The story

Where they started, and what we built

The challenge

  • Big-budget competitors dominated paid search, pushing organic content further down the page.
  • Faster-moving, tech-savvy rivals kept outmaneuvering them online.
  • Performance was consistently behind industry benchmarks, with real risk of losing relevance in an online-first market.

The approach

  • Built a custom SEO strategy aimed at growing share of voice, not just rankings.
  • Published two articles a week for a full year, organized around pillar content and keyword clusters.
  • Aligned content with state expansion plans and targeted both local and national search.
  • Optimized for AI Overviews and AI search bot engagement alongside traditional SEO.
