Penguin Air, Plumbing & Electrical
Problem
A prominent Nexstar member servicing the Phoenix Valley, Penguin Air, Plumbing & Electrical first came to Blue Corona in 2019 in search of a new digital marketing partner. A once well-established brand in the Valley community, Penguin was quickly losing rankings, visibility, and customers to competitors that outranked and outperformed them on search engines. Historically, Penguin grew top-line revenue nearly 40% each year until 2019. Owners Wade and Will were ready to make the leap from the “biggest small guy” in the Valley to big-time players.
Solutions
A digital competitive analysis of Penguin’s online presence revealed multiple areas of opportunity across their website, organic search presence (SEO) and paid media (PPC, specifically).

What Is Local SEO?
Local SEO is an acronym for local search engine optimization. It’s the process of updating and optimizing your company’s website and off-site ranking factors to rank higher on search engines. Similar to traditional SEO for home service franchises, local SEO helps your franchise network:
- Increases its visibility in organic search results
- Outrank its local competitors and nationwide competitors (on a local scale)
- Generate more organic traffic to your corporate website and franchisee websites
- Increase leads and sales from within a specific service area
The best local SEO campaigns for home service franchise organizations increase your leads and sales from neighboring customers.
Think of local SEO like the modern phone book. While the calls you receive from the Yellow Pages are few and far between (if you get any at all), local SEO helps you generate more calls and online contact forms from the websites you manage.
