Agencies and freelancers

Find clients on Reddit, LinkedIn and Quora as an agency or freelancer

Clients rarely search for "an agency". They describe the problem: "my store is slow", "is SEO worth it?", "freelancer or agency?". Byline Leads finds those posts on Google's first page and writes a reply that shows you know the work.

Freelancer or agency to speed up my Shopify store?

Reddit, #4 on Google for "freelancer or agency for shopify", United States

Mobile speed score is in the 30s and sales dropped. Not sure who to hire or what it should cost.

88 match Comparing options

Why it matches: Weighs a freelancer against an agency for a store speed fix, which is the service offered.

Reply, ready to edit

Full disclosure: I'm a freelance Shopify developer (Northpine Studio), so I'm biased. Before you hire anyone, remove the apps you no longer use and check the size of your homepage images. Those two often fix most of it. If the score is still low, ask anyone you hire for a before and after report on your own store.

Illustrative result with sample data. Northpine Studio is a fictional business; the post is made up.

What gets in the way

  • Clients describe the problem, not the service

    They ask why their site is slow or whether something is worth paying for, in threads you would never think to search.

  • Work comes in waves

    When you are busy you stop looking for the next client, and the quiet month arrives anyway.

  • Your expertise is the pitch

    A useful answer in public shows more than a portfolio link dropped into a thread.

How Byline Leads helps

  • Problem posts, not only requests

    Posts labelled "Describes the problem" or "Comparing options" are often the best openings for a service.

  • Up to 3 trackers

    For example one per service you offer, each with its own searches, countries and platforms.

  • Replies in your voice

    Read the prompt and change your instructions: tone, length, what to mention. The honesty rules always apply.

Up to 10 new results a day, best match first, each with a reply written in the language of the post. You read it, edit it and post it yourself.
