For decades, a respected civil contracting company based in Florida grew its reputation and clientele through word-of-mouth and traditional marketing methods. However, recognizing the rapidly evolving business landscape and the increasing importance of an online presence, they partnered with LinkNow to embrace digital transformation.
This case study highlights their successful journey, detailing the strategic approach, sustained results, and essential takeaways that underscore the value of digital marketing for all types of businesses.
Transitioning an Established Business to the Online Market
While many new businesses embrace digital marketing from day one, our client had thrived for decades solely through word-of-mouth and traditional marketing.
Making the leap to digital represented more than just creating a website; it meant adapting their well-established brand to an entirely new and unfamiliar medium without losing their local credibility and reputation.
Breaking Ground in a Competitive Industry
Civil contracting in Florida is a highly competitive industry, populated by businesses with longstanding online footprints. Without any previous digital presence, our client faced the daunting challenge of establishing their online identity while also quickly achieving visibility to remain competitive.
Our marketing team recognized that gaining rapid search engine traction was essential to secure a significant return on investment and maintain their market share.
Navigating Technical Hurdles With Confidence
Entering the digital landscape required our client to manage technological aspects they had never dealt with before, such as setting up professional business email accounts and maintaining digital security. They needed reliable, expert guidance and support to confidently manage these unfamiliar technical components and ensure their digital operations ran smoothly and securely.

Recognizing the client’s need for a robust and secure online presence, we recommended the Foundation 35 package, a comprehensive solution tailored to businesses stepping into the online world. This included:

The goal was to create a seamless online transition that preserved and enhanced the client’s established brand credibility.

Immediate Keyword Ranking Success
Within just a few months, our client rapidly ascended Google’s search rankings, achieving visibility for over 100 keywords in the top 50 positions. This swift improvement drastically enhanced their online visibility and increased the flow of organic traffic to their website.
Continuous Long-Term Growth
Over the subsequent two years, our client’s digital presence continued to flourish. Their keyword rankings expanded to include more than 300 keywords consistently appearing in the top 50 search results. This steady progression significantly strengthened their market position and ongoing competitive advantage.
