THE CHALLENGE
A Cincinnati fence installation and repair company needed to smooth out the seasonal spikes and dead zones that come with outdoor home improvement work, instead of scrambling for leads every spring.
Their traffic mixed homeowners ready to book an install with people searching DIY repair tips, material prices and one-off patch jobs — searches that rarely turn into a signed estimate. On top of that, big-box home stores and local competitors were bidding on the same core terms, making clicks expensive without sharper targeting.
