Stop Renting SEO Agencies

Take In-House

(That works for them… not some bloated agency juggling 10 clients.)

Hiring SEO Agencies Works Short-Term

But Not Ideal Longterm

If you’re paying an agency, here’s the uncomfortable truth:

  • You don’t own their people

  • You don’t own their systems

  • You don’t control their priorities

  • You don’t control the output

  • The moment you stop paying, everything stops

You’re renting marketing agencies… not owning the process.

Agencies can’t scale volume because volume destroys their margins and ultimately they work for themselves as they have employees to feed.

So you get the lowest possible effort with pretty reports.

No actual leverage.

There’s A Myth That “SEO Takes A Long Time”

And it’s true if you have a company juggling 10 clients while speaking to a senior manager in the early months before being put to work with a junior team. (happens all the time with SEO agencies to save costs).

SEO in 2026 is built on manpower, execution and speed.

  • 1 SEO Freelancer can’t beat an SEO Agency.

  • An SEO Agency Can’t Beat A Dedicated SEO Department

A Dedicated SEO Department assisted with AI and LLM beats every agency in existence.

And right now, you don’t have that team.

You have invoices..

What If You Could Build

Your Own In-House SEO Team…

Without Hiring, Training, Babysitting, or Gambling on Random VAs?

That’s the part everyone gets wrong.

Business owners try to hire VAs themselves, and they get:

  • Bad communication

  • Low output

  • No initiative

  • Zero SEO knowledge

  • High turnover

  • People who check boxes instead of producing

We solved every one of those problems by engineering a repeatable system that produces a battle-tested SEO department for your company.

How We Build Your In-House SEO Department

#1. We Source and Filter 500 Applicants

And we don’t guess.

We use DISC Personality Profiles to eliminate anyone who won’t thrive in SEO execution.

From 500 applicants:

  • 250 pass personality filters

  • 50 survive multi-day instruction-following tests

  • 10 complete technical trial tasks

  • Our team screens 10

  • Mike screens 5

  • You get 4 chosen team members + 1 backup

You’re not getting random VAs.

You’re getting people wired for deep work, structure, and precision.

#2. We Train Them for 2 Months

By the end of training, they’re not “assistants.”

They are your fully operational SEO department, trained in the exact systems we use to rank clients.

They master:

  • On-Page SEO

  • Backlink Acquisition

  • Blog Creation and Content Scaling

  • Technical SEO

  • SEO Tools, workflows, and automation

You skip two months of payroll and two years of headaches.

We hand you a finished product.

#3. We Install the Infrastructure

Most people never scale SEO because they don’t have the backend built right.

We set up:

  • Virtual Private Servers

  • Proxies

  • Tools

  • Automation environments

  • Tracking systems

Your team walks into a fully armed operation, ready to produce.

#4. Every Member Has Hard KPIs

We don’t do “busy work.”

We do volume.

Each team member is trained and held accountable to:

  • 5 On-Page Optimized Pages per week

  • 5 Backlink Campaigns submitted

  • 3 Blogs created with unique frameworks

This is how in-house teams outpace agencies 10x.

Pure output.

Pure compounding.

WHY THIS MODEL WINS

Agencies Want Retainers.

We Build Departments.

Agencies scale by doing less work per client.

Your in-house team scales by doing more work for you.

Agencies protect margins. Your team protects your rankings.

This is why companies who install an in-house SEO department never go back.

Because once you own the machine, you never pay rent again.

Stop outsourcing your growth. Start owning it.
