Case Study Details
Rank Local Engine worked with a local service company in Des Moines, Iowa that struggled to appear in Google search results. Despite having a well-designed website, the business was receiving very little organic traffic and very few inquiries from potential customers.
Our goal was to improve their local search visibility, optimize their website for high-intent keywords, and help the company generate more qualified leads through organic search. By implementing a strategic SEO campaign, we focused on improving the website structure, optimizing content, and strengthening local search signals.
Within several months, the business experienced significant improvements in Google rankings, website traffic, and customer inquiries.
Strategy Consulting
We began the project by analyzing the company’s current online presence, local competition, and search behavior of potential customers. Our team identified important opportunities to improve keyword targeting and strengthen local search visibility.
Based on this analysis, we developed a customized SEO strategy focused on ranking for high-intent keywords such as service-based searches and location-specific queries. The strategy also included improvements to website structure, content development, and local business listings.

SEO Audit & Analysis
A complete SEO audit revealed several technical and on-page issues that were preventing the website from ranking effectively. Our team fixed technical errors, improved page speed, optimized metadata, and created location-based service pages.
We also optimized the client’s Google Business Profile, built consistent local citations, and developed high-quality content designed to answer customer questions. These improvements helped search engines better understand the business and increased its visibility in both organic results and local map listings.

Several important service keywords ranked on the first page of Google
Monthly customer inquiries increased by over 120%
The business began appearing consistently in local map results
The project demonstrated how a well-planned SEO strategy can help local businesses grow their online presence and generate consistent leads.
