Buy your way to the front page with strategic acquisitions.

The Acquisition Shortcut

Major brands have quietly been buying their way to the top of the search results for years now instead of fighting it out to get there.

And in 2025, it's working better than ever.

These big brands aren't just ranking--they're controlling the entire conversation in their niches through strategic acquisitions.

100% White Hat, 100% Effective

If you've been looking for a relatively low-risk way to outspend your competitors and invest in a long term effective strategy that's entirely within Google's Webmaster Guidelines, acquisition SEO is what you've been looking for.

No grey-hat tactics, no algorithm chasing.

Just strategic acquisition of established, legitimately ranking sites.

Want to see this tactic in action?

Look no further than SEO-powerhouse brand Semrush.

They acquired Brian Dean's site Backlinko in early 2022.

And now?

It's one of their biggest sources of referral traffic, along with Brian Dean's other site Exploding Topics and SEO news site Search Engine Land:

And they aren't just using those sites to send valuable referral traffic, but ranking for keywords extremely relevant to the Semrush buyer's journey.

Here's those strategically acquired sites ranking for a strong buying keywords:

Amazing. You just can't buy that kind of placement--oh wait, YOU TOTALLY CAN!

What I'll Do For You:

  • Identify sites already ranking for your target keywords

  • Research their traffic, backlink profile, and growth potential

  • Reach out to site owners (handling all communication)

  • Negotiate favorable terms

  • Support you through the buying process

Here's How It Works

After a quick interview, I'll set up an outreach plan and get started finding sites for you to strategically acquire.

The whole process is pretty hands off for you.

Each week I'll send you a list of well-researched leads to approve/deny.

I'll fire up the outreach engine and get in touch with all the target sites.

Once they respond, we'll hand these super-hot leads off to you or your team.

Need some advice on price or a strategy for integrating with your other brands? I got you covered.

Beyond Just Buying Sites

Acquisition is only the beginning.

You can acquire sites all day but to really turn this strategy into a traffic engine, there's some work that's need doing to really make it take off.

I can either work with your team directly or take care of it all myself.

The Best Way To Get Started

Book a call with me.

No obligation, no stupid sales-y pressuring, we'll just talk through your plans and your site and see if it's a good fit. I'll answer all your questions and we'll decide if it makes sense to work together.

That's it...
