Customer Background
The company had built a strong offline reputation based on workmanship, reliability, and customer satisfaction. However, its online presence did not reflect that credibility.
Despite operating in a high-demand market, the business faced:
- Limited organic search visibility
- Weak Google Maps positioning
- An outdated website structure
- Low conversion performance
- Competitors outranking them for core service keywords
Their previous website lacked modern architecture, clear service segmentation, and optimized local search signals. As a result, homeowners searching for handyman services in Everett often found competing providers first.
The company needed a digital presence that matched the quality of its services.
The Challenge
Before engagement, several technical and strategic gaps limited performance:
- Outdated website design
- Poor mobile responsiveness
- Weak on-page SEO foundation
- Limited geo-targeted service pages
- Inconsistent citation signals
- Underperforming local keyword rankings
- Low visibility in Google Maps
Although demand for handyman services was strong in Everett, the business was not capturing its fair share of high-intent search traffic.
