Page-One Ranked Keywords

The website was designed in 2011 and was not updated periodically resulting in a sorely outdated and poor-performing website that did not reflect a high-quality professional and modern business.

Additionally, it did not provide the information users needed to learn more about the company to decide to set up a repair appointment.

The website did not have dedicated pages to support the different categories of repairs they specialize in and the types of cars they work on, resulting in very diminished marketing value, consequently impacting revenues driven by the website negatively.

This lack of content and the poor performance of the outdated website contributed to an overall very low SEO value for Brian. So to drive online traffic Brian was depending on paid advertising with Yelp to acquire new business.

Sitespring & Brian Partner for Data-Driven Results

Brian recognized the need to:

  • Build a brand new modern conversion-optimized website.
  • Create services pages to support sales of different repairs.
  • Provide useful information on car care to position themselves as experts.
  • Implement an SEO strategy for the website that would get them above the competitors
  • Optimize and manage their Google My Business to rank in the three pack on page one.

Brian Bruce came to Sitespring because he knew that we help businesses exactly like his develop custom PHP websites built on a WordPress CMS for easy administration that is intelligently branded and provides marketing messaging that drives leads.

He knew we could integrate a custom-designed website optimized for marketing value with an effective organic search campaign to bring users actively searching for all types of car repairs in Sarasota into his website.

Brian choose us because he knew our mission is to provide the highest level of customer care, service and support for businesses while standing on a  foundation of integrity, excellence and teamwork.

He choose Sitespring to handle the complex work of digital marketing, and website development so he could stay focused on running his business.

What an incredible group of people!
Not only is Sitespring professional in their approach, they are honest hard working people! I am not the easiest to work with on this type of project, and they made it a pleasure. With vast amounts of time involved to get to a final product, they worked seamlessly with us to get it done! And the final product is exceptional! I would highly recommend Sitespring to any business that wants their online presence dramatically improved quickly and efficiently.
