    Louisville, KY · 9-month engagement

    Professional Services Firm

    A multi-location practice losing share to national directories in branded and intent-rich local search. We rebuilt the technical foundation, mapped a topical authority program, and shipped location pages engineered for the local pack.

    The starting point.

    Stagnant organic traffic, weak local pack visibility, and a content library that ranked nowhere — despite a healthy paid budget masking the gap.

    What we did.

    1. 01

      Technical foundation: Core Web Vitals, indexability cleanup, structured data, and a sitemap that mirrors a clean information architecture.

    2. 02

      Topical authority program: a 9-pillar content cluster mapped to high-intent service queries, each supported by 4+ supporting articles.

    3. 03

      Internal linking + conversion design: hub-to-detail flow that consolidates equity on money pages, with on-page CTAs measured in GA4.

    What happened.

    • Organic sessions roughly tripled within 9 months, with first-page rankings for the firm's full service set in its primary market.
    • Form-fill volume from organic surpassed paid search inside two quarters — at zero incremental media cost.
