How We help

Estate planning law firm

+95%
increase in qualified consultation requests
Challenge

An estate planning law firm in Greenville was invisible in search results for key practice areas. Potential clients found competitor firms or generic legal directories instead.

Approach

We conducted keyword research focused on high-intent legal searches, rewrote their service pages with clear explanations of estate planning, wills, trusts and probate services, and built a content strategy around common client questions. We also optimized their Google Business Profile and implemented schema markup for legal services.

Outcome

The firm saw a 95 percent increase in qualified consultation requests within eight months. They now rank on page one for multiple practice-area searches and appear in AI-generated answers when users ask about estate planning options in Greenville.

Landscaping company

+110%
increase in qualified service inquiries
Challenge

A Greenville landscaping company was losing inquiries to national directories and competitors with stronger local pages. Their website ranked poorly for neighborhood-specific searches and didn’t appear in Google Maps for high-value service terms.

Approach

We rebuilt their service pages with location-specific content, optimized their Google Business Profile with accurate categories and service descriptions, and created neighborhood landing pages for Greenville, Simpsonville and Mauldin. We also improved site speed and mobile usability to reduce bounce rates.

Outcome

Within six months, the company saw a 110 percent increase in qualified service inquiries. They now rank in the top three Map results for multiple high-intent searches and appear consistently in AI-generated service recommendations.
