Strategic Approach

After providing the client clarity on where their ad dollars were going and the results they were getting for their spend, we recommended proper budgets for paid search and display.

With a strong focus on their key markets, our team deployed a robust Local SEO strategy aimed at improving the awareness and relevancy of their brand across the various markets and service areas. To improve organic traffic, we also developed and implemented a multifaceted, on-going SEO strategy that included improving the ranking of targeted keyphrases, well-optimized content marketing, and on-page enhancements.

In terms of data analytics, this client had a great understanding of their numbers, the volume of leads they needed to generate, and the average value of their projects. Initially, we brought additional insight to what they were paying for, and the output this generated in the form of leads. From there, we conducted a full sweep of their analytics, and then established key performance indicators (KPIs), and conversion points that strategically aligned with their business goals and objectives.
