Renovation Marketing Results
What measurable growth looks like for a renovation company, how we produce it, and exactly what we report on. No invented case studies, no borrowed screenshots.
The Numbers That Actually Matter to a Contractor
Impressions and traffic do not pay for materials or crew. These are the metrics we build toward and report on every month.
Qualified Quote Requests
Homeowners in your service area, with realistic budgets, asking for the project types you actually want. The core metric everything else supports.
Tracked Phone Calls
Calls from search attributed to the campaign and keyword that produced them, with short misdials filtered out so the number reflects real inquiries.
Cost Per Lead
What each inquiry costs on paid channels, broken out by project type so you can see where budget produces the best return.
Average Project Value
Whether marketing is bringing you the tier of work you want. Rising lead volume with falling project value is not progress.
Rankings by Project and Area
Where you sit for the searches that matter: project type plus location, across every market you serve. Not vanity keywords nobody types.
Map Pack Visibility
Whether you appear in the local three-pack for your core services. For contractors this often produces leads before organic rankings do.
Organic Traffic Growth
Meaningful only when tied to the right keywords. We report traffic alongside what it converted into, never on its own.
Lead-to-Estimate Rate
How many inquiries were worth a site visit. This is the clearest signal of whether targeting is working or just generating noise.
Verified Renovation Case Study
We do not publish results we cannot back up. Here is documented work from a real renovation engagement.
SEO for Renovation Companies
A detailed breakdown of an SEO engagement with a renovation company: the starting position, the structural problems we found, the strategy we built around their project types and service areas, and the outcomes that followed.
The case study covers the work itself rather than a headline percentage with no context. You can see what was actually done, in what order, and what it produced.

What we will and will not put on this page
A lot of agency results pages are built on numbers nobody can check: a screenshot with the client name blurred out, a percentage with no baseline, or a testimonial that may or may not have come from the trade being advertised.
Anything published here is real, checkable, and shared with client permission. We will not borrow a case study from another sector and imply it applies to renovation work, and we will not attribute a testimonial to a contractor unless a contractor actually gave it.
As more renovation engagements complete and clients approve publication, additional case studies will be added here. On a strategy call we can also walk you through relevant work in more detail than a public page allows.
How We Produce Results: Our Methodology
Consistent process is what produces consistent outcomes. Here is exactly how every renovation engagement runs.
We Start With Your Numbers, Not a Template
Average project value by type, crew capacity, profitable service radius, seasonal demand curve, and which work you want more of versus less of. Strategy is built from that, which is why two contractors in the same city get different plans.
Audit Before Recommendations
Full technical and content audit, competitor analysis across each market, ad account review, and Google Business Profile assessment. We do not propose a scope until we have seen what is actually broken.
Sequenced by Impact
Fastest-moving fixes go first: profile optimization, wasted ad spend, technical blockers. Slower compounding work like content and authority runs underneath. You see movement early while the long game builds.
Built Around Your Season
Content targeting spring exterior work publishes in winter so it ranks in time. Ad budgets shift ahead of demand. If your crews are booked, we scale back rather than generating leads you have to turn away.
Lead Quality Over Raw Volume
We optimize for inquiries worth a site visit. That means tighter targeting, ad copy that sets expectations, and content that pre-qualifies. A lower lead count with a higher close rate is a better outcome and we report it that way.
Honest Monthly Reporting
Clear numbers, including the ones that did not move. If something is underperforming we say so, explain why, and tell you what we are changing. No dashboards designed to look impressive while avoiding the point.
How Each Service Contributes to Growth
Each channel does a different job. Understanding which one solves which problem is how budget gets allocated sensibly.
SEO
The compounding asset. Rankings for project type plus location searches produce quote requests month after month with no per-click cost. Slow to build, but a page ranking for "kitchen renovation [city]" can generate work for years off a one-time investment. This is how contractors reduce dependence on paid lead sources.
Measured by: rankings, organic quote requests, map pack positionGoogle Ads
The immediate lever. When a project falls through, a crew finishes early, or a season starts slow, paid search produces quote requests within days. Also the fastest way to test whether demand exists for a new service or a new market before committing to SEO there.
Measured by: cost per lead, lead quality, cost per acquired projectWeb Design
The conversion multiplier. Every visitor from search and ads lands here. A faster site with a real portfolio, visible credentials, and a short quote form raises conversion across every channel at once, which lowers your effective cost per lead everywhere.
Measured by: conversion rate, form completions, mobile performanceContent Marketing
The ranking fuel and the qualifier. Cost guides and permit explainers capture homeowners months before they hire, and pre-qualify them on budget expectations before they call. More pages means more ranking opportunities, which is why SEO plateaus without content behind it.
Measured by: pages ranking, research-stage traffic, page-level conversionsGenerative Engine Optimization
The emerging surface. As homeowners increasingly ask AI tools about renovation costs and how to choose a contractor, GEO works to get your company named in those answers. Built on the same content foundation as SEO, so it extends existing investment rather than duplicating it.
Measured by: citation appearances across AI platformsAll Together
Run as one strategy rather than five vendors, each channel reinforces the others. Content feeds SEO and supplies ad landing pages. Web design lifts conversion on all traffic. GEO extends content already produced. The whole moves faster than the sum of separately managed parts.
Measured by: total qualified leads, blended cost per projectWant to Know What Is Realistic for Your Company?

