIVE asset for Soldiers of Sales current members and alumni only!
Most agency owners who go through the Soldiers of Sales program work within the home services niche (including the founders of Agency Factory), and therefore we've decided to share with you the systems, processes, assets, and solutions that work so well for our own clients.
If you work in a niche outside of home services, feel free to reach out to us via the chat widget and ask if we can help you out! If your industry is close enough, we can find a way to make it work. If we can't make it work, but we have enough students/alumni within the same niche, we can develop solutions your niche that mimic all of the same benefits that make our current processes so high quality.
At Agency Factory, we look to earn your business for life, WITHOUT making you rent SEO services from us.
We've found that providing generic, monthly managed services lead to questions like "Will this work for me particularly?" or "What kind of quality work am I getting?" and that just leads to an uncomfortable situation for you as an agency owner.
We put your success first at Agency Factory, because we understand that if you don't get results for your clients, you're the one they are looking to for answers.
That's why we focus on quality with all of our services, and provide you with exactly what you need to provide your own custom SEO solution for any client.
We even go as far as researching the entire custom solution for you with our Competitor Link Research!
There are three major components to great SEO:
Authoritative Content (and On-Site Technical Optimization)
Authoritative, Trust-Building Citations,
and High Quality Backlinks.
If your clients site is built on Elementor Builder on Wordpress, we can add pages and optimize it. If they have a website built with any other builder, we would need to rebuild it ourselves to ensure that it is properly optimized; just make sure you have all of your keyword research completed, and your website plan already broken down into what pages you want, and how many words you want on each page. This takes care of the first of the three major components of SEO.
Next, you'll want citations. With our Top USA Citations Packs, we offer various amounts of citations you can order for your clients. All directories are based in the USA, and are already being used by 100s-1,000s of other businesses in the same niche, meaning they will add topical relevance to your website. This takes care of the second of the three major components of SEO.
Finally, you'll need to add enough backlinks until you are deemed more authoritative than your competition, with better content and better citations. To do this, we give you everything you need to do what many of us have learned as "the copycat method," where you just copy the backlink profile of your main competitors. The copycat method is easy in concept, but we've found that most agency owner's drop the ball when it comes to actually doing the necessary research, and we don't blame them! It can be very time consuming and sometimes confusing to do your own backlink research, and so many people skip it, and try to "overstep" the copycat method by buying "monthly managed link packages."
With Agency Factory, we offer our Overnight Competitor Link Research service, where we research your top 10 competitors backlink profiles, analyze what links they have in common, figure out what links you're missing, and then categorize those links into Directories, Guest Posts, Private Blog Networks (PBNs, "link circles," or "link juice"), Web 2.0s (free blogs you can write yourself), and Other Backlinks (typically spammy "coupon style" links, or low quality directories.) From there, all you need to do is be placed in the same directories, get the same (or better) guest posts, and then beat their PBNs. You can purchase Guest Posts from Agency Factory, you can replace PBNs by posting in SEO groups looking for link circles, and then with our Link Placement/Verification service, we will go through your list of remaining directories to place, and either place you in them if they are free, or if they have a cost associated, we will provide you with their listed price and the direct link for you to order that link.
When it comes to Web 2.0s or "Other Links", since they are typically so low quality, we recommend taking the route of getting an extra guest post or two to replace all of them, as a great link from a real website with actual traffic could be better than a hundred low quality spammy links.
From this point, you will have a website that is perfectly optimized, has all the necessary citations, and has all of the backlinks of all of your top competitors combined.
Some tips for improving your SEO efforts:
Add More Content - Whether at the beginning when planning your website, or after you've already begun ranking your site, Google loves great content. This doesn't necessarily mean make each individual page explode with thousands of words of content, but rather, go more in-depth with the topics on your site, and don't be afraid to add more pages to cover topics more in-depth. Google's goal is to make sure that the website in the #1 spot is able to answer all possible questions about the searchers question, so if you can provide all of that information across your website, Google will look at you as the most valuable source of information, and place you at the top accordingly.
Get Specific With Your Page Topics - If you think of what Google is from the most basic perspective possible, it just organizes all of the public pages onto the internet into a giant folder system with a search bar that we can all use.
It's the same as if you opened the "Explorer" on Windows (or the "Finder" on Mac) and started looking for a specific file on your computer, except it's with all of the public pages on the internet. With this in mind, if you make their "folder organization" process easier, they will reward you and rank your site higher.
This is why you don't want to have overlapping keywords on your home page (or any page for that matter). For example: if you have all of these keywords on one page:
"roofers Dallas tx"
"roof contractors dallas tx"
"roof repair dallas tx"
"roof installation dallas tx",
We would recommend you leave "roofers dallas tx" style keywords on the home page, and break those remaining keywords down into their own individual pages, and use only extremely similar keywords on each of those specific pages.
You cannot be penalized for being too specific, but you WILL be overlooked for going too broad.
If you want to see an example of a website that is ranking extremely well with very few backlinks going to it, check out https://www.dfwredlineracers.com/ on Ahrefs or a similar tool, look at how many keywords that include "dallas" are ranking on the first page, and then look at how many referring domains it has, and how little power the site has. Then take a look at how many pages are listed, and look at how specific each page title is. All we are doing with that site is adding content to keep costs down, and they continue to climb in the rankings.
At Agency Factory, we provide "a la carte" complete productized services to help you solve all of the necessary tasks for SEO. When we first launched, we made sure we had everything necessary to provide a business owner with a fully ranked website.
As time goes on, we will be adding more and more services, to help make our customers lives easier in more ways. Whenever we launch a new service, the first thing we do is add it to the website, and send an email out to all of our subscribers.
If you haven't subscribed to our email list yet, you can do so by scrolling to the bottom of the home page and giving us your name and email in the Newsletter Signup Form.
If you think there are certain services that we should offer, send a suggestion on our suggestions page!
We'd love to instantaneously offer every service that every digital marketer needs, but when quality is your highest priority, it takes time to test and refine processes to make sure they reach our standard.
We will never rush releasing a product or service, as we refuse to risk damaging your (or your client's) business by releasing a service that hasn't been tested.
Whenever a new product or service is offered, we will reach out and announce it, and we will do this every single time, so don't worry about missing it.
You'll also see the product updated on our website.
You can see our future planned services by going to the corresponding page for that!
We ask that instead of reaching out to us and asking when something will be released, just please be patient and know that it's coming as soon as possible: we want to give to you as badly as you want to get it from us.
