The SEO Elite Circle is the coaching room I built specifically for agency owners and serious SEO operators who want the same playbook I use to run Goldie Agency, my 7-figure SEO agency with a 50-person team.
This guide breaks down what's inside the Elite Circle from an agency owner lens, who it fits, the two paths to access, and the specific frameworks that move the needle for service businesses scaling past their first million.

What The SEO Elite Circle Is For Agency Owners
The SEO Elite Circle is a paid coaching community on Skool where agency owners and SEO operators get the exact AI SEO playbook we use at Goldie Agency. It includes weekly hot seat calls, direct DM access, swipe-and-deploy SOPs, and private case studies pulled from real client work.
The headline pitch is "Rank #1. Get More Customers. Make Money With AI SEO." For agency owners that translates to ranking your own site for client acquisition keywords, ranking client sites faster with AI-assisted production, and building agency systems that don't depend on you doing every task manually.
The room is designed for operators who actually run an SEO business or are about to. If you're already past your first hire or thinking about it, this is the room.
What's Inside The Elite Circle (Agency-Owner Lens)
There are seven core deliverables and each one maps to a real agency-owner pain point.
The weekly SEO hot seat calls valued at $2,000+ are where you bring agency-specific roadblocks like client churn, fulfilment scaling, or competitive ranking battles and we work through them live on screen-share. The direct DM access valued at $1,000+ means you can ping me with the kind of specific tactical questions that don't fit a public forum. The live calls run weekly with full recordings so you can fit them around client work or travel.
The 8-figure strategies valued at $1K+ are the link building patterns, content frameworks, and AI SEO automations that scaled Goldie Agency past 8 figures. The weekly action plans valued at $500+ save you and your team hundreds of hours by giving you a clear queue of what to ship next. The private case studies valued at $800+ are the secret SEO strategies we don't post publicly because they still work and we still use them. The swipe-and-deploy SOP library valued at $999 is built so your team can copy a working process instead of inventing one from scratch.
Stack the values and you're north of $6,000 in deliverables, which is roughly what one mid-tier SEO consultant charges for a single month of part-time advisory.
Why Agency Owners Specifically Benefit
Agency owners get a different kind of leverage from this room than solo operators do. Three reasons.
The first is fulfilment leverage. Every SOP and action plan inside the Elite Circle can be handed to your fulfilment team. You're not just buying coaching for yourself, you're buying processes that compound across your whole production team.
The second is acquisition leverage. The same AI SEO playbook that grew our content site to 145K monthly visitors works on your agency's own marketing site. Most agencies don't do their own SEO well, which means even modest application of the playbook puts you ahead of competitors.
The third is positioning leverage. Being able to say "we use the same playbook Goldie Agency uses internally" gives your sales team a credibility anchor. The room is small and specific, which is exactly what makes the association valuable.
What Makes It Different From Other Mastermind Rooms
Most masterminds are run by people who teach for a living and haven't shipped real client work in years. The Elite Circle is different on three axes that agency owners care about.
The first axis is operator credibility. Goldie Agency has 50 staff and ships real client SEO every week. The strategies I share are battle-tested against real Google updates on real client sites with real revenue at stake.
The second axis is cohort quality. The room attracts other agency owners and serious operators because the price filter and the specific positioning keep tyre-kickers out. The peer network alone is a meaningful chunk of the value.
The third axis is direct access. Most coaching programs sell you content and disappear. In the Elite Circle you can DM me. That access is what compresses your learning curve from years to months.
The 145K Monthly Visitors Story (Agency Application)
The headline traffic number on the sales page came from a specific AI SEO playbook applied to a content site. The same playbook works on agency client sites with minor adjustments.
The core moves are keyword clustering at scale, AI-assisted content production with a human editorial layer, programmatic SEO for high-volume long-tail patterns, and aggressive internal linking to compound topical authority faster. None of those are revolutionary on their own, but the combined system and the speed of execution are what produce the curve.
Inside the Elite Circle I walk through the specific tools, prompts, publishing cadence, and link building stack. Agency owners apply this on client sites and get faster ranking results, which means happier clients and lower churn.
Member Outcomes For Agency Owners
The agency-specific outcomes I see most often inside the Elite Circle fall into three buckets.
The first bucket is faster client onboarding. Agency owners use the SOPs to onboard new clients in days instead of weeks because the production process is already documented and trained.
The second bucket is higher retainer values. The AI SEO playbook produces faster ranking results, which means agency owners can either charge more or deliver more for the same fee. Either way the unit economics improve.
The third bucket is reduced founder workload. The action plan system means the agency owner spends less time figuring out what the team should do next, which is the single biggest bottleneck I see in agencies stuck at the 100-300K revenue mark.
These aren't guaranteed outcomes. They're patterns I see in members who actually show up to calls and ship the action plans week over week.
Two Paths To Access The Elite Circle
There are two ways to get into the Elite Circle and the right path depends on your stage and budget.
The first path is direct membership at the Elite Circle's standalone price. You get every deliverable I listed above plus instant access and the 14-day money-back guarantee. This is the path for agency owners who already know SEO is the focus and don't need the broader AI automation library.
The second path is through the AI Profit Boardroom at $59/month. The Boardroom includes free Elite Circle access plus a thousand-plus prebuilt AI automations, weekly coaching across the wider AI stack, and the broader founder community. For agency owners who also want AI agent workflows for ops, sales, and content production, the Boardroom path is the better deal.
Watch The AI Agent Foundation
This walkthrough covers the AI agent foundation that pairs with our SEO playbook. Agency owners running both layers get compounding leverage, which is why the Boardroom-bundled path is popular with operators who want the full stack.

