About Sean Markey

a domain name and acquisition-obsessed SEO

Welcome to Ranks (.com)

Why yes, that is a dope domain name.
Interested in how I acquired it? I talk about that below.

I want to tell you a bit about myself in case this is your first time checking me out.

A Quick Bio

I started doing SEO in 2011 (back when it was easy lol).

I spent time working at a link building agency and quit in 2019 when a site ranking for an S-tier affiliate term went nuclear and ranked #1 for both the featured snippet and organic listing for my “best X” term… back when you could actually do that.

I eventually sold that site, and start and sold several more sites totally almost a million dollars.

I accidentally became an expert in using aged domains to rank well and buying selling websites (and then using those sites for SEO, not just to have acquired a business).

This puts me in a pretty rare place, as most people didn’t find themselves in a similar place, with similar experience. Becuase of the time spent buying and selling websites (some I bought, some just buying and selling for the joy of it), I am well position to help you acquire websites and use them like a scalpel (or a hammer, depending on your style) to really elevate your SEO in a way that’s not available to everyone.
