What is this?
Help one type of business improve its search results with clear technical and content work. Start with one simple offer for one type of buyer. Keep the first test small so a weak result does not cost too much. Ask real buyers what they need and what they would pay. Try to get a real sale before you spend more. Use what you learn to improve the next test.

- You can start with one useful skill.
- A small paid job can test the offer.
