Collector Leads Core: Lead Generation for Online Comic Book Sellers
Collector Leads Core is CollectorLeads.com's package for online comic book sellers: eBay dealers, Whatnot sellers, and buyers who operate without a physical storefront. We build your site, cover 10 counties in your state, launch your ads, and manage everything monthly so sellers in your market find you instead of the other way around.
Built for Online Sellers Who Buy Comics and Collectibles
You're active in the hobby. You run eBay, you sell on Whatnot, you go to shows. You buy collections when you can find them, but finding them is the problem. You're spending time hunting instead of buying, and the sellers who'd come to you first don't know you exist online.
Collector Leads Core fixes that. It's built specifically for buyers who don't have a physical store but want a professional online presence that generates consistent inbound leads from sellers in their state.

One Core Client Per State. No Internal Competition.
CollectorLeads takes one Core client per state. Once your state is taken for Core, it's taken. We won't build the same system for a competing online seller in the same state while you're active. A state can have one active Core client and one active Pro client at the same time since they're buying from different audiences, but never two Core clients competing in the same market.
That means the system we build for you isn't being replicated for your competition. Your 10 county pages, your ad campaigns, your photo submission form. They're yours alone in your state.
If your state is still available, that's worth knowing before someone else applies.
10 County Pages Built Around How Sellers Search in Your State
Most comic buyer websites are built to look good, not to rank. They list what the buyer purchases, maybe a contact form, and that's it. Nobody finds them.
Collector Leads Core is built the other way around. We research what sellers in your state are actually searching, things like "sell my comics in [county]," "comic book buyer near me," "where to sell a comic collection in [city]," and we build 10 dedicated county pages around those terms. Each page is written specifically for that county, with real geographic content, not a template with a location name swapped in.
The result is a site that shows up across your entire state, not just your zip code. Google sees a business that clearly serves your market. Sellers see a buyer who knows their area.
Ads That Run From Day One
SEO builds over time. Ads fill the gap while it does. Every Collector Leads Core package includes a $99 per month starter ad budget drawn from your monthly fee, plus full campaign management.
We research which searches sellers are making in your state, write custom ad copy tested against real search terms, and optimize the campaigns monthly. You get monthly reporting so you can see exactly what's generating inquiries and what's being spent.
You can increase your ad budget at any time. The $99 is a floor, not a ceiling.
See What They've Got Before You Pick Up the Phone
Every Collector Leads Core site includes a custom photo submission form built specifically for collection and estate inquiries. Sellers upload photos of what they have, you review them before you ever make contact, and you go into every conversation knowing whether it's worth your time.
The form is designed for the way sellers actually think. It asks for what they've got, the condition, the quantity, and how they want to be contacted. We build it around your buying focus: comics, cards, toys, estates. That way you're getting the right information from the right people.

Paul's Comics & Collectibles | Online Seller, eBay Store, Comic Con Vendor | New York
Paul had built his own website and it wasn't doing anything. No visibility, no leads, nothing converting. He does shows, runs an eBay store, and buys collections across New York, but sellers couldn't find him online. He came to us ready to build something that actually worked.
We built Paul a fully custom site, copy written around what sellers in his market search, county-level pages across New York, a custom photo submission form, and a full Google Ads system. The leads started coming in fast.
I cannot thank CollectorLeads enough for taking my business to the next level. I approached them with a stagnant website that was receiving limited exposure from potential clients. Scott and team transformed my site into a beautiful and appealing site that has been receiving immediate exposure. They have earned a customer for life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Collector Leads Core
Do I need a physical store to use Core?
No. Core is specifically designed for online sellers: eBay dealers, Whatnot sellers, and buyers without a storefront. If you do have a physical location, Collector Leads Pro is the better fit.
Which state do you build the county pages for?
You pick your state at intake. We research the 10 most relevant counties based on population, search volume, and where your buying activity is strongest. You review and approve the county list before we build.
What does the photo submission form look like?
We build it custom for your buying focus. It typically asks for photos, a description of what they have, approximate quantity, condition, and how they want to be contacted. It's not a generic contact form. It's built to qualify leads before they reach you.
How long before I start seeing leads?
Ads typically start generating inquiries within the first few weeks after launch. The county pages build organic visibility over the first 60 to 90 days as Google indexes the site and gains confidence in it.
Can I link my eBay store or Whatnot channel?
Yes. Every Core site includes links to your eBay store, Whatnot channel, or any other platform you sell on. We make it easy for buyers to find your inventory wherever they shop.
What's included in the $399 per month?
Hosting, SSL, daily backups, security monitoring, Google Business Profile management, Google Ads management with $99 starter ad spend, SEO maintenance, and 1 hour of monthly edits and support.
Is there a long-term contract?
Collector Leads Core requires a minimum 12-month commitment. We build to a standard that takes time to perform, and 12 months is the window where everything compounds into consistent, reliable lead flow.
