Book Your Discovery CallThe Challenge
A Great Company Nobody Could Find
Desert State Roofing has served the Phoenix Valley since 2016 with a simple promise: do what you say you're going to do. With 30 years of combined team experience, a 52% close rate, and roughly 36 referrals a month, the team had the skills. What they didn't have was an online presence.
Before this engagement, the business was almost invisible in search. The few people who found them online rarely matched their target customer, 45+ homeowners with $500K+ homes in Cave Creek, Scottsdale and Paradise Valley.
Only 10–12 Calls Per Month
Inbound phone calls per month from all digital channels combined.
Pages Not Being Indexed
Key service pages existed on the site but were not being indexed by Google.
100% Referral Dependent
Nearly all revenue came from referrals, no scalable digital lead channel existed.
Established Competition
Competing against established local roofers with years of SEO authority.
