Digital marketing is massive.
As a general contractor and a small business, you need to generate leads.
But it might not be your specialty.
Peak One Builders specializes in custom home building and residential remodeling.
But with digital marketing, they needed well equipped experts to put their business on the frontline of the web.
By hiring our team, they were able to generate 31.5 leads per month and become a top brand in their niche of custom home building and remodeling.
Read on to see how we did it…
Challenge
Mike, owner of general contractor firm, Peak One Builders, met with our marketing experts, to see how his business could generate online profitable leads while sticking to a fairly strict budget.
Peak One Builders specializes in custom home building and luxury home remodeling, so these would be the areas of focus for all marketing and lead generation efforts.
Mike didn't know what to expect really, especially with SEO, as this was his first real experience with any online lead generation strategies.
None of it really made a lot of sense to him.
All he knew was that he wanted his company to become a prominent figure in the custom home building and luxury home remodeling niches in the Greater Phoenix Arizona metro area.
In the case study below, you will learn how Mike’s general contracting company literally went from ZERO leads per month to being able to achieve these results:
- 19.33 leads per month in the first year
- 31.5 leads per month in the second year
After speaking with Mike and his team, we were able to understand the vision Mike had for his company and how to best move forward.
Our online lead generation experts created a custom digital marketing blueprint that addressed all of Mike’s specific needs and desires.
Formulating the right plan and implementing these strategies would allow our team to produce the type of results Peak One Builders deserved in such a highly competitive market.
Overall, we needed to lay the groundwork for a strong digital footprint to catapult Peak One's website into becoming an Unstoppable Lead Generation Machine.
Its sole function would be to draw in high-quality and lucrative custom home building and high-end home remodeling leads from the Internet.

These actions laid the groundwork for Peak One Builders’ rapid growth in the span of only 2 years.

We helped Peak One Blinders to:
Save Time
Peak One Builders did not have to worry about hiring multiple people to fill in-house positions to achieve these results.
Sifting through qualified candidates and establishing the desirable benchmarks would have consumed a massive amount of time.
They knew hiring our team would produce results without infringing on their time.
Additionally, they would have comfort in knowing that we would keep them updated with completely transparent marketing reports, conference calls and meetings to answer all of their questions throughout the process.
Going with a professional online lead generation company that specializes in helping blue-collar service businesses attract more customers from the internet was the best decision for Peak One Builders, as they were able to focus on delivering top quality work on their custom home building and home remodeling projects instead of worrying about where to find leads.
Save Money
By partnering up with us, Peak One Builders achieved truly amazing results within the first two years.
The marketing plan that was deployed for the general contracting firm brought in a consistent flow of high-quality leads that turned into real, profitable custom home building and home remodeling projects all without having to rely on paid advertising strategies like Google Adwords or Facebook Ads. This is important because Peak One doesn't have to “buy” ad space on its target keywords since it already OWNS first-page placement organically.
Furthermore, Online Visibility Pros’ online marketing services cost a fraction of the price of hiring in-house staff to cover these responsibilities.
Multiple new employees with large salaries could easily bog down the future of a business.
But Peak One Builders made the intelligent move and hired a professional online lead generation company that specializes in implementing Internet marketing strategies for blue-collar service companies like custom home builders and home remodeling firms.
