How We Got the Client

EverGreen Home Services found us through a local trade association event, where we had presented on how home service businesses often rely too heavily on paid ads and door hangers while leaving organic search almost completely untapped. Their owner mentioned that despite having a growing fleet and loyal customer base, new customer inquiries had plateaued.

We offered a free local visibility audit, showing exactly which nearby competitors were consistently appearing in the map pack and organic results for the services EverGreen offered. Seeing how much qualified demand was going to competitors instead is what led to the first strategy call.

What We Ensure in the Client Meeting

Before starting any project for a home services business, we run a structured onboarding meeting to align on goals and expectations. For EverGreen Home Services, this meeting covered:

• ✓ Mapping their exact service areas and highest-priority neighborhoods
• ✓ Full access review: Google Business Profile, website, and booking or call data
• ✓ Identifying their most profitable and most requested services
• ✓ Reviewing current reputation and existing customer reviews
• ✓ Setting realistic timelines for local ranking and booking growth
• ✓ Agreeing that success would be measured in booked jobs, not just rankings

For home services businesses in particular, this step matters because rankings mean nothing if they do not translate into booked appointments. Getting this alignment up front kept the entire strategy focused on lead quality, not on vanity metrics.

Project Overview

EverGreen Home Services is a home services company offering a range of services to homeowners across multiple neighborhoods in their metro area. The business had a strong reputation with existing customers and a well-branded fleet, but almost no visibility for new customers searching online for help.

The goal of the project was to improve visibility sitewide and across every local search touchpoint, not just their homepage, so EverGreen would consistently appear in local search results and the Google Business Profile map pack whenever someone in their service area needed a service they offered.

Before Performance: Where They Started

Here is a snapshot of EverGreen’s overall online presence in the month before we began working together, covering the entire website and Google Business Profile, not any single page or listing.

45 Monthly Service Bookings (Sitewide)

12 Local Keywords in Top 3

1X Qualified Lead Baseline (Index)

At this stage, EverGreen rarely appeared in the local map pack for its core services; several service areas had no dedicated page at all; and most bookings still came from repeat customers and word of mouth rather than new search traffic.

The Challenge

Before working together, EverGreen Home Services faced a common set of problems for growing home services businesses:

• ✓ Incomplete Google Business Profile, missing several service categories
• ✓ No dedicated pages for individual services or individual service areas
• ✓ Slow website performance hurting both rankings and mobile booking conversions
• ✓ Very few recent customer reviews, weakening trust signals for new customers
• ✓ No consistent process for tracking which channels actually drove bookings

Our Strategy

We built a full local SEO and content plan around EverGreen’s services and service areas, executed sitewide and across every local listing over several months.

• ✓ Local SEO & Google Business Profile Optimization
• ✓ Service Area & Location Page SEO
• ✓ Keyword Research & Content Strategy
• ✓ Technical SEO & Website Speed Improvements
• ✓ Review & Reputation Management
• ✓ Lead Tracking & Monthly Performance Reporting

1. Local SEO & Google Business Profile Optimization

We fully rebuilt EverGreen’s Google Business Profile, adding accurate service categories, service area settings, updated photos, and regular posts, so the profile matched exactly what customers search for.

2. Service Area & Location Page SEO

We built and optimized dedicated pages for each service EverGreen offers and each neighborhood they serve, so the site could rank for searches specific to each area instead of relying on one generic homepage.

3. Keyword Research & Content Strategy

We mapped out the exact terms local homeowners search for when they need help, from broad research queries to urgent, ready-to-book searches, and built a content plan around answering the questions that come up before someone books.

4. Technical SEO & Website Speed Improvements

We addressed sitewide speed issues, mobile usability problems, and crawl errors so the entire website could be indexed properly and load quickly for customers searching on their phones.

5. Review & Reputation Management

We set up a simple post-service review request system for the EverGreen team, along with a process for responding to every review, which steadily grew both the number and quality of customer reviews.

6. Lead Tracking & Monthly Performance Reporting

Every month, EverGreen received a clear report covering local rankings, map pack visibility, and booking volume sitewide, so we could double down on what was driving real, booked jobs.

The Results: Before vs After

Within the engagement period, EverGreen Home Services saw measurable growth across their entire online presence, not just isolated pages or listings. Here is the direct before and after comparison.

Metric (Sitewide)	Before	After	Change
Monthly Service Bookings	45	128+	185% increase
Local Keywords in Top 3	12	70+	58+ new keywords
Qualified Leads (Index)	1X	3.4X	3.4X increase

“We used to rely almost entirely on repeat customers and referrals. Now new customers find us directly on Google, and our booking calendar has never been fuller.” – EverGreen Home Services

Key Takeaway

EverGreen’s growth came from treating local SEO as a complete system: an accurate, fully optimized Google Business Profile, dedicated pages for every service and area, a technical foundation that actually supported rankings, and a steady stream of new reviews. For home services businesses, this is what turns local search into a reliable source of booked jobs instead of an afterthought.
