Home Renovation Contractor - GTA Local SEO Success
Client: Full-service home renovation contractor
Service Area: Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, and surrounding areas
The story
When we started working with this home renovation client in Greater Toronto Area, the situation was typical of what we see across Toronto — a real business with real customers, but an online presence that wasn't producing inbound calls. The full home renovation playbook we use across the GTA is documented on the home renovation local SEO page.
The work combined a properly configured Google Business Profile, a fast site with on-page local SEO, and call tracking on every inbound lead via our analytics setup. Same approach we run for clients in Toronto regardless of industry.
We wrote up the broader pattern in 5 things Toronto businesses get wrong about local SEO if you want the longer-form breakdown of how this category typically performs.
