SEO CASE STUDY · MBC BUILDING & REMODELING

From position 74 to page one in four months

A kitchen and bathroom remodelling contractor with the reputation, the reviews and the skills, and a website Google could not find or trust. In 120 days it moved to page one across its core service searches, in Google and in AI search.

I recently worked with Zainfy for the SEO of MBC Building & Remodeling, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They managed to boost our ranking from position 74 all the way to page one in just four months. The team’s expertise really made a difference, and I appreciate their clear communication throughout the process.

THE CHALLENGE

Great contractor. Zero online visibility.

The business had the reputation, the reviews and the skills. What it did not have was a website Google could find, or trust.

Buried on page seven

An average position of 74, effectively invisible to homeowners searching for a kitchen remodeller.

Near-zero click volume

Only 56 clicks a month from 7,670 impressions. A 0.7% click-through rate that pointed to weak titles, meta descriptions and brand trust.

Thin domain authority

A low domain rating, minimal backlinks and no referring domain diversity. Almost impossible to compete for high-value terms.

No AI search presence

The business did not appear when homeowners asked ChatGPT or Gemini for a kitchen remodeller, a fast-growing way people now find contractors.

Under-optimised Business Profile

The Google Business Profile lacked the structure, content and consistency to trigger Local Pack appearances for competitive terms.

WHAT WE DID

Six workstreams, one system

Every tactic was built for remodelling contractors, not adapted from a generic agency playbook.

Local SEO architecture

Service-area pages built and optimised with targeted keyword mapping, schema markup and internal linking designed for Local Pack placements.

Business Profile overhaul

Rebuilt from the ground up: consistent NAP, service categories, photo cadence, Q&A seeding and a review response strategy.

Content and copy revamp

Thin, generic service copy replaced with keyword-rich content that answers real homeowner concerns, timelines and budgets.

Authority link building

208 new backlinks and 114 new referring domains in four months, taking the profile to 578 backlinks and 163 referring domains.

Technical SEO and CRO

Crawl issues fixed, Core Web Vitals improved, mobile-first design and trust signals added to turn visitors into consultation requests.

AI search optimisation

Content, schema and brand signals structured so ChatGPT, Gemini and other AI platforms understand, trust and cite the business.
