This listing represents a performance-focused B2B marketing services firm established in June 2021, operating in the SEO, Advertising, and Digital Media niches. The business provides marketing solutions designed to help clients increase customer acquisition, online visibility, and revenue through a combination of search marketing, paid advertising, content-driven campaigns, and conversion optimization strategies. Its service offering includes both strategic consulting and hands-on campaign execution, with capabilities spanning organic growth initiatives, lead generation, analytics, and outsourced fulfillment for agency partners, creating multiple recurring revenue streams. The business currently serves approximately 40 active clients, with the top three clients accounting for roughly 20% of revenue over the past 12 months. Client acquisition is driven primarily through Upwork, where the business utilizes automated bidding software to systematically generate leads, supplemented by a significant volume of referrals and repeat business from existing and former clients. As a result, the company operates with minimal customer acquisition costs. The Seller dedicates approximately 5 to 10 hours per week to the business, primarily managing communications with key clients, scoping SEO and link-building projects, and reviewing deliverables prior to client handoff. Day-to-day operations and fulfillment are largely handled by a long-term contractor based in Pakistan, who is compensated through a revenue-sharing arrangement and has indicated a willingness to continue working with a new owner under the current structure. Additional contractors have been engaged on an as-needed basis for specialized projects. This represents an attractive opportunity for Buyers seeking an established marketing agency with a diversified client base and clear opportunities for growth through expanded client acquisition channels, increased retainer-based engagements, and the implementation of AI-driven automation.

Transition

Seller supportThe seller is willing to offer 30+ days of direct email and phone support to answer questions and troubleshoot issues, including a full walkthrough of operations, client acquisition via Upwork, scoping, pricing, and contractor handoff. Support also includes process documentation, an introduction to the primary contractor, and the option for a longer or more structured transition period if needed.

Reason for saleThe Seller would like to explore other opportunities.
