The Challenge

The client was frustrated with drops in rankings, traffic, and booking requests. After a brief audit of the site, I discovered a critical issue:

⚠️ Migration Disaster

During a site migration, their web dev company had removed all of their local pages, which ranked for critical keywords like "junk removal in [area]." All Google had to rank them in more than 100 locations was the home page.

The Strategy

The strategy seemed simple—restore the pages that were removed. But I took this further:

1

Improved Template

I examined the localized pages that had been removed and created an improved template. This would be a new and improved return to Google search.

2

Expanded Coverage

I worked with the client on creating localized pages they didn't have before. Previously, they had under 10 location pages—with the new strategy, we would cover 109 locations.

The Results

As you can see from the data, things were flat for quite some time until we began working together on improving the site and coming back strong.
