Business Challenges

Our Client had minimal exposure in search engines for keywords relevant to their business including “shingle roofing contractor”, “residential siding contractor”, “Illinois roofers”, “Illinois roofing company” and more. Lack of page 1-2 organic search rankings of competitive phrases lead to minimal users/sessions to the website originating from organic search.

This is in contrast to their current state of being a top ranker in the Chicago area. Due to high demand and growth, the client has also opened locations in Michigan, Wisconsin, Missouri and Kansas. Plego is conducting regional based SEO based on their ever expanding locations.

Metrics and Results

We utilized our SEO software to monitor keyword rankings and Google Analytics to monitor organic (from search engines such as Google) traffic comparing full year data for 2018 vs 2017 including sessions and users visits. User visits increased 53% and sessions increased 52%.

Organic page views increased 35% and unique pageviews increased 51% while time on site from organic increased 21%. In aggregate for keywords monitored, keyword rankings increased over 5,200 spots in Google (keywords only counted once they moved into the top 100 spots). Highly competitive terms such as “commercial gutter repair”, “shingle roofing company”, and “Illinois roofers” are now in the top 10 spots within Google.
