What We Do

A digital pipeline that works while you're closing deals.

Brokerage buyers and sellers start online. We make sure they find you first — and convert when they do.

Technical SEO

Site architecture built around buyer and seller journeys separately. We target high-intent search terms — "buy a business in [state]", "sell my [industry] business" — and own them.

Content Strategy

Authoritative articles, deal guides, and industry explainers that rank for the searches your buyers and sellers are making before they contact anyone.

Buyer & Seller Landing Pages

Separate conversion journeys for each audience. A seller has different concerns than a buyer — we design and write for both, maximizing conversions from each traffic source.

High-Performance Website

Fast, accessible, and built to convert. 97 PageSpeed, credibility-first design with deal history, team credentials, and clear calls to action at every stage of the funnel.

Analytics & CRO

GA4 conversion funnels, heatmaps, and A/B tests that surface exactly where leads are dropping off — and fix it. We track cost-per-lead and revenue attribution, not vanity metrics.

CRM Integration

Lead capture connected to your CRM so no inquiry falls through the cracks. Automated follow-up sequences for both buyer and seller enquiries from day one.

Two Audiences, One Strategy

We design for buyers and sellers separately.

Most brokerage sites try to speak to both audiences at once. We build dedicated journeys for each — because their intent, concerns, and timelines are completely different.

For Buyers

Attract qualified buyers before they find your competitors.

Buyers want listings, credibility, and a frictionless path to inquiry. We make every one of those things effortless.

SEO targeting "buy a business in [state/industry]" queries
Listing pages optimized for search and conversion
Deal history and credentials that build immediate trust
Fast inquiry forms with automated broker follow-up

For Sellers

Become the firm sellers find when they're ready to exit.

Sellers are often researching for months before they contact anyone. We make sure your firm is visible and credible throughout that entire journey.

Content targeting "how to sell my business" searches
Valuation landing pages that capture serious sellers early
Case studies and closed deal testimonials for trust-building
Nurture email sequences for long-consideration-cycle leads

The Business Brokerage — Florida M&A firm

Case Study

The Business Brokerage — Florida's premier M&A firm, rebuilt.

TBBI had two decades of successful deals but a website that was sending buyers and sellers to competitors. We rebuilt their digital foundation, restructured the architecture around buyer and seller journeys, and ran a 6-month content program targeting high-intent Florida search terms.

Typical Client Growth

SEO compounds. Month 12 looks nothing like Month 1.

Brokerage SEO builds slowly in months 1–4 as Google indexes new content and authority builds. Then it accelerates — by month 8, most clients are seeing organic traffic and inquiries well above their starting point, and it keeps growing.

*Indexed to 100 at engagement start. Plateau in M10–M12 reflects market saturation at current content volume, not a ceiling. Results vary by market and competition.

Common Questions

Frequently asked by brokerage and M&A firms.

What we hear most from business brokers and M&A advisors thinking about digital.

The highest-ROI strategy for buyer acquisition is SEO targeting search terms like "buy a business in [state]", "[industry] businesses for sale", and "SBA loan eligible businesses". These are high-intent searches from buyers who are actively looking. Supporting that with individual listing pages (each one an SEO asset), a deal history page, and credibility-building content converts that visibility into qualified inquiries at a much lower cost than Bizbuysell advertising alone.

The most effective brokerage content falls into three categories: (1) Buyer guides — "How to buy a business in [state]", "What to look for in a business valuation". These rank well and attract buyers early in their research. (2) Seller guides — "How to prepare your business for sale", "What is my business worth". These capture sellers months before they're ready to list. (3) Industry-specific content — "How to sell a restaurant in [city]", "Buying a landscaping business: what you need to know". These convert at high rates because they match exact intent.

Yes — strongly. A buyer searching for "businesses for sale in Florida" has completely different concerns and intent from a seller searching "how to sell my business". Separate landing pages let you speak directly to each audience's specific fears, questions, and motivations. They also perform better in search — Google can understand the specific intent of each page when the content is tightly focused. Most brokerage sites that try to speak to both audiences on the same page end up converting neither well.

Brokerage SEO typically shows meaningful traffic movement in 3–4 months and inbound inquiry increases in 5–7 months. The compounding nature of SEO means month 12 results are often 3–4× month 3. The good news for brokerages: the 8–12 month deal cycle means SEO built today starts converting into commissions within your first year. The bad news: brokerages that start late keep paying for the same clicks their competitors are getting free.

The right metrics for brokerage digital marketing are: qualified inquiry volume (not just traffic), cost-per-qualified-lead by channel, and ultimately attributed deal closings. We set up GA4 conversion tracking from day one so every inquiry is attributed to the channel that drove it — organic search, direct, referral, or paid. After 3–4 months you have enough data to see clearly which channels produce deal-quality leads and allocate budget accordingly.
