Penguin Air, Plumbing & Electrical

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).

Problem

What Is Local SEO?

Local SEO stands for local search engine optimization. To put it simply, local SEO helps your business get found on search engine result pages for geographically related searches.

More specifically, local SEO for home builders ensures your company is visible on:

  • Google’s local pack (maps listings)
  • Bing Places
  • Navigational apps, like Google Maps and Apple Maps

How Local SEO Services Grow Your Business

So, how exactly does local SEO grow your home building business?

  • It increases online visibility for local consumers – 97% of people go online to find local services, and 95% of them won’t go past the first page of the search results. Local search engine optimization for home builders works to increase your page rankings, therefore increasing your online visibility.
  • It increases web traffic, leads, and sales from local visitors – If you’re a local company, getting web visits and leads from users in a different city, state, or country won’t do anything to build your business. With localized SEO, you increase traffic from consumers in your specific service areas, which means you’ll get a higher visit-to-sale rate from your builder website.
  • It provides more targeted geographic campaigns – Modern consumers expect hyper-personalized online experiences. With localized SEO, you can target campaigns to extremely small, localized groups of people.
  • It makes you stand out from your competitors – Fewer than 50% of businesses currently use local SEO services as part of their marketing strategy. What that means for you is a big opportunity to get ahead and stand out in directories, maps, local searches, and social media.
