Making Money: Part 4 of 5

SEO and local agencies: the clients you rank online need credit offline

Your local business clients invest in digital presence, but a weak FICO SBSS score can block their funding just as quickly as a bad Google review blocks their leads.

The Playbook

Four steps for local agencies

Identify Ready Clients

Look for clients who mention growth plans, hiring, or equipment. Those are funding conversations waiting to happen.

Run the Free Scan

Offer the 150-point business scan as a value-add. Most clients have no idea how their business looks to a lender.

Present the Gap

Share the scan results. The gap between where they are and where they need to be is your sales conversation.

Earn Monthly

Enroll them in your white-labeled OwnersPath portal. You earn a referral fee every month they're active.

Why It Fits Your Model

Same clients. Same relationship. New revenue.

You don't need to find new clients to add OwnersPath revenue. The business owners you already serve are the exact target market for business credit and funding readiness services.
