Hi all, I've been struggling with finding local businesses to actually buy or lease my ranked sites, and I know a lot of people here have been too. I spent some time working through it last week, and here's a simple way I solved it for less than $10/m: 1. Scrape every business in your site's niche and city from Google Maps. I use a free Chrome extension (Map Lead Scraper, there are a dozen like it), takes 10 minutes and gives you name, phone, website and email for 100 to 300 businesses. 2. Sort the list by who's already paying for leads. Search your main keyword and note which businesses are running Google Ads but not ranking organically. Those are your buyers. They've already proven they'll pay for calls, they're just overpaying Google for them. 3. Download a free mail merge for Gmail (I use YAMM, free tier is lije 50 sends a day) and send a short plain-text email: "I own the site ranking #1 for X in Y. It gets Z calls a month. Want me to forward them to you for a week, free, so you can hear the quality yourself?" 4. This is the part that changed everything: put a Twilio number on the site (about $1/m) and actually forward the calls to your best prospect for 7 days. Then follow up with and ou're not pitching SEO anymore, you're taking away leads they've already tasted. Total cost: Twilio number $1.15/m, a Gmail address. Well under $10/m, and the first yes for me came witjin two weeks. If anything is unclear, let me know. Hope this helps you 🙏

Most people do their SEO one prompt at a time. Open Claude, paste a prompt for keyword research. New chat, another prompt for the content. Another one for the metadata. Starting from scratch every single time. That is the slow way, and it is why most AI SEO comes out inconsistent. You don't need better prompts. You need skills. A Claude skill is a reusable instruction that Claude runs the same way every time. Instead of re-explaining yourself, you say the keyword and it executes. Below are the 5 I actually use: research, content, on-page, internal linking, and AI visibility. All 6 zips are attached to this post (5 skills plus the setup one). **Set this up first, or none of it works properly** Use the Claude desktop app, and connect it to real SEO data before you touch a skill. Without live data Claude is guessing. It might be a decent guess, but it has no native access to search volumes, crawl data or citation data. 1. Make a free DataForSEO account here 👉 https://app.dataforseo.com/?aff=182182 (you get $1 of free credit on signup, and it goes a long way. It's pay as you go, so if you don't use it you don't pay for it, and a full run of all five skills costs cents rather than dollars) 2. In Claude: Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector 3. Name it `DataForSEO`, URL: `https://mcp.dataforseo.com/mcp` 4. Connect, approve the OAuth screen, and choose "allow all" on the approvals so it stops interrupting you (HERE is a detailed guide on how to connect DFS to Claude) 5. Settings → Capabilities → turn on code execution and file creation 6. Create a Claude Project named after the website you're working on. One website, one Project. That is where the site's memory lives. Then upload all 6 zips: Customize → Skills → upload skill, one at a time. 🟢Skill 0: Site Brief Builder (the one that makes the other five yours)🟢
