BEST IS THE STANDARD.
How We Grew 500% in One Month With a New Website and SEO
At Southern Touch Painting, we believe the standard should always be high. We focus on clean lines, quality work, and clear communication. But a few months ago, we realized something important. Great painting does not matter if people cannot find you.
The Problem
Before working with Custer Marketing, we had:
-
A brand new website
-
Little to no search visibility
-
Low online awareness
-
No clear system for getting steady estimate requests
Most of our work came from referrals. While referrals are great, they are not predictable. We wanted steady growth, not random spikes. We needed help with our website and SEO.
Why We Chose Custer Marketing
We wanted a company that understood small service businesses. Custer Marketing did not overcomplicate things. They focused on:
-
Building a professional website
-
Making our services clear
-
Structuring the site to rank in search results
-
Creating a long term Search Engine Optimization plan
They explained everything in simple terms and set clear expectations.
What Custer Marketing Did for Us
Custer Marketing handled:
-
Website design and layout
-
Clear service pages for residential and commercial painting
-
Keyword targeting for high intent painting searches
-
Technical improvements behind the scenes
-
Ongoing quarterly SEO work
They built our site to look professional and to be easy for customers to use. Most importantly, they built it to be found.
The Results
In the first month after launch:
-
Website sessions increased by over 500 percent
-
We reached Top 3 positions in Google search results for key services
-
Estimate requests increased
Instead of waiting for referrals, people began finding us through search.
What We Learned
SEO is not just about ranking. It is about being visible when someone needs your service. When homeowners search for:
-
House painters
You either show up or you do not. Custer Marketing made sure we show up.
Our Experience Working With Custer Marketing
They were:
-
Very communicative
-
Collaborative
-
Open to feedback
-
Clear about next steps
They listened to what we needed and delivered it. We did not feel like just another client. We felt like a partner.
