Client:Custom Home Builder

More than triple the qualified consultation requests

For this custom home builder, an enquiry needed to come from someone planning the right kind of project. We connected local SEO and Google Ads with service content that helped homeowners assess the firm. The work covered construction and renovation searches, the builder’s service area, and the pages prospective clients used before requesting a consultation.

The Challenge

Where the work began

Competitors were reaching homeowners before they had a chance to consider the builder. Visibility was limited for important local searches, and key pages lacked the planning information that helped people compare contractors. The company needed stronger demand capture and a clearer explanation of the projects and clients it was suited to serve.

The Work

Reaching the right prospective homeowners

01

Local search around projects and locations

We organized service and location pages around the construction and renovation work the builder wanted to attract. Google Business Profile management and consistent local listings supported that structure. Together, these improvements made the company easier to discover for homeowners searching by project type and area, beyond searches for its name.

02

Google Ads matched to project demand

Paid search campaigns focused on construction searches relevant to the builder’s services, with landing pages matched to the project being considered. Aligning the search, advertisement and page gave prospective clients a direct route to the information they needed and helped the builder use its budget more effectively across relevant enquiries.

03

Content that helps homeowners choose

The website needed to explain more than the services available. We developed content around the planning questions and commitments involved in choosing a contractor, giving homeowners a clearer understanding of the builder’s approach. That information helped visitors assess whether the firm suited their project before they requested a consultation.
