Frequently asked questions

Rank and rent is a business model where you build a small local website, rank it on Google for “ready to hire” searches (like “retaining wall contractor in Carlsbad, CA”), and rent the leads it generates to one local contractor. In the Sign Build Run method the contractor gets the leads for free and pays you 10% of every job they close, in writing.

The Rank & Rent Starter Kit: a digital download with 7 modules and 22 files — PDF guides, spreadsheets (the City Picker and the Money Tracker), copy-paste messages, a commission agreement template and two Claude skills (WordPress Site Builder and Cost Calculator). Links are emailed to you after payment. Nothing physical is shipped. See everything inside the Starter Kit or a sample of the agreement template.

Complete beginners who want to earn from home without cold calling or sales calls — students, people with a day job, introverts. No technical or agency experience is assumed: Claude does the technical work with the included skills and you follow the steps.

No. Contractors are found through local Facebook groups and LinkedIn, and every step — screening, the agreement, sending the lead, follow-ups and invoices — happens in writing. The kit includes every message. Here is the full no-cold-calling method.

About $60–$170 beyond the kit: web hosting with a free first-year domain, plus Claude Pro ($20/month) while you build. WordPress, the plugins, Facebook and LinkedIn are free. Prices change, so check at checkout.

My first leads came 1–3 months after launch. Many sites take longer, and some never rank. Nothing in the kit guarantees rankings, leads or income — it gives you the process so your effort goes to the right things.

You give the first lead to a contractor for free after they sign the agreement. When they close a job you invoice 10% in two halves — half after the homeowner’s deposit, half when the job is done. The Money Tracker spreadsheet tracks every lead, job, invoice and due date.

Any computer that can open PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx) and text files, plus a Claude account for the prompts and skills. The website-build materials are written for WordPress.

The spreadsheets, Word templates, messages and prompts are editable. The PDF guides and checklists are designed to be read and followed.
