At RYNO Strategic Solutions, transparency is integral to what we do. It’s imperative to our process that we give you real, raw data about your campaign and how it’s performing. No smoke in mirrors, and no fluffing the numbers!

Today, we’re taking a look at a case study of one of our clients, Black-Haak!

Black-Haak


Black-Haak started in 1956, and serves a wide area in Wisconsin with a full range of heating, cooling, plumbing, and electrical services. They joined RYNO Strategic Solutions in late 2020 as an Inc. 500 fastest-growing company.

At the height of the pandemic, many companies were pulling back their marketing and operating with fear. Black-Haak was ready to take things to the next level.

They wanted a new website that looked great and had a good experience for their customers. Of course, they also wanted to grow! Let’s take a look at how their campaign has fared thus far.

By The Numbers


We’ll be taking a look at some of the key performance indicators that show how well the campaign is performing. What gets measured gets managed, and the data is the true test of success.

CPL Overview


During the first month of their campaign, cost-per-lead (CPL) was as high as $159.53. One year into the campaign, CPL was as low as $37.46. Today, CPL remains significantly lower than when Black-Haak first launched with RYNO.

  • June 2023: $51.49 – $86.72 (2.5 years post-launch)

Pageviews


As with most SEO campaigns, it takes time for organic local search results to really roll in – but roll in, they did! By the 2-year mark, monthly organic user volume spiked and continues to increase into Q3 of 2023.

The uptick after December 2022 really happened when Black-Haak’s blogs started to gain top positions and featured snippets on Google. High-quality content = pageviews and snippets!

Top Pages / Posts
(Data taken from November 2022 – June 2023)

The total pageviews from these pages and posts totals a whopping: 134,069. That’s real traffic to the site which means more and more lead-generation opportunities, which is what this game is all about. Plus, it signals to Google that the site and the content within is something worth pointing users to!

Organic Users


From November 2022 – June 2023, you can see organic user growth spike. This is tied to the increase in visibility and ranking for many of the site’s blogs and featured snippets.

Organic Keyword Rankings, YoY

Targeting and tracking keywords is vital in an SEO campaign. You need to know what keywords will bring in the leads the business needs, and then be able to see how well you’re ranking for those keywords – as well as how many keywords you’re ranking for!
