Basically I was bored of long SEO cycles so I tried spinning up small lead gen pages in dead local niches.
Picked 3 boring services in small towns, threw up 1 page sites with basic copy and a call form, nothing fancy at all.
What surprised me is 2 of them started getting calls within 2 weeks with zero backlinks, just GMB + citations.
What worked was keeping the offer dumb simple, fr no branding, no blog, just service + phone number.
What didn’t work was trying the same thing in semi competitive cities, those pages just sat there doing nothing.
Costs were low, maybe $30 per site all in, but the tradeoff is these feel disposable and could die anytime.
I even sold one to a local guy for a few hundred just because he liked the call volume screenshot.
Not sure if this scales or if I just got lucky with niche choice, anyone else still doing small local flips like this?
