Stop Piecing It Together. Start Scaling with Confidence.
Building a revenue-boosting SEO side of your business takes more than crossing your fingers, duct-taping together a few keyword tools, or hoping a client doesn’t ask a question you can’t answer.
You’re doing so many things right:
-
You’re learning.
-
You’re experimenting.
-
You’re watching tutorials at midnight.
-
You’re offering “a little SEO on the side” to existing clients.
-
You’re trying to piece together packages, trying to price confidently, and trying to create results you can stand behind.
But …you’re tired of guessing.
And you’re ready to step into a scalable, confident, repeatable SEO offer without the overwhelm.
Maybe right now you…
-
Feel unsure how to pitch SEO without stumbling over your words
-
Battle imposter syndrome every time a client asks how SEO “really works”
-
Are confused about what to include in an SEO package
-
Want recurring revenue but don’t have a simple SEO system to offer
-
Want to go beyond “basic SEO tasks” and actually be the expert
-
Worry about not getting results... and losing trust
There has to be a better way.
You dream of finding a way to scale SEO
— without burning out, guessing, or hiding behind low prices.
How would it feel to…
Know exactly what to offer — with pricing that makes sense and sells
Pitch SEO with unshakable confidence and techniques that convert leads to clients
Deliver SEO through a proven process (no more reinventing the wheel)
Generate recurring monthly revenue you can rely on to grow your business
Get better results for your clients — consistently without the stress
Finally break out of the “one-off website project” cycle
This is exactly what you’ll experience at the SEO Surge Summit.
DURING THE SEO SURGE SUMMIT
You’ll learn how to sustainably scale to six figures with SEO offers.
Join us for the SEO Surge Summit to learn from 20+ industry experts about selling, packaging, delivering, and scaling SEO services with clarity and confidence.

MEET YOUR HOSTS
Hi, I’m Sam Sarsten!
I help local service businesses and web designers turn organic search into stable income. I’ve built a multi-six-figure local SEO agency from scratch in under three years by focusing on simple, repeatable local SEO processes.
I built Thencan, a lean SEO + web design agency in Bend, Oregon, starting alone in the corner of my bedroom and growing it into a team of eight serving dozens of contractors, clinics, and other local brands across the US and Canada.
I’ve spoken about SEO at multiple events, contributed to Whitespark's 2026 Local Search Ranking Factors, and I’m looking forward to collaborating with other local SEO experts as we help clients continue to get results from local search in an AI-driven era.
Hi, I’m Anchen le Roux!
Simply Digital Design
I’m a web developer, summit strategist, and digital design studio owner who’s spent 20+ years building websites that work — and helping creatives, service providers, Shopify store owners, and local businesses grow online.
Over the past decade, I’ve supported clients who've gone on to land book deals, celebrity clients, international audiences, and multiple six-figure launches.
Behind the scenes?SEO has been the quiet powerhouse driving many of those results.
I’ve seen firsthand how web designers and small agencies can completely transform their income and confidence by adding a streamlined, results-driven SEO service — without becoming “technical SEO engineers” or burning out trying to learn everything alone
