One SEO Partner Per City - A New Way to Build Unbreakable Client Relationships

SEO companies partnering with SmartGuy® have two powerful ways to use the platform - and both create immediate value.

Option 1: Add Client Businesses for Free

SEO agencies can add their client businesses to SmartGuy® at no cost. This instantly gives clients a trusted, indexed presence on an aged, authoritative domain tied into a growing national platform.

This option is ideal if you want to:

  • Improve rankings faster

  • Deliver visible value quickly

  • Strengthen authority signals

  • Enhance existing SEO campaigns

It’s simple, risk-free, and immediately beneficial for your clients.

Option 2: Secure the Premium Spot and Own the Asset

Agencies can also choose to secure the Premium category spot themselves, permanently locking the exclusive position in that city and category.

This approach creates long-term leverage for the agency.

When you own the Premium spot:

  • You control the URL and SEO equity

  • You control directory placement and internal links

  • You control referral network exposure

  • You can assign or reassign the spot to clients

  • If a client leaves, the asset stays with you

Instead of building SEO that walks out the door, you own durable search real estate inside the SmartGuy® network.

Why Owning the Spot Changes Client Retention

Clients leave agencies when they feel services can be replaced.

When you provide:

  • Rankings

  • Authority

  • Exclusive placement

  • Referrals

  • Network access

Leaving becomes expensive. Owning the SmartGuy® Premium spot lets you offer something clients can’t take with them - dramatically improving retention while increasing perceived value.

Additional Upside: High-Margin Blog Placement

Agencies that own Premium listings can also sell a featured SmartGuy® blog placement for $299 while SmartGuy® provides that content to the agency free. That means:

  • New revenue (that alone is MORE than an annual cost for Premium)

  • Strong SEO content for clients

  • Increased authority signals

  • Zero production costs


Two Paths, One Strategic Advantage
Whether you add businesses for free or own the Premium spot yourself, SmartGuy® helps you stand out, deliver more value, and strengthen client relationships. But agencies that own their SmartGuy® real estate gain an extra level of control, retention, and long-term advantage most SEO companies never achieve. Because SmartGuy® aligns with only one SEO company per city, this opportunity is limited by design. Simply Sign up in SmartGuy under the category of "SEO Specialist" as a Premium member.

BONUS: We’re invested in our SEO partners’ success. SmartGuy® will actively promote your agency across your entire city network to help you attract even more clients.
