Growth You Can Count On (And Fence In)
First Fence of Georgia had tried working with SEO agencies in the past but never saw much success from their investment. They could see their competitors showing up in their local area far more than they were and were frustrated at the lack of leads coming throug hthe website organically. With a large paid media spend depleting their budget, they wanted to give SEO one last shot to reduce their ongoing ad spend. After completely restructuring the site's content, improving the site's overall architecture and developing a targeted link acquisition campaign, First Fence saw the growth in visibility, traffic and qualified leads that led them to understand that SEO was the right channel for them.
First Fence of Georgia had strong offline authority — with over 30,000 completed jobs — but their digital presence did not reflect their market leadership.
Core Needs Identified:
- Previous SEO efforts had failed to generate meaningful visibility or revenue growth
- Limited rankings for:
- Core fence types (steel, aluminum, wood, PVC, composite, chain link)
- High-intent “fence contractor” terms
- Minimal authority positioning within the Georgia fencing market
- Weak local SEO presence across key Georgia cities
- Lack of structured content separating residential and commercial services
- Tracking and technical gaps limiting performance visibility
Primary Goal:
Position First Fence as the digital authority in Georgia fencing - both residential and commercial - matching their offline dominance.
Following an initial SEO audit, we identified several areas of improvement:
- Content creation and optimization across core service areas and locations
- Build out content guides / hubs for their main service offering to showcase expertise and experience
- Drive authority to the site to supplement the ongoing site growth
To address these challenges, we implemented a phased strategy focused on structure, content depth, and authority building
Service Page Expansion & Optimization
We restructured and expanded their service architecture to better reflect search intent and buyer behavior.
- Built out segmented residential and commercial service hubs
- Developed niche vertical pages targeting individual fence types and materials
- Expanded into high-intent contractor, supply, repair, and automation-related terms
- Optimized on-page structure (headers, internal linking, meta data)
- Improved navigation to support clearer service pathways and lead attribution
This ensured both homeowners and commercial buyers could clearly find and convert on relevant services.
Local SEO Expansion
We significantly expanded their local footprint by:
- Building and optimizing a wide network of Georgia location pages
- Localizing content to align with city-level search behavior
- Cleaning up duplicate headers and indexation issues
- Strengthening internal linking between service and location pages
This allowed First Fence to compete in multiple Georgia markets simultaneously rather than relying on a single metro area.
Authority & Thought Leadership Development
We repositioned the brand from a contractor to an industry authority by:
- Creating structured content pillars for residential investment, contractor vetting, commercial risk, compliance, and access control
- Developing educational blog content targeting zoning laws, insurance implications, installation standards, and ROI
- Beginning the build-out of indexed case studies from their 30,000+ completed jobs
- Supporting authority growth with ongoing backlink acquisition
This elevated their expertise beyond transactional service pages and positioned them as a trusted decision-making resource.
Technical & Performance Enhancements
- Resolved crawl errors and duplicate header issues
- Cleaned up over-extended meta titles and descriptions
- Addressed NoIndex pages limiting rankings
- Improved internal linking architecture
- Implemented custom GTM event tracking for lead visibility
- Conducted ongoing technical audits to maintain site health
The primary challenge was balancing two distinct audiences:
- Residential homeowners focused on aesthetics, investment value, and safety
- Commercial buyers focused on liability, compliance, security, and automation
Each segment searches differently and evaluates value differently.
We had to:
- Separate site architecture accordingly
- Develop distinct content journeys
- Maintain brand cohesion across both verticals
- Build authority in compliance-heavy commercial search terms while still ranking for high-volume residential queries
All while rebuilding technical infrastructure and expanding into new Georgia markets.
- 172% increase in top 3 positions
- 50% increase in organic traffic
- 63% increase in leads
