Brakes Plus Success Story

Situation

With a new website launch recently under their belt, Brakes Plus thought everything was going well — until they noticed that traffic was going down and their content seemed to be lowering in search rank. These were a key indicator of success, as their website listed each location across the nation. So if people weren’t finding their website and its various pages, the company had a big problem.

Once onboarded, V9’s SEO and website launch team assessed this situation and quickly found out why Brakes Plus new website launch had caused problems: they had no website launch support — or any SEO oversight of any kind. As a result, there was plenty of duplicate content across the website for each of the 50+ locations. V9’s SEO team knew this could hurt Brakes Plus ranking as well as reputation in search, so they immediately devised a plan to reverse the damage done.

Solution

V9’s first step to boosting Brakes Plus SEO was a comprehensive website audit that included technical SEO, content reviews, link audits, and local search reviews. From there, a SEO roadmap was developed that:

• Found and offered solutions for technical issues
• Optimized the entire website for both locations and services
• Developed a link building strategy to build domain authority
• Distributed local search information across a wide network of internet yellow page sites to gain local searches on both desktop and mobile phones

Using a multi-faceted SEO approach, it was easy for V9’s team to highlight areas of concern and work with Brakes Plus to resolve them. This led to a more streamlined website and a much more search-friendly sitemap. Best of all, it worked.

Results

After our post-launch SEO support, Brakes Plus went from not ranking on Google to being ranking #1 for ‘brakes’ in the primary target market (Denver, CO). The campaign also resulted in increased non-branded organic traffic by 234% in one year — that’s a big number. This organic traffic increase was achieved by increasing the total number of keywords Brakes Plus targeted, growing from 537 keywords to 1,155 keywords in about 1 year through website SEO efforts and local profile optimizations.

Additionally, Brakes Plus started ranking in the “local pack” for localized search results, which is the most valuable real estate for a location-heavy company. Thanks to V9’s team of SEO experts, Brakes Plus was able to reverse any damage caused by their web launch — and even surpass previous growth metrics.
