About us

Built by an operator, not a guru

RankandRent HQ is run by James, who builds, ranks and rents local lead generation sites to businesses. A real portfolio, not theory.

Who is behind this

Hi, I am James, the founder. I do not sell a course or teach from the sidelines. I build and rent local lead generation sites for a living. That is my day job, and it is what RankandRent HQ does.

How it started

My rank and rent operation started small. A few sites, a few tenants, all tracked in spreadsheets. It worked, until it did not. As the portfolio grew, the spreadsheets turned into a mess. Which site sent which calls? Who was due to be billed? Which niche and city was worth building next? I was spending more time managing the business than growing it.

So I fixed how we work. We choose niches by niche and city together instead of guessing. We build and host sites faster. Every site has real call tracking, so each business can see every lead it gets. That is how RankandRent HQ runs today.

Why that matters for you

Most rank and rent advice comes from people selling the dream. This is different. Everything we do was tested on my own money first. When I say a niche is cheap to rank or that call tracking wins tenants, it is because I have done it, not because it sounds good in a lesson.

That is also why the content on this site is honest about the hard parts. Read our take on whether rank and rent works, whether it is dead, and whether it is legal. You will get the real answer, not a sales pitch.

Where we are now

Today we run 100 of our own sites and rent them to local businesses. If you want the calls without building anything, that is what we offer. New to this? Start with what is rank and rent.
