180% Organic Traffic Growth in 6 Months for a Leading Construction Company

Overview

A leading construction company approached us with one clear goal — to increase organic traffic and generate more qualified leads. Despite having an established website, the company struggled to attract consistent organic visibility.

Over a six-month period, we implemented a holistic SEO strategy that tackled technical performance, on-page improvements, and a complete content refresh. The result was a 180% increase in organic traffic, stronger keyword rankings, and a noticeable uptick in inbound leads from search.

Challenge

Before partnering with us, the company’s website faced multiple barriers that limited its SEO performance.

1. Technical Issues Holding Back Performance

The website suffered from slow load times, unoptimized assets, and mobile usability problems. These technical challenges created poor user experiences, high bounce rates, and low rankings.

2. Outdated and Unstructured Content

Much of the existing content was outdated, poorly optimized, or competing for the same keywords. Service pages lacked depth, while blog posts didn’t align with user search intent. This weakened topical authority and made it difficult for the site to rank for competitive industry terms.

3. Weak On-Page SEO and Internal Linking

Critical pages lacked proper meta data, schema markup, and consistent header structures. Internal linking was minimal, leaving valuable pages isolated. Without a strategic linking framework, both users and search engines had trouble discovering important content.

Strategy

To address these challenges, we developed a comprehensive SEO plan focused on three pillars: technical SEO, content optimization, and on-page improvements — all designed to build a sustainable foundation for organic growth.

Technical SEO Enhancements

We started by running a full technical audit to identify crawl, speed, and indexing issues. Key improvements included:

  • Optimizing Core Web Vitals and improving page load speed by compressing images and implementing browser caching.
  • Fixing crawl errors and broken internal links.
  • Cleaning up unnecessary redirects and ensuring proper canonicalization.
  • Enhancing mobile usability and accessibility for better user experience and rankings.

Content Optimization and Expansion

Next, we restructured the content strategy. Outdated and duplicate pages were removed or consolidated, while underperforming service and location pages were rewritten with clear, localized intent.

We also introduced new, long-form content that targeted relevant keyword clusters within the construction and estimating space. Each piece was optimized for both readability and conversions

On-Page Optimization and Internal Linking

We optimized title tags, meta descriptions, and heading structures across the site. Schema markup was added to enhance search appearance.

One of the biggest improvements came from revamping the internal linking structure. We built logical connections between high-traffic blogs and key service pages, improving both crawlability and topical depth. This not only distributed link equity more effectively but also improved the average session duration and engagement rate.

See how we helped a law firm achieve 267% daily traffic growth in just six months — another example of sustainable SEO results.

Results

Within six months, the construction company saw measurable improvement across all core SEO metrics.

Key Highlights

  • 180% increase in organic traffic
  • 2.4M+ impressions and 27,000+ clicks recorded in Google Search Console
  • 40% improvement in page speed and reduced bounce rate
  • Top 3 rankings for key service-related terms in local and national search results

The consistent upward trend demonstrated how technical cleanup, improved content quality, and smarter internal linking combined to create sustainable results — not just temporary ranking spikes.

Key Takeaways

  • Strong SEO starts with technical health. A well-performing site ensures your content can actually rank.
  • Content quality outweighs quantity. Rewriting and consolidating underperforming pages improved overall authority.
