This video is a behind the scenes case study of how Steve Toth went from copywriter to FreshBooks SEO manager to building Notebook Agency into a seven figure SEO business fast, all by sharing his work in public and sticking to simple, repeatable systems. You will see how he spotted a 300,000 search keyword, built 110 supporting pages, and turned that initiative into $50,000 per week in traffic value, then used one casual LinkedIn post to land inbound clients without a traditional sales process. It covers his transition from side gigs to going full time, why he banked a runway before quitting, how he priced his retainers at 5K then 10K a month, and how a single consultation with a crypto project reframed his value.

Steve breaks down the principles that actually scaled his pipeline, from cataloging tactics in Evernote to launching the SEO Notebook newsletter, applying The Go Giver mindset to share at scale, and setting a ridiculous hourly rate so he could delegate everything below it. You will also hear the real numbers behind projects like BrainStation and an online signature launch that hit number one for another 300,000 search keyword, plus how he navigated the March 2020 lockdown, rebuilt momentum, and grew Notebook Agency to 25 people with 99 percent of leads coming inbound. We dig into AI search realities, zero click SERPs, and what it means to influence decisions in a world where TOFU traffic is not the goal, so you can adapt your own SEO strategy for 2025 and beyond.

If you are building an SEO agency, freelancing, or just trying to get your first clients from LinkedIn, this is the practical blueprint, not theory. Watch now to learn the moves that compound, the mistakes to avoid, and the habits that quietly build a million dollar SEO business.
