Why did you say yes to taking over a failing SEO agency when you were already in tech?
Replied byEric Siu
Founder & CEO, Leveling Up at Leveling Up
Niche: Agencies, Marketing
Revenue: $500K–$1M/month
Location: USA
Started: 2014
At first I thought, “Why would I do that? Agencies are not scalable, valuations are not great.” But then I reframed it. If I could turn around a failing SEO agency, it would be like a real-world MBA. It was a test for myself. That challenge felt more interesting than just staying comfortable in a tech job.
