SEO Case Study: How We Helped a Fence Company Rank #1 and Book Out 60 Days in Advance

Client: Patriot Fence & Deck
Location: Suburban Ohio Market
Plan: Standard SEO + Content ($997/mo)
Timeframe: 6 Months
Goal: Rank in top 3 for "fence installation [city]" and generate consistent inbound calls


The Problem

When Patriot Fence came to us, they were:

  • Nowhere to be found on Google

  • Losing jobs to cheaper contractors showing up in maps

  • Relying on word-of-mouth and HomeAdvisor

  • Spending money on ads, but with no long-term traffic growth

They had a good team and solid reviews — but zero local SEO strategy.


What We Did

Month 1–2: Foundation

  • Claimed and optimized their Google Business Profile

  • Cleaned up old citations and submitted to 50+ local directories

  • Fixed website technical SEO (broken links, slow speed, missing meta)

  • Installed call tracking and lead attribution system

Month 3–4: Content + Local Targeting

  • Wrote and published 8 SEO blog posts:

    • “Wood vs Vinyl Fencing in [City]”

    • “Top 5 Reasons Homeowners Replace Their Fence”

  • Built 3 geo landing pages (e.g., “Fence Installation in [Suburb]”)

  • Started backlink outreach (local chambers, blogs, associations)

Month 5–6: Rankings + Conversion

  • Re-optimized top pages using keyword data

  • Embedded Google reviews and photos into key pages

  • Continued publishing 4 articles/month

  • Built 12 new backlinks (average DR 35)


The Results

Client Quote

Key Takeaway

SEO works — when it’s focused on the jobs that matter.
For fence contractors, that means ranking locally, showcasing real work, and building trust with Google and homeowners.
