How We Helped This Moving Company Reach 7 Figures

Reaching 7 figures is a huge milestone and accomplishment for businesses, large or small. It shows you’re doing something right and providing value to your customers. After all, they’re at the center of every business. That’s why Risely loves working with local business owners who have a direct impact on their surrounding communities to help them grow their presence and build their reputation.

And because moving has a major impact and can be stressful for families, we want to make sure that local communities are able to quickly and easily find the best, friendliest, and most efficient moving companies in their neighborhoods online.

That’s why we didn’t hesitate when Moving Proz, after being less than one year old, came to us for help with driving new online leads in the Kansas City metro area.

After working together to determine their core values and goals, our marketing experts at Risely created a strategy to enhance their search engine optimization (SEO), expand their content, and update their website — resulting in a 7 figure revenue gain.

Search engine optimization

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of optimizing your website to increase organic traffic from the search engine back to your site. It involves making strategic changes to your content, photos, links, etc. so that search engines like Google, increase your rankings and display your site towards the top of the page of a Google search.

Because people turn to Google when researching moving companies in their area, if your website isn’t displaying in the top few results of a Google search, you are losing potential customers.

When it came to helping Moving Proz display in their local search results, we focused on improving the keywords used on their website. Keywords are important because they are the terms individuals use to search on Google. For Moving Proz, we researched the top keywords for the moving industry and made sure to create new, keyword-rich content specific to their growth markets in Kansas City, Overland Park, and Lawrence.

By optimizing their website for SEO rankings, we were able to more than double their organic visibility in the last 6 months!

Expanding content

When it comes to your website, first impressions matter. That’s why it’s important to have a site that is full of helpful information and content related to your users. Nothing makes a user click off of your site faster than not having enough relevant information they need to determine if you are the right choice for them.

One area we focused on was their local website and landing pages. Moving Proz started in Overland Park and quickly started serving Lawrence – a college town where the University of Kansas is located. To stand out in these areas and rank higher in Google, we created landing pages on their website specific to each city. These pages make it easy for a user to see if Moving Proz covers where they live and what services they offer.

After getting them to rank # 1 for those cities, we worked to create pages for the smaller suburbs they serve, as well. Another area of content we focused on was their blog. If you are a moving company and you want users to stay on your site by offering helpful information, a blog is key to doing just that.

Blogging is, and will remain, an essential part of your strategy to reach your audience. According to HubSpot you have a 434% higher chance of being ranked highly on search engines if you feature a blog as part of your website. It’s the human angle of your business and where you explore your audience’s issues and concerns.

Because of this, we focused on creating keyword-rich blog posts that used high-quality photos to share the top moving tips and tricks, as well as industry news to make moving easier and less stressful – the ultimate goal of a moving company for its customers.

The little updates

Last but not least, and certainly just as important as the other strategies, we worked to improve their website with the little updates that matter the most. These are things like:

• Company contact information
• Services offered
• Reviews
• And more!

Having this detailed information is crucial. It pulls all of the other areas of your website together and allows search engines to find you and rank you higher in the search results. It also creates a level of trust with your users and makes it easy for them to figure out if you are the right company to hire.

The results

So how did we do? Moving Proz set out with a goal to expand their business and grow their online leads. After 5+ years of working with us, Moving Proz has not turned to any other medium to drive new leads except for our Local SEO services.

In the last 2 years, we were able to more than double the amount of SEO traffic to their site.

The amount of SEO traffic to their website more than doubled from October 2022 to September 2024.

Additionally, in the last 6 months, we’ve been able to boost the number of keywords ranking in the top 20 positions for Best Fit Movers – gaining them more visibility and further establishing their presence as one of the leaders in this competitive market.

Total number of keywords ranking in the top 20 positions has increased from May to September 2024.

Because of this, they have exceeded their sales revenue goal by 35% thanks to the 95% increase in leads we achieved.

 

But the best is not over. As the moving industry continues to grow and SEO protocol continually evolves, so do our marketing strategies – resulting in a continuous growth of traffic to their website and increase in lead generation. Moving Proz even decided to expand their business with more trucks and have recently added Google Ads Management to their services to create even more brand awareness.

 

That is why our team is dedicated to being experts in many industries. We work with businesses in storage, landscaping, auto repair, home services, and more.

 

We started with a simple idea; put customer service first and always deal with local business owners honestly. Since 2012, we have helped hundreds of clients grow their business. We take pride in working with you from day one and building your trust.
