How to Build a Portfolio and Score SEO Clients

Freelance SEO professionals have to start somewhere, usually Fiverr or somewhere else where small businesses are looking for affordable SEO. Unfortunately, it's hard to get clients without a portfolio and until you get clients, you can't build a decent portfolio.

You can offer free SEO services to local businesses for the right to use their business in your portfolio or in a case study. Hit up nonprofits which probably would be able to pay for SEO but they can benefit from additional exposure. Try to get different types of businesses and organizations for a well-rounded portfolio.

Create a few dummy websites and optimize them. Build an e-commerce store, an affiliate blog and a few others that differ from the ones you did for free. If you have the time, let the sites make money for you. You can use the additional income until your SEO business takes off. Optimize the sites and create reports of how well the site is ranking for certain keywords before and after you optimized them.

Consider content creation, which is part of SEO. Write a few articles which have killer titles and engaging content. You can always take content writing jobs for experience as every SEO professional need to know how to create stellar content. You can do a lot of on-site optimization, but content is what the client notices. Besides, if you're good, you can make money creating content for other SEO professionals who are not good copywriters because you understand SEO-friendly content that sounds natural.

Invest in SEO software which can do detailed site audits. Potential clients love getting something for free. Even if they don't buy your service right away, they will remember you and possibly come back when they realize how much work it will take to optimize their website themselves.
