Isn't the real message here that we shouldn't forget that many of us startup geeks can completely out-design and -SEO virtually any local service provider out there and that there might just be big money in doing so?

It is indeed important for him to realize that he'll be 'just an another agency' though and needs to start acting like one.

That doesn't negate the fact that a properly-SEO'd site which outperforms local agencies can be tremendously valuable and achievable.

THAT'S IT! I don't think what I did was that difficult (I had luck along the way, and went over the top in some ways,yes) but at the end of the day, I think this is the main takeaway from this experiment.
