What you actually get
I know you’ve heard claims like this before, and your eyes are about to roll out of your head. In fact, I’m a little surprised (but glad) that you made it this far. Cut the crap: what do you get with Curious ants?
Curious Ants provides step-by-step SOPs, video instructions, and tailored AI prompts so you can confidently deliver effective marketing services to your clients.
If you wish to engage further with Curious Ants, you may attend our weekly Office Hours call. There, you will meet others who also provide marketing services to their clients. This is an opportunity to bring specific questions about unique situations, clarify processes, and discuss client management. You will likely gain valuable insights from both your own questions and from listening to others'.
In addition, the premium tier of Curious Ants includes a regular one-on-one call with me to support you (or your employee) as you implement this on behalf of your clients. Now, before you get the wrong impression, let’s clarify what Curious Ants is not about.
What this is not
This is not a passive income opportunity or a done-for-you service; you must actively support your clients' marketing efforts. It’s designed to be simple and easy for you to do (with AI's help), but you will still need to provide the labor- at least 2 hours a week for each client.
There is no guarantee that your clients will accept a marketing retainer; you must demonstrate its value to them. However, we can help you convince them.
It’s not just an SEO program: we will help you pivot into other marketing channels, like email or social, to maximize the value you deliver to your clients (and charge them more)!
Curious Ants FAQ
Questions about the Curious Ants System
The system helps you implement a marketing plan for your web clients that can generate the recurring income you need.
What is the Curious Ants System?
I’ve taken my more than 15 years of experience providing SEO and digital marketing services and created a step-by-step plan you can follow to provide these services to your clients. Many of these processes can be run through your favorite AI agent. For those processes that can’t (yet) be implemented by an agent, I provide videos and step-by-step instructions to walk you through them. This helps you implement a marketing plan for your web clients that can generate the recurring income you need.
Who are you? Why should I trust your processes?
My name is David Zimmerman. I've spent the last 15+ years of my career helping companies bring more business from their website using SEO and other marketing channels. Notice I didn't say "rank" or "impressions" but more business. In fact, I've generated billions of dollars of revenue for my clients in that time- not just inflated vanity metrics. I've done this without tricks or secrets- just good marketing. That's what I'm going to be sharing with you through Curious Ants.
Why can’t I just use Claude Code to do my SEO?
This sounds like a good idea, but the problem is: where should you start? What do you ask your agent to do? You might just ask your agent, “SEO my website,” but if you’ve had any experience using AI agents, you know that the best results come from specific questions in a limited context window. That’s what Curious Ants does: it gives you the order in which you should implement tasks and even specific scripts and prompts to help your AI agent give you the best results.
Can I keep building websites, too?
I hope you do! Curious Ants is designed to give you supplementary income through recurring revenue. It’s perfect for web designers and developers because it gives you more value to provide your website clients, either on top of your website maintenance contracts or after the website is built. In fact, as a developer, many of these processes will help you as you build your clients' sites, making their websites even more valuable than before.
How much time will this take?
The processes in Curious Ants are designed to keep your time to a minimum- and we’re using AI prompts and scripts to help. The amount of time you give to each client depends on your bandwidth (and how much you charge), but I’d suggest a minimum of 2 hours a week per client to see them grow. There’s never an end to the amount of work you could do- hence the recurring nature of this revenue stream.
Can’t I just download your processes and keep them for myself?
I suppose you could, but you’d miss out on some of the most valuable aspects of Curious Ants: our weekly Office Hours. That's where we all gather together to work through the problems we encounter. Are you confused by a process or edge case? Are you frustrated with a difficult client’s unreasonable questions? Did you read something somewhere that seems contradictory? Bring them to our Weekly Office Hours and ask your questions. In fact, even if you don’t have a question to bring, I think you’ll find other people’s questions helpful too. As I use them for my marketing clients, I will constantly update the human and AI processes. Things are always changing, and Curious Ants is keeping up.
