About Poor Man's SEO

Poor Man’s SEO has a pretty simple function.

Here’s the deal:

Google’s algorithm has shifted towards helpful content – which is great for the little guy.

But there’s one problem.

SEO still matters.

But it’s still way too expensive.

You shouldn’t have to inherit a small fortune from a recently deceased family member to be able to do SEO.

Poor Man’s SEO is an SEO agency that started as a passion project created to show you that you can do SEO
– just as well as top ranking sites –
without having to donate your kidneys.

If this site can be created, hosted, and run for less than $50 a month, then there’s honestly no reason to empty your bank account for good SEO.

About Ian

Hey, I’m Ian.

I started learning about SEO in 2021.

Since then, I’ve done work for clients in just about every industry you can imagine, ranked at the top of page 1 on Google, and written stuff for Backlinko.

(Yup, that one). ✍️

When I started out, I couldn’t afford expensive tools.

I still can’t.

It took me time to find the resources and tools that wouldn’t cost a fortune.

And that’s what Poor Man’s SEO is about. It’s our way of sharing what we’ve learned with you — for free.
