Case Study: Remodeling Client – General Contractor Marketing Success
In this general contractor case study, Beyond Remodeling, a San Diego home renovation and hardscaping company, needed more than a pretty website — they needed a predictable flow of qualified jobs. After switching from vanity metrics to a performance-driven strategy focused on SEO, Google Ads, Meta Ads, and sales process optimization, they built a $150,000/month revenue engine.
🚩 The Challenge for Beyond Remodeling
- Previous marketing team focused on vanity metrics: clicks, impressions, and likes.
- No revenue accountability: reports showed activity but not booked jobs.
- Sales process gaps: no structured follow-up or receptionist training.
Result: A nice-looking site, but no consistent job pipeline.
🛠️ Our Approach to Remodeling Marketing
Marketing Engine (Lead Generation)
- Launched Google Ads campaigns around high-intent keywords (e.g., “hardscaping services,” “backyard contractors”).
- Expanded into Meta Ads for brand reach and Google Local Services Ads (GLSA) for cost-efficient local leads.
- Connected all channels into real-time dashboards with CallRail + Google Analytics 4 to track every call and form.
- Optimized Google Business Profile & SEO → secured #1 rankings for “backyard remodeling near me” and “bathroom remodel San Diego.”
Sales Consulting (Closing the Gap)
- Receptionist training: Scripts + 5x follow-up process.
- Pricing strategy: Lowered minimum job size ($10K → $5K) to capture more opportunities.
- Upsell framework: Turn smaller jobs into larger renovation projects.
- Accountability coaching: Call reviews, reminders, and sales coaching to boost close rates.
