One person for customer service, another to manage the company, another for the entire SEO and advertising part. I think this would already be the majority of the necessary staff, but of course, the problem is that you haven't clarified what the company would be, because depending on the niche of the company, more or less staff may be needed.

Depending on the size and complexity of the business, they may also need positions in areas like legal, merchandising, and business analysis.
