For over a decade, we’ve helped Bob Webb maintain #1 rankings for the highly competitive term ‘Luxury Home Builder Columbus.’ Our comprehensive strategy extends beyond the city center, ensuring dominant visibility in key suburban markets like Powell, Lewis Center, and Dublin.

When Fuel Go partnered with us for PPC management, our initial audit revealed their budget was being spent on broad terms like ‘Emergency Fuel Delivery’ – searches that rarely converted to valuable customers. Through in-depth consultation with their team, we discovered their most profitable revenue streams came from specialized diesel delivery services.

Armed with this insight, we restructured their campaigns to focus on high-value keywords like ‘off road dyed diesel,’ ‘jobsite fuel delivery,’ and ‘red dyed diesel delivery.’ We strategically reallocated budget from generic terms to these refined searches, expanding the campaign across both Google and Bing platforms.

The results were significant: conversion rates doubled as we attracted more qualified leads actively seeking their specific services. This strategic refinement not only improved campaign efficiency but directly contributed to Fuel Go’s business growth by connecting them with their ideal industrial and commercial fuel customers.