Why Contractors Get Better Results From an Integrated Approach
Most renovation companies buy marketing one piece at a time. A website from a designer three years ago. Google Ads from a freelancer. Maybe an SEO retainer that never quite delivered. Each piece was bought in isolation and none of them were built to work with the others.
That is usually why the SEO retainer disappointed. The site was structurally incapable of ranking, with one thin services page and no service area coverage, so no amount of optimization was going to move it. And the ads underperformed because they pointed at a homepage instead of a page matching what the homeowner searched.
These channels are dependent on each other in specific ways. SEO needs content to have anything to rank. Content needs a site that converts the traffic it earns. Google Ads costs depend on landing page quality, which is a design and content problem. GEO only works on a foundation the other channels built.
When one team runs all of it under one strategy, every decision accounts for the rest. That is not a sales line, it is the practical reason fragmented marketing underperforms for contractors so consistently.
How We Work With Renovation Companies
Contractor Economics
We understand service radius profitability, seasonal demand, project value tiers, and why a wasted site visit costs more than a wasted click.

Based in Montreal, fully bilingual. Campaigns, content, and reporting in English and French for contractors in bilingual markets.
One Team, One Strategy
SEO, ads, design, content, and GEO handled together rather than split across vendors who never speak to each other.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a case study for renovation companies specifically?
Yes. Our SEO case study for renovation companies documents a real engagement: the starting position, the structural problems we found, the strategy built around their project types and service areas, and what it produced.
We only publish work we can back up. We will not borrow a case study from another sector and imply it applies to renovation work, and additional renovation case studies get added here as engagements complete and clients approve publication.
Do you guarantee specific results?
No. Anyone guaranteeing a ranking position or a lead count is making a promise they have no ability to keep, since neither Google nor your competitors are under their control. What we commit to is a defined process, transparent reporting, and honest assessment when something is not working.
How soon should we expect to see something?
Google Ads typically produces quote requests within the first two weeks. Google Business Profile and technical fixes often move within four to six weeks. SEO and content generally show meaningful movement at three to six months and keep compounding from there.
What exactly is in the monthly report?
Rankings for your target project types and service areas, organic traffic, quote request submissions, tracked calls, cost per lead by campaign, and notes on lead quality. Plus what we changed that month, what it produced, and what we are prioritizing next. We walk you through it on a call rather than emailing a PDF and disappearing.
What if the results are not there?
We say so and explain why. Sometimes the diagnosis is that the market is more competitive than expected, sometimes the site needs work we flagged and did not get approval for, sometimes we got the strategy wrong. In every case you hear it from us before you have to ask.
Can you tell us how many leads we will get for a given budget?
For paid search we can give a reasonable estimate based on actual keyword costs in your market and typical conversion rates, and we will show the assumptions behind it. For SEO, projecting lead counts before seeing how the site responds would be a guess dressed up as a forecast, so we do not do it.
Do we have to buy every service?
No. Many contractors start with one channel and expand as results build. We will tell you what we think will work best and why, but we do not bundle services you do not need. If ads alone are the right starting point for your situation, that is what we will recommend.
How do we get started?
Book a strategy call. We review your current position, discuss your project goals and capacity, and give you an honest read on whether we are a good fit. If we are not, we will say so.
