In short
How did a service business grow organic clicks by 312%?
This SEO case study shows a service business growing organic clicks 312% over six months. Our team fixed technical issues, built intent led content around real customer searches and kept earning authority month after month, so clicks and impressions in Google Search Console compounded instead of stalling.
The challenge
Service business websites often have a handful of thin pages: one services page, a contact form and little else. Google has few reasons to show them for the many ways customers search.
Technical problems such as slow pages, missing titles or pages Google cannot crawl hold sites back even when the business is excellent.
The goal was to build search traffic that brings in enquiries without relying on paid ads, and to make that growth last.
