In this case study, we discuss how we redesigned a renovation company website called Mr Home Remodel which was experiencing sluggish SEO results prior to the new website refresh from Clio Websites.
The Results
- Traffic skyrocketed from near-zero to ~100 monthly organic visits in < 3 months (see graph).
- 30+ priority keywords hit page-one, 9 jumped into the top-3.
- Leads doubled month-over-month (contact-form completions).
- Achieved a 99% technical-SEO score.
Metric | Before (Aug 2024) | 90 Days Post-Launch (Dec 2024) | Lift |
---|---|---|---|
Ahrefs “Organic Traffic” estimate | ≈ 1-3 visits/mo | 100+ visits/mo | 3,200 %+ |
Core Web Vitals (LCP) | 4.8 s (fail) | 1.7 s (pass) | -64 % |
Technical-SEO score (Site Audit) | 63 % | 99 % | +36 pts |
The Challenge
Mr Home Remodel’s old site looked fine but failed behind the scenes:
- Sluggish load times & blocking JS/CSS
- No schema, thin meta data, duplicated H-tags
- Crawl depth > 5 for key service pages
- Zero local-SEO signals for their local area
The result? Minimal impressions, almost no organic leads, and a frustrated owner who knew the site could do better.
