Marco Jensen has spent eight years building a reputation as one of the most reliable home renovation contractors in his area. His existing clients love his work. He’s thorough, communicative, and delivers exactly what he promises — every time.

But here’s the problem: none of that mattered online. Marco had no website. His Google My Business profile was incomplete and buried. He wasn’t listed on any local directories. In a world where homeowners search Google before they do anything else, Marco was invisible.

He was surviving entirely on word-of-mouth referrals, which were slowing down. He knew he needed help but didn’t know where to start. When he came to us, he said something that stuck: “I’ve tried a few things but nothing works. I don’t even know if I’m doing the right things.”

That’s exactly where we came in. Here’s what we found — and what we did about it.

Core Problems Identified

No website 0 Google reviews Invisible on Maps Under 3 leads/week No paid ads ever run Zero local listings
02 — The Challenges

Four problems silently
killing his business

01
🔍
Zero Online Presence

Marco didn’t exist online. No website, no GMB, no social presence. People searching “renovation services near me” simply could not find him — regardless of how outstanding his actual work was.

02
📉
Almost No New Leads

Fewer than 3 enquiries a week — all from personal referrals. There was no reliable, scalable channel to attract new customers, making monthly revenue completely unpredictable.

03
📍
Poor Google Visibility

Competitors with worse services appeared on Google Maps and in local packs. Marco’s GMB listing was incomplete, unverified, and had zero reviews — making Google ignore it entirely.

04
🗺️
No Digital Strategy

Marco had run one Facebook ad with no results. Without a proper foundation — the right targeting, a converting landing page, and tracking — every attempt at marketing was wasted money.

03 — The Strategy

What we built — and why it worked

We designed a four-pillar local marketing strategy. Each pillar was chosen to address a specific gap — and together, they created a compounding digital presence that keeps generating leads long after the campaign ends.

01
📍
GMB Optimization

Rebuilt Marco’s Google Business Profile from scratch. This was the fastest win — fixing the GMB profile alone started driving Map Pack appearances within weeks, capturing high-intent searches like “renovation near me”.

Key Actions
  • Corrected business category, attributes & service areas
  • Uploaded 30+ professional before/after project photos
  • Set up weekly posts, seasonal offers, and Q&A section
  • Launched a structured 5-star review generation campaign
02
💻
Website Design & Development

Designed and built a mobile-first website focused entirely on converting visitors into booked consultations. Every page was built with one goal: get the visitor to pick up the phone or fill the form.

Key Actions
  • Custom design with service pages & clear pricing structure
  • Before/after project gallery with real client work
  • Click-to-call and lead form on every page
  • On-page local SEO with location and service keywords
03
🎯
Paid Ads — Meta & Google

Layered targeted paid campaigns on top of the organic foundation to accelerate results. Meta ads for awareness and retargeting; Google Search ads for immediate high-intent traffic. Every euro tracked to a result.

Key Actions
  • Facebook & Instagram local awareness campaigns
  • Google Search ads targeting renovation keywords
  • Retargeting campaign for website visitors who didn’t enquire
  • Weekly A/B testing of creatives to reduce cost-per-lead
04
🗂️
Local SEO & Business Listings

Built a complete local digital footprint across every major directory. Consistent NAP data across 10+ platforms creates a web of trust signals that Google uses to verify and rank local businesses.

Key Actions
  • Listed on 10+ local directories with full profiles
  • Enforced perfect NAP consistency across all platforms
  • Built local citations and niche-specific backlinks
  • Added LocalBusiness schema markup to the website
04 — The Results

Numbers that tell the
whole story

After 90 days, Marco’s business looked completely different. He went from 3 enquiries a week to fielding calls every single day — and had to turn work away for the first time in his career.

⭐ Verified Client Review
★★★★★

“Honestly, I was sceptical. I’d been burned by promises before. But within the first month I started getting calls from people I had never met — people who found me on Google. By month three I had more work than I could handle. Firasat didn’t just build me a website. He built me a business that actually grows on its own.”
