Project Timeline

Client Onboarded: June 2025

Campaign Duration: 3 Months (2025)

Objective

The primary objective was to transform the company’s static website into a dominant local lead-generation engine. Key goals included:

  • Dominate local search results for high-intent service and location-based keywords.
  • Dramatically increase the monthly volume of qualified quote requests.
  • Establish the company as the go-to authority for paving and sealcoating services in its region.

The Challenge

Six months ago, the client’s website was an invisible online brochure, failing to produce any measurable business. The core challenges included a lack of topical focus, zero visibility in local search, a poor technical foundation, and no clear strategy to convert visitors into paying customers.

The Solution: A 3-Pillar Strategy

Our partnership executed a comprehensive SEO strategy focused on a robust technical foundation, customer-centric content, and regional authority building.

Pillar 1: Technical SEO Foundation (Months 1-2)

We conducted a deep technical audit and implemented seven critical fixes to improve performance, security, and crawlability:

  1. Crawlability & Indexation: Resolved over 30 broken internal links and fixed critical indexation errors that were preventing Google from properly reading the site.
  2. Security Enhancement: Implemented HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) to enforce a secure connection across the entire site.
  3. Additional Security Headers: Deployed X-Content-Type-Options and X-Frame-Options headers to protect against common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Site Speed Optimization: Compressed all website images and implemented lazy loading, reducing initial page load times by over 50%.
  5. Code Minification: Minified CSS and JavaScript files to reduce server requests and speed up rendering.
  6. Schema & Structured Data: Implemented LocalBusiness and Service schema markup to give search engines detailed context about the business’s services and location.
  7. Mobile-First Optimization: Restructured the site layout and navigation to ensure a seamless experience for users on mobile devices.

Pillar 2: Hyper-Local Content Strategy (Months 1-6)

  • Commercial & Geo-Targeted Pages: We developed a total of 12 commercial landing pages. This included 4 core service pages (Sealcoating, Paving, etc.) and 8 new geo-location pages targeting specific nearby cities and towns to execute a powerful regional ranking strategy.
  • Educational Content Hub: We researched, wrote, and published 10 educational blog posts addressing common customer questions. These articles attract users in the research phase, build topical authority, and internally link to our core commercial pages.

Pillar 3: Regional Authority & Trust Building (Months 1-6)

  • Guest Post Backlinks: We secured 15 high-quality guest post backlinks from authoritative home improvement and regional New York blogs, significantly boosting the website’s domain authority.
  • Citation Building & Management: We built and standardized 40 local citations across key directories to ensure NAP (Name, Address, Phone Number) consistency and reinforce local relevance.
  • Trust Signals: We prominently featured positive customer testimonials and embedded a Google Map with client reviews, leveraging social proof to increase conversion rates.

Quantifiable Performance Results (After 3 Months)

Our strategic, data-driven approach produced the following results within the first six months of the engagement:

  • Organic Traffic Growth: Monthly organic search users grew from 0 to over 600.
  • Keyword Rankings: The website now ranks in the top 100 for 90+ relevant keywords, up from zero.
  • 45 of these keywords are on the first page of Google, capturing high-value local traffic for commercial searches.
  • Lead Generation: The website is now a reliable lead source, generating an average of 25-30 qualified quote requests per month directly from organic search.
  • Technical Health: The website’s mobile PageSpeed Insights score has improved from a starting point of 42 to a consistent 91, ensuring an excellent user experience and strong ranking signal

Top Performing Keyword

This results demonstrate the effectiveness of our tailored approach in enhancing AMR Sealcoating’s online presence and connecting them with more clients seeking their expert services. We are proud of the progress achieved and are confident that continued collaboration will yield further success.
