THE CHALLENGE

A great contractor with no Google presence

The business was winning on every job site. Online, homeowners looking for exactly this work never found it.

Buried on page seven

An average position of 74. However good the work, a business that far down does not exist for someone searching.

Almost no search traffic

Only 56 clicks and 7,670 impressions a month. Demand already existed, and every missed search was a lead handed to a competitor.

No keyword footprint

Almost no presence for the high-intent searches people make when hiring for tile, bathroom and kitchen work. Territory the business should already have owned.

WHAT WE DID

Three pieces, built in order

Technical foundation

A full audit and rebuild. Every crawl error, broken page and indexing blocker fixed, internal linking restructured and speed improved, reaching a 95/100 health score.

Keyword map and content

Every high-intent search across tile, bathroom, kitchen, drywall and painting mapped to its own page. Ranking keywords grew from near zero to 1,600+.

Authority build

Steady link acquisition took referring domains to 889 and domain rating to 62, enough to outrank long-established competitors.
