Roofing Contractor

Indiana

A four-generation regional roofing contractor serving a 10-city metro area came to us ranking #45 organically, nearly invisible, with lead flow almost entirely dependent on Google Business Profile calls. The mandate: dominate local search and turn the website into a real second lead channel. A proper, methodical campaign delivered GBP map rankings within ~3 months and organic #1 within a year.

From #45 to #1. From 43% to 85% local grid visibility. 660 leads and an estimated ~$2.2M in revenue influenced, two years in, and still climbing.

What we did

  • Took organic rank from #45 to #1 through technical SEO, content & GBP optimization
  • Nearly doubled local-grid visibility (SoLV 43% → 85%) across the 5-mile radius
  • Turned the website into a real lead channel, forms grew from 14% to 38% of the mix
  • Published original, locally-targeted content aligned to storm-damage demand
  • Added and tracked GMB chat as a new inbound channel
  • Built month-by-month, channel-level lead tracking across all 36 months
Data & caveats: Ranking and visibility metrics from Google Business Profile and Local Falcon (5-mile grid); leads from GBP reports and website form records (Jul 2023–present). Rank, SoLV and Year 1–2 lead totals are verified; the baseline is partly back-calculated from screenshots. Revenue is modeled, a 30% close rate and ~$11K average job applied to lead volume, and represents revenue influenced, not booked. Cost per lead is blended across 660 leads (falling to ~$24 at current run-rate).

Fire Safety Consultant

United Kingdom

A fire-safety consultant working a demanding 10 km local-search radius (city centre sitting right at the far edge) started with us in February 2024 for consultation, then handed the entire SEO over as a done-for-you engagement. Within the first year, traffic exploded, keywords tripled, and they took straight #1s.

10 km is a huge radius for local SEO, the city centre sat at the far edge, yet went from 20+ to #2. Organic traffic quadrupled within the first two months and kept climbing all year.

What we did

  • Geo-grid ranking audit + competitor gap analysis
  • Full Google Business Profile optimization (services, products, categories)
  • Optimized website mirroring the GBP, with location pages
  • Content plan, informational + commercial, to grow total traffic
  • Local backlinks: citations, profile links, press releases
  • Regular, high-quality GBP posts
Data & caveats: Traffic and keyword figures from SEMrush; clicks and impressions from Google Search Console (9.8K clicks and 1.13M impressions in the first year, +300% clicks year over year); local visibility from Local Falcon across a 10 km grid. All figures are verified from reporting.

New York

Still holding #1 in a market that grew from 64 to 110 competitors, plus 508 organic keywords and rising AI visibility.
Honest framing: the ~$1.2M revenue figure is a modeled midpoint (leads × realistic close rate & job value), not closed invoices. The verified facts are the 764 leads, the #1 map ranking, and the ~$38 cost per lead. Source: combined GBP call data, deduplicated & spam-filtered form leads, Local Falcon grid scans, and Google Search Console.
