4-6 hours initial strategy, 2-3 hours weekly ongoing

Description

Transform your generalist agency into a vertical-specific authority by narrowing focus to one industry, enabling premium pricing, faster sales cycles, and expert positioning. While most agencies chase any client that comes along, niche agencies become the "go-to" for specific verticals—closing deals in 10 minutes vs. hours of pitching. Seven Figure Agency has helped 133+ digital marketing agencies reach $1M+ revenue using this approach, with agencies consistently reporting 2x revenue growth within 12-24 months of niching down.
