Designing a UX Driven & Google Search Optimized Website
When creating a new website for SLC, we equally considered making it true to their brand and optimizing it for lead generation. The website copy increases discoverability with SEO keywords while still speaking to their unique value proposition. We took every opportunity to establish brand trust with renovation galleries, reviews, employee videos, helpful blogs, and more. At the top and bottom of every single page, users are prompted to contact SLC, encouraging high-quality leads.
Establishing Trust & Awareness Through Content Marketing

To begin a brand relationship between SLC and prospects, we created monthly content that provides value to the target audience while encouraging website visits, phone calls, and form fills. Our content calendar included blog posts that improved SEO, engaging video content for social media, and a strategy to bring the brand to Pinterest.
Generating High-Quality Leads Across Platforms
Our paid advertising strategy improved both the quantity and quality of SLC’s leads. The newly optimized website helped us lower the cost per click of our Google search ads. To bring the brand to more people, we began running social media, display, and YouTube ads.
The Results of Strategic Digital Marketing for SLC
Our campaigns helped SLC earn at least $2 million in revenue and $600,000 in profit. We accomplished a return on investment of $532,000, or over 10 times SLC’s marketing spend.
