01 — The challenge
Almost no organic presence in a local market that searches first.
Homeowners looking for duct cleaning search before they call, and they search locally. Nettoyage Danfour had a functioning site but very little organic visibility — around 32,000 impressions and 437 clicks in a year, which for a Montreal service area is a rounding error.
With a fixed advertising budget, that gap mattered twice: every branded and high-intent search the site could not rank for had to be bought instead.
“The ads work, but they stop the day I stop paying. I wanted something that keeps bringing people in when I am not spending.”
That is the honest case for organic in a local service business: it is slower, it compounds, and it makes the paid account cheaper by absorbing the demand that should never have needed a click.
02 — Our approach
Rank for the service, the season and the neighbourhood.
Coverage was built around how the service is actually searched: the service itself, the reasons people book it, and the specific areas served. Local service SEO rewards specificity over volume — one page that genuinely answers a neighbourhood-level query outperforms a page written for a national keyword.
Technical and on-page fundamentals came first because they gate everything else: crawlable structure, clean titles and headings, correct local markup, and pages fast enough on mobile to survive a homeowner's patience.
The paid account then informed the organic plan. Search-term data from a live Google Ads account is the best keyword research available — it shows which queries produce booked jobs rather than which ones have volume, and the content roadmap was ordered by that evidence.
03 — What we did
Fundamentals, local coverage, paid-informed content.
Nothing exotic. Executed in the right order, over twelve months.
Technical foundations
Fixed what was gating every other gain
Crawlable structure, clean titles and headings, correct local markup, and mobile pages fast enough to hold a homeowner's attention. Unglamorous and non-negotiable.
Local coverage
Pages for the neighbourhoods, not just the city
Local service SEO rewards specificity. Coverage was built by service, by reason-to-book and by area served, because a page that answers a neighbourhood query beats one written for a national keyword.
Paid-informed content
Used real search terms instead of keyword volume
The live Google Ads account shows which queries produce booked jobs, not just which have volume. That evidence set the content order — the single biggest advantage of running both channels together.
Compounding measurement
Reported on matched months only
Growth is only claimed across months where both years have data. It produces smaller headlines than the alternative and it is the only version that survives scrutiny.
04 — The results
Twelve matched months: 106,708 impressions, 839 clicks.
