WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION · BOISE, ID

From invisible to a 7-figure run rate in 18 months

A regional restoration company that lived on referrals and one ZIP code of map coverage. We built the visibility engine that now drives the emergency calls. Eighteen months later the phone is the bottleneck, not the pipeline.

The situation

Where they were when they hired us.

  • Map coverage stopped one ZIP outside the shop, so most of the service area never saw them
  • Google Business Profile was thin, miscategorized, and posting nothing
  • Citations were inconsistent on name, address, and phone across 40-plus directories
  • No service or city landing pages for the emergency terms that actually convert
  • Zero presence in AI answers when someone asked for restoration near them

What we built

The specific playbook we ran.

Each piece maps to a part of the local SEO system. Follow a link to see how it works.

  • Google Business Profile rebuild plus weekly location-targeted posts
  • City and service landing pages for the emergency terms that ring the phone
  • Review request and 24-hour response engine
  • Citation cleanup to identical NAP across every directory
  • Entity schema so AI engines can cite the business
  • Monthly geo grid expansion, one zone outward at a time

The geo grid

Red to green, zone by zone.

Two Local Search Grids for the same business: where the map sat at the start, and where it landed after 18 months. Illustrative data, not a specific client export.
