Client: A residential and commercial roofing contractor based in Toronto, ON
Goal: Increase visibility in local Google search results and drive more qualified phone
leads Tools Used: Google Business Profile, BrightLocal, Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, Local Falcon
The Challenge
The client relied heavily on word-of-mouth and referrals but lacked visibility in local search results—especially for high-intent queries like “roof repair Jacksonville” or “emergency roofer near me.” Despite having years of experience and positive reviews, they were outranked by newer competitors with better local SEO.
Our Approach
We executed a comprehensive Local SEO strategy focused on boosting Google Business Profile performance and local map pack rankings:
- Google Business Profile Optimization: Updated NAP info, added service areas, geo-tagged images, and regularly posted updates.
- Localized Landing Pages: Created unique, keyword-optimized city-specific pages for Jacksonville neighborhoods and surrounding service areas.
- Citation Building: Cleaned up and built consistent NAP citations on over 80 trusted local directories.
- Review Generation Strategy: Implemented automated email and SMS campaigns to encourage satisfied customers to leave Google reviews.
- On-Page SEO for Local Signals: Embedded maps, used structured data (LocalBusiness schema), and added local keywords to headers and metadata.
- Local Rank Tracking: Used Local Falcon and BrightLocal to monitor map pack rankings in specific zip codes.
