Results & case studies

Marketing that pays for itself. Here is the receipt.

Thirteen documented campaigns, four video testimonials, and the revenue behind them. Several of the businesses we work with add $30,000 or more a month in new revenue. Two of them had a year where our work added over a million dollars.

Featured: dental practices

One dentist hired us. Then he started referring his colleagues.

We have now run campaigns for a chain of dental practices that mostly found us through each other. The pattern is the same every time: a practice was paying a big agency for unfocused work, we replaced it with a tight local campaign, and the phones changed.

Several of our clients, dentists among them, generate $30,000 or more a month in new revenue. Two had years where the additional revenue passed $1,000,000. The best single month we have documented came in between $120,000 and $160,000.

Read why a dentist left the big agencies

“His biggest gripe was that the companies before us were just too big to focus on a practice his size. From there, he referred several other dental practices to us.”

Why a dentist left the big agencies, then sent us his colleagues

Six months in: a focused campaign replaced two agencies that were too big to care about a practice his size. He has since referred several other practices.

No case studies in that category yet.

Where the numbers come from: ranking and traffic figures are taken from Google Search Console and Google Analytics screenshots inside each write-up. Revenue figures are as reported to us by the client or their marketing partner. One campaign is under NDA, so its write-up shares only what we are permitted to. Some case studies were written in 2020; where results held after the campaign ended, we say so.

What these have in common

Different industries. Same three moves.

01

Pick keywords that pay

Not the biggest ones. The ones a customer types right before they call. For a dentist that is a procedure plus a suburb. For a contractor it is the one keyword the whole business runs on.

02

Build pages that deserve to rank

A fast site, a page for every service and area, and off-site work that is safe by Google’s own rules. The New Delhi and Bitcoin results came from doing this well, not from tricks.

03

Track it to the dollar

Call tracking, form tracking, and plain-English reporting. Every number on this page exists because it was measured. Yours will be too.
