Base Camp 🏕️
Starting Point for the Digital Climb
Our journey with this client, a painting contractor situated in the heart of the town, began with a clear view of the landscape. Despite their central location, they grappled with competition affecting their ranking on the 5×5 grid. Their visibility on the broader 7×7 grid also required enhancement. The client wasn’t faring poorly, but aspired to reach greater heights in visibility. We undertook the task to enrich their position, using the starting point on the tracking grids as a baseline before initiating our SEO campaigns.
The Climb Initiation 🧭 Charting the Course & Gearing Up
For this expedition, we began by scouting out the terrain the client’s competitors had conquered. This approach was critical given the intense competition around the client’s central locale. A thorough Google Maps audit was imminent. We assessed the required optimizations for the client and initiated local geographical relevancy campaigns. Our aim was to boost the 7×7 grid ranking and enhance visibility on the 5×5 grid. We trod carefully, building trust with Google before venturing into off-page techniques or advanced strategies. Despite a tight timeframe of 60 days and challenging competition, we remained confident in our approach to escalate their rankings post-audit.
Current Summit View 
Achieving Peak Visibility
Two months into the campaign, we saw a remarkable transformation. The 5×5 grid was predominantly in the second position, hinting at the potential of a climb to the top spot in the coming month. The 7×7 grid, which initially was mostly mid-ranking (92% orange), was now 80% green, with a lot of 3-pack rankings, and even some 2-pack rankings.