Pricing And Guarantees
The current Elite Circle price is locked until we hit 700 members. There are 43 spots left at this rate. Once we cross 700 members the price goes up and stays up.
Every membership includes instant access to the room, full recording vault, and the SOP library. Every membership also includes a 14-day money-back guarantee, which means agency owners can sit in on at least two weekly hot seats and review the SOP library before they're locked in.
The Boardroom path at $59/month carries the same money-back guarantee and includes the Elite Circle access plus the wider Boardroom asset library.
Who The Elite Circle Fits Best
The room fits agency owners at four specific stages.
The first is the new agency owner trying to land their first five to ten retainers. The SOPs and action plans give you a clear path from zero to first revenue. The DM access is the safety net for the inevitable "is this client right" or "what should I price this at" moments.
The second is the agency owner stuck between 10K and 50K MRR. This is where most agencies plateau because the founder is the bottleneck for fulfilment. The Elite Circle gives you the systems to break that plateau.
The third is the established agency owner past 50K MRR who wants the AI SEO playbook to compress fulfilment time and improve margins. The 8-figure strategies are exactly this use case.
The fourth is the in-house SEO lead at a SaaS or ecommerce company who wants senior coaching to bounce strategy off. The DM access alone makes the room worth it for anyone in a serious in-house role.
Who Probably Shouldn't Join Yet
The Elite Circle isn't right for every agency owner. If you don't have a clear positioning yet — what service, for what client, at what price — fix that first because no SEO playbook fixes a positioning problem.
If you can't commit one to two hours a week to showing up and shipping the action plans, you'll get less out of it than the price implies. The room rewards consistent operators.

How A Typical Agency Week Inside The Room Looks
A normal week inside the Elite Circle for an agency owner has three rhythms.
Monday is the action plan drop where you and your fulfilment team start working through the queue. Mid-week is the live hot seat call where you bring real agency roadblocks and we work through them on screen-share. Late week is the SOP and case study drop where I share new agency-applicable templates as we ship them at Goldie Agency.
You don't need to be live for every call. The recordings cover everything and the SOPs are always available. But the live calls are where the deepest value compounds because you can ask follow-up questions and get specific feedback on your specific agency situation.
The DM Access Channel For Agency Owners
The DM access is the value point that agency owner members tell me made the biggest difference. Here's how it works in practice.
You can DM me on Skool with specific agency questions when you're stuck. I respond personally, usually within a day or two depending on workload. The questions that get the most lift are tactical ones with full context attached, like "here's the client, here's the niche, here's what we've shipped, here's the result, what would you adjust?" Vague questions get vague answers.
For deeper strategic dives we use the hot seat calls because the value compounds across the whole agency cohort. The DM access is the safety net for the moments when you just need a sanity check from someone who's been through it.
The Goldie Agency Path For Done-For-You Work
Some agency owners reading this don't want coaching, they want a partner agency to handle overflow or white-label fulfilment. That's where Goldie Agency comes in.

FAQ — SEO Elite Circle For Agency Owners
Is the Elite Circle worth it for a brand new agency?
Yes if you have positioning clarity and you'll show up to calls. The SOPs alone save months of figuring out fulfilment. No if you're still trying to decide what service to offer or who your client is.
What's the difference between Elite Circle direct and the Boardroom path?
The Elite Circle direct is SEO-focused. The Boardroom at $59/month includes free Elite Circle access plus the broader AI automation library and founder community. For agency owners running AI workflows alongside SEO, the Boardroom is the better-value path.
How much time do I need to commit per week?
One to two hours minimum to attend calls and ship action plans. Agencies that send fulfilment team members get extra leverage because they apply the SOPs across multiple client accounts.
Can my team get access too?
The Elite Circle membership covers you personally. For wider team access we usually recommend the Boardroom path because the SOP library can be referenced by your team via your account.
What's the refund policy?
14-day money-back guarantee. Sit in on at least two weekly hot seats and browse the SOP library before deciding.
Will the price go up?
Yes — pricing tiers up at 700 members and there are 43 spots left at the current rate.
Should I join the Elite Circle or hire Goldie Agency?
Join the Elite Circle if you want to scale your own agency with my coaching. Hire Goldie Agency if you want done-for-you SEO including white-label fulfilment for your clients. Some agency owners do both.
Do you actually respond to DMs?
Yes — personally, usually within a day or two. Tactical questions with full context get the best answers.
